bokkenshop
Bokkenshop is being operated by Tozando group, one of the most famous Budo equipment suppliers and specializes bokken and traditional Japanese/Asian wooden weaponaries for those who look for high quality equipment.
Bokkenshop was at first just one of the product categories for the Tozando Online Shopping website, but due to the increase of more specialized bokken and other related items, the category was separated from the Tozandoshop website and opened as bokkenshop.com.
All products available from Bokkenshop are proudly handmade in Japan and the Bokkenshop has served the ever increasing multinational interest. Today, bokkenshop ships to over thirty countries - on nearly every continent. Meeting the tenets of its formation, Bokkenshop continually strives to offer the best bokken at the best value.
We also work tirelessly to meet the high customer service standards of the entire world. At Bokkenshop, it is our goal to contribute as much as we can to the legitimate advancement of Budo across the globe.
The bokken and other wooden products offered by bokkenshop.com are
made through a process that perfectly blends the scrutiny of tradition
with the consistency of advanced technology. Every piece is made only
from carefully selected wood - wood that undergoes several selection
measures throughout the entire manufacturing process.
For example, our products made from
traditional white oak must pass a selection process before they are cut
into large planks, another one after they are dried under the sun for
three to six months, another one before they are cut into smaller
planks, and a fourth one after they are dried in special dryers for two
more weeks. Only the highest quality woods go on to be shaped. This
scrutiny in drying our woods is a must because all woods react
differently to the drying process, and because moisture greatly inhibits
the ultimate integrity of the shaped product. All of this happens under
the examining eye of our expert craftsmen. In this way, our weapons can
very much be considered to be in line with the traditional Japanese
aesthetic of perfectly blending form and function.
However, we include modern technological
innovations as well. In order to provide consistency, an advanced
shaping machine is used to determine the proper length, width, and
general shape of every weapon - which of course also adds to the
integrity of the product. This process is followed by a painstaking
twelve-step sanding process that is all done by hand. Only at this point
is the weapon finally polished and lacquered. The end result is a
strong, no-nonsense, well-balanced, and perfectly weighted weapon that
will serve you well in your training.
We are very proud of our products, and we are sure that you will be as well.
