*'''''[[Commons:Category:Boshin|Boshin]]''''', the main shaft of the ''jitte'' which could be round or faceted. The ''boshin'' of most ''jitte'' were iron, but some were made from wood.<ref>Thomas Louis, Tommy Ito, [https://books.google.com/books?id=wExlaM1ov0sC&dq=hachiwara&pg=PA128 Samurai: ''The Code of the Warrior''], Sterling Publishing Company, Inc., 2008; p.129</ref>
