Anything is used as a weapon
Samurai most often fought enemies with Japanese swords in battle, but it is said that they first practiced using a folding fan as a substitute for a sword.
In addition, there is also a tradition that Jubei Yagyu, who is one of the masters of swords in Japanese history, used a folding fan in actual battle.
The feature of Iaido is that you can use whatever you have around you as a weapon and adapt to any situation.
