  • One type of metsubushi was used by police for blowing powdered dust into the eyes of a suspect. It is described as being a lacquer or brass box with a wide mouthpiece for blowing on, and a hole or pipe on the other end for directing the powder into the eyes of the person being captured. Another type was a powder made up of mud, flour, and dirt. For severe damage, it could also include fine-ground glass. It was kept in hollowed-out eggs (happō), bamboo tubes or other small containers. When confronted by an attacker, a person would throw the metsubushi in the attacker's eyes, blinding him, while the victim ran off or hid himself. The Giyoshu military manual includes a recipe for kasumo no kona (mist powder): * Pepper * Ash of Mishashagi (unknown material) * Flower of a thistle * Iron filings The mixture would be placed into a bamboo cane or wrapped in cloth.
