What is japanese bat weapon?

The Japanese bat weapon is known as a taiko and is a traditional Japanese drum used in martial arts. The taiko, made of wood, leather or iron, is used as a weapon during battle by samurais, and in modern times, in martial arts such as kendo and ninjutsu. The taiko can be of varying sizes and is typically swung around using a chain or rope attached to the drum. This allows the user to easily attack from a distance and gives them an advantage in close-range combat. The taiko is also used in traditional Japanese music and performances.
