What is the thing which looked like a gun?
It is called Ishibiya (Stone Fire Arrow). Ishibiya is old Japanese for “hand cannon”. Firearms were first introduced to Japan by the Portuguese in 1543. However, fireworks came from China prior to that, and there are some speculations that hand cannons were imported from China before 1543. The Ishibiya are manufactured at Tataraba (the iron making encampment) by Lady Eboshi’s men. People fight against Mononoke Hime and the Animal Gods using Ishibiya.
