		The rokushakubo of Okinawa may have been introduced from China but the tapered version - called a kon - is indigenous to the islands.
		Rokushakubo and kon techniques were not designed or developed for the warrior class but for the farmers and fishermen who needed protection from footpads (thieves) and brigands.
		The rokushakubo of the samurai is totally different in both technique and application.

	BRIAN MALLON'S LITTLE WARRIORS \| www.brianmallonjujitsu.co.uk
		A full-size Bo is also known as a rokushakubo.
		This comes from the Japenese words Roku(meaning "six"), shaku(a Japenese measurement equivalent to just under one foot) and bo (kanji, Chinese character meaning "staff") Thus, rokushakubo means literally a staff just over six shaku (feet) long.
		The art of wielding the Bo is bojutsu.

		I've just measured that (good job no one shares my office!) and that was 43.5 inches for me. So a rokushakubo for me would be about 87 inches.
		As a "standard" shop-bought rokushakubo is 72 inches, that equals an appreciably longer weapon.

		Gonnosuke had studied the use of a number of different weapons during his time with the 'Tenshin Shoden katori Shinto Ryu' [ a famous traditional school still extant today] in the late sixteenth century and had eventually begun a tour of Japan in order to test his skills.

		Gonnosuke was defeated but, uncharacteristically for the time, was allowed to live by Musashi.

		AFAIK, there are only a couple of the old deshi who did bo (long staff).
		Some others may have grafted it onto their jo work at some time, but the rokushakubo simply doesn't appear in most aikido syllabi.
