Bokken are traditionally left undecorated, because they are designed for sparring and training only; ornamental bokken, though, do exist. Typically, such bokken, like our Natural Engraved Dragon Bokken, are meant purely for aesthetic purposes. The primary reason why a bokken is left undecorated is two-fold: reason one is because too much engraving and carving would weaken the structure of the bokken, and the second reason is because training with a decorative item would only destroy the decoration. This bokken, however, could be used for solo practice, so long as the practice involves little actual impact on the bokken itself. Made from solid wood and left unvarnished, this beautiful piece is engraved with a black dragon along the blade, while the grip is wrapped with black cord in the same fashion as a katana. An engraved bokken is an excellent gift-idea for the practitioner of the Japanese sword, so why not consider giving them a Natural Engraved Dragon Bokken?
