Please note that with Sunuke, it is important to be aware that in reality, it is an extremely rare and beautiful wood species made from aged, antique heart-wood of the Japanese Isu tree. A bokken made from Sunuke is a usually made from planks that are already over 100 years old. Therefore, although a great deal of care and attention goes into their production, it is naturally not possible for all Sunuke Bokken to be exempt from small imperfections. In Japan these ‘imperfections’ are generally considered to be a sign that the Bokken is indeed the genuine article, and therefore are preferred by some over Bokken which are without marks.
