Deluxe Bokken - Exotic Wood - Tsubaki (Camellia Japonica)
Deluxe Bokken 101.5 cm Tsubaki
Made in Japan (Kyushu)
Chevroned Spine | Rounded butt | Long Kissaki
Tsubaki (Camellia japonica) available
This Bokken has an almost identical finish to that of the red and white oak models and is available made from Tsubaki (Camellia japonica). The characteristic of this wood makes it a great classic of Japanese wood crafting. Not as luxurious as ebony, but an excellent choice for intermediate practitioners wishing to acquire a bokken that is also a quality work of art. Made by master Aramaki, this model undergoes a very strict wood selection and special attention is paid to its finish.
Tsubaki is a light wood used for finesse and precision. This bokken will also make a great gift for someone who has passed a grading examination.
A bokken made from Camellia can safely be used by any practitioner.
Due to quotas established by the Japanese government, Tsubaki (Camellia Japonica) is available in limited quantities.
- Choice of wood species: Tsubaki (camellia japonica)
- Finish: Non varnish (oil polish).
- Manufacturing workshop: Aramaki for all models
All our high-end bokken are offered non-varnished (camellia oil polish finish). Note that unvarnished weapons are much more pleasant to the touch and during practice.
Unvarnished weapons are more ecologically-friendly, but they require regular (monthly) maintenance with oil (camellia or wood maintenance oil), and they can only be made from the finest, Japanese quality woods. Given the need for maintenance of these weapons, our stocks are limited. Also, since the craftsmen must select the best wood possible to manufacture these weapons, the processing time is longer than for varnished weapons.
