This Deluxe Camellia Bokken is made of selected high-quality Camellia wood grown in Japan and features a ridged spine and rounded butt for a more realistic Shinken feeling when training. Available in Daito and Shoto versions.
This long model is recommended for Aikido and Koryu practitioners for Suburi and general paired contact kata practice.

Why Camellia?

Camellia, "Tsubaki" in Japanese, is mainly known for producing beautiful flowers during winter to early spring, but Kendo practitioners recognize the Camellia as a source of great wood for Bokuto. It is known for its luxurious color and its fine grains which gives the final product a very smooth feel.

Camellia Bokuto can also be characterized by being very hard while also being resilient, which makes it strong against impact and damage. The hardness of Camellia wood is comparable to that of Isu, or Sunuke, making it very preferable for making Bokuto.

※Due to the unique shape of the mine ridge on this Bokuto, standard plastic tsuba will not fit. Leather Tsuba will need to be modified/ shaven to fit correctly. As this can be dangerous, Tozando cannot recommend customers do so and if they do, Tozando cannot be held responsible for any personal injury or product damage that may incur.  

*Due to the concerns for the health of our wooden workshop artisans, varnish will be replaced by wax for the finishing of all wooden weapons.

*Each item will have distinct color variations.
