宮本武蔵櫂型素振大刀【白樫】

Truly a wonderful suburito. The white oak used is of very high quality and therefore already a rarity. The handle is quite a bit thicker than that of a normal suburito, which must be taken into account when buying. With small hands, the handle could be uncomfortable.

A beautiful object, super nice finish! don’t usually write reviews but the quality of this and the friendliness, speed, attention to detail, packaging, keeping me up to date, it’s all five star stuff in a world where many seem to have given up even striving for mediocre results. This experience of buying from Seido has truly made this Musashi bokken special. I am at awe and just want to say thanks again.

Beautiful weapon, no matter how you use it it is definitely worth the investment. Material and craftsmanship is truly unique, with the seido finish issuperb and you wan to train with it but also display it. Delivery was faster than domestic order!

Produit conforme à mes attentes, envoi très rapide et soigné

Wow! Such a beautiful work of art! I have gifted this peice to my best friend whom guided me to learning how to work with and appreciate all bokkens. Thank you very much for your dedication to your craft.

I purchased this piece to aid in my training and am not surprised at the outstanding quality Seido delivers. The delivery speed was impressive. The well balanced weight of this piece makes for excellent controlled drills. Not only practical but aesthetic as well; the history behind the style of the piece, coupled with the superior material and craftsmanship make this piece a treasure. I am pleased to have added this piece to my training set!

First and foremost, the shipping was amazing and fast. Also seidoshop informed me that the delivery was made and had fantastic follow up service. The piece itself is beautiful. If you were on the fence then buy immediately. It is hard these days to come across true craftsmanship, and care from a company. I can say with all confidence that I found it here. The weight, the solid feel of the peice, and the balance is perfect. I bought this to help train with a longer heavier odachi that I own, this will definitely help me wield it better, as well as build some muscle in the process. It is light enough to be controlled but heavy enough to gain some stability and strength, which is the whole reason I bought it. The fact that it is similar to the oar Musashi used is just the cream on top! I really can't do justice to how easy it was from purchase to delivery of product, Seidoshop is great!!

Another splendid weapon and historical piece from Seido. Beautiful work, and thank you for the prompt delivery. My first impression upon taking this in hand was the realization of how powerful Musashi had to have been to wield such a piece easily. Simply to hold it or work with it adds an additional dimension to history and, indeed, brings the history to life as only a fine and accurate replica could. It also brought to mind Musashi's purported final words to Sasaki Kojiro upon his objection to Musashi's choice of wood: "I will raise my wooden sword and manifest its secrets." As advertised, excellent for suburi as well. It will make you work. It also served well as the centerpiece/object lesson for our service at the Japanese Baptist Church of North Texas last Sunday, as with its size and beautiful craftsmanship it was sure to be noticed, observed and remembered. Thank you for the great work and attention to detail, and for helping to keep both the history and the tradition alive.

This shipped very quickly to the US! The white oak is very strong compared to red oak items (this only comes in white oak as of this writing), and though such isn’t needed for Suburi, this has a solid build. The varnish is perfect and it rests very well in my hands. It’s heavier than I thought it would be. Ultimately, I am happy with my purchase, and would recommend this to anyone (especially Niten students).

Très beau bokken, ici en version huilé. Très bien fini. Pour ce qui est de l'expédition, parfait, très bien emballé, sachant qu'il y avait de l'huile de camélia dans le paquet. Reçu rapidement et en bonne état.

Merci Budoexport.
