The Tanegashima seems to have been based on snap matchlocks that were produced in India, and came from the island where Portuguese adventurers on board was driven to anchor by a storm. The lord of the Japanese island Tanegashima Tokitaka purchased two matchlock muskets from the Portuguese and put a swordsmith to work in copying the matchlock barrel and firing mechanism. Within a few years the use of the tanegashima in battle forever changed the way war was fought in Japan, and from 1560, firearms were used in large battles in Japan.
