Bokken have been used for years in martial arts; they are highly efficient for training, given the ease of which a bokken can be replaced. This Practical Tokugawa Bokken Sword is equally effective at training as it is acting as a showpiece. Bokken is a Japanese term applying to any wooden sword of Japanese origin; bokken actually means wood sword (boku means wood, ken means sword). This bokken has well-wrapped handle, which ensures a secure grip on the hilt. Perhaps the most striking feature of this wooden piece are the symbols that repeat down the edge of the wooden blade; the repeating series of circles, surrounding three leaves, represents the Tokugawa clan; this clan ruled Japan for over 200 years, during what is known as the Edo period. Commemorate this powerful clan in your every-day life and training with the Practical Tokugawa Bokken Sword.
