Rules questions: bowing attachments

By RafaelNN, in Legend of the Five Rings: The Card Game

My group and I have a question: if an attachment is bowed, does it give its bonus to military and political conflicts? For example if a niten adept bows a fine katana, or a crab bows a tetsubo, do the still contribute their +X to the conflict?
