What is Kiri?

Kiri is also know as 'Paulownia Tomentosa'. Kiri is an extremely light and valuable wood that has been used for making wooden boxes for storing tea ceremony tools and Japanese Katana since ancient times in Japan. Because of its extremely lightweight softness, it's for contact practice but it can be used by children, women, or people recovering from injuries for Kata practice, and has traditionally been used for Enbu (performances) and sword dances where it shows its worth.
