Matchlock pistols were also produced in Japan, at least in the Edo period, if not earlier; these were rare in Europe. A tanzutsu 短筒 literally means a short pistol. Intended for used by mounted warriors, they were called bajô zutsu , or "horsemen's cannon," but were in practice quite impractical. Nevertheless, they served their owners as status symbols.
