The following weapons were used in the anime film Princess Mononoke:


Ishibiya Hand Cannon

Japanese Ishibiya (石火矢) hand cannons are manufactured and used by Lady Eboshi's men. It is commonly believed that the first encounter of the Japanese with firearms was with the arrival of the Portuguese in the XVI century, however, it appears that earlier and more primitive guns like the Ishibiya were also used prior to this. The Ishibiya appears to have originated from the medieval Chinese hand cannon known as Chong or Huochong.
