I don't know why you think swords were the main weapon, because all the Western lolhistory shows that says so are wrong.
Spears were.
And in range, bows/tanegashima rifles.
Like everyone else.
Oh, and btw, we had the some of the biggest longbows in the world.
Yes, bigger than the English longbows. Thankfully we had bamboos, which are light, sturdy, and very flexible.
Don't believe everything you learn from videogames and ninja movies.
