Odd Thing #8: Giant Sticks

It’s something I’ve never understood: People walking around with Giant Sticks. I don’t see them all the time, but when I do I try to get a picture. Sometimes I don’t manage to, because the person gets on a train or something, so keep in mind that I’ve seen even more giant sticks than I’ve listed here.

I’ve excluded everything that I could easily recognize (i.e. a mop).

That isn't a pillar. It's something that she's carrying


This guy's stick was so big, I couldn't get it in one picture

Here's the same guy a bit later

What is that?

same guy as before, still no idea what he's holding. (At this range, I had to tilt the camera just to get the entire stick in frame!)

two at once!

gee, watch out for those signs

what the frick?

serriously, what the frick?

Three at once!

And another set of three, just a few minutes later. Frick, they're multiplying!

    Is it a katana or bokuto in the case, like you see some characters in anime with?

      Well, it’s probably not a katana, now that I look at this post again, not to mention thinking about the potential illegality of carrying one around.

    One more time now…
    So, did you ever find out or ask about what these things are?

    they are most probably kyudo bows.
