Arrow for a bow, Japan

The copper-alloyed cutting tip of the battle or hunting arrow is attached to the bamboo shaft by a spike. A three-part radial fletching is preserved, but heavily frayed. The shaft end is slotted. Provenance: "Japan" (?). The object belongs to the estate of the senior general practitioner Georg Wilke (*1859 Dresden +1938 Rochlitz), which initially went to the teaching collection of the Rochlitz secondary school after his death and was transferred to the collection of Rochlitz Castle in the 1960s.
