The model Yagyu ryu is the favourite one of Tamura sensei to practice Aikido.
These bokken are made from Japanese oak from Kyushu (the southern part of Japan ) by NIDOME Bokuto Craft Company at Miyakonojo, in Kyushu. This company represented more than 80% of the bokken manufacturing market in Japan. Miyakonojo keeps the traditional way of manufacturing, such as drying the wood naturally in order not to destroy the fibers of oak; therefore our bokken are solid and robust and can be used for a long time. NIDOME Company uses the wood taken from 70 years old trees.
**Today, medlar wood (HON BIWA) is no longer found in Japan.
This bokken was manufactured by NIDOME with very high quality camellia wood.
This camelia too, the wood is over 300 years old.
The price of medlar and camellia wood are the same, the quality is also the same.
