This bokken is made of selected top quality Japanese White Oak (Shirogashi) and features Katana-like shape for a more realistic shinken feeling when training.
The White Oak Wood used for Japanese Bokken, also called Shirogashi, greatly differs from the White Oak Wood referred to when speaking about North American Bokken. While the North American Oak and Japanese Oak are related, the Japanese White Oak tree is evergreen, due to this it does not have a conspicuous open grain like the American White and Red Oak.
The open grain structure, of the American Oak wood produces soft areas which are more prone to impact damage.
Shirogashi on the other hand has a structure that is uniformly hard, has excellent dent resistance and has better impact strength than American Oaks. Compared to Akagashi the Shirogashi has denser grains which also makes it slightly heavier and more preferable as material for Bokken. Because of the durability and weight of Shirogashi, it's widely regarded as great material for making high quality Bokken.
Bokken – also called Bokuto - are wooden swords are used for practicing Kendo, Aikido, Iaido and other martial arts as substitutes for more dangerous and expensive swords like Katana. In order to safely handle katana or other Budo weapons, a swordsman must first master techniques with a training sword. Because they are made from real, carefully selected wood like shinai, Bokken must be none the less checked regularly for cracks or splinters. As they are carefully crafted, they must be equally carefully maintained.
Tozando offers bokken for various Budo styles. All Tozando Bokken are handmade in Japan by expert craftsmen. Tozando provides bokken made of white oak, red oak and rare African Ebony, in addition to other materials.
