Surujin
The surujin or suruchin is one of the traditional weapons of Okinawan Kobudo. It comprises a 2–3 metre long rope with a weight tied to each end. Historically this weapon is very prevalent and can be found attached to a weapon or used separately. It is a weapon designed for warfare.
In more recent times, specifically the end of the 19th century and early part of the 20th century, the surujin appeared as a weighted lightweight chain varying in length between 2 and 3 metres in length. At one end was a weight and the other a metal spike. The weight was used to throw at an opponent or to ensnare a weapon and the length of chain was then either pulled to unbalance the enemy or used to entwine them using techniques similar to that of hojojutsu. The spike was then employed to disable or administer a coup de grâce. It belongs to the broad class of chain weapons.
These are quite similar to the ninjutsu manriki.

Yahweh Love
by: Sarah JahnOoh,
Ooh, I've been born again.
Like a songbird in the canyon, it echoes in my mind,
Taking me farther from the memories of things I left behind,
And it's taken me so long to hear the music playing softly...softly in my ear.
Yahweh love, Yahweh love, Yahweh love,
Yahweh love, Yahweh, Yahweh love,
Yahweh love, Yahweh love, Yahweh love,
Yahweh love, Yahweh, Yahweh love.
I see a sign on every corner leading me astray,
I hear a thousand voices calling for me to walk away,
When I listen closely, I can hear the music playing softly...softly in my ear.
