What is Japanese Red Oak?
The oak used for our Bokuto, Akagashi and Shirakashi, greatly differs from the woods used in bokuto made outside of Japan. The structure of Japanese oak is uniformly hard, has excellent dent resistance and impact strength. Perfect for contact kata.
*Due to the concerns for the health of our wooden workshop artisans, varnish will be replaced by wax for the finishing of all of wooden weapons.
