Kaginawa (Hooked Rope)

A thin rope of hemp is best, about 1 jou (10 feet); a three-pointed grappling hook is attached to one end. This is used when climbing over a high wall, or to secure a boat, or for hanging up uour armour when you are resting in camp, and other purposes. It is carried attached to the kura-no-shiode (a ring attached to the saddle).
