Hon Biwa (Loquat)
Unique Piece!This "Hon Biwa" Bokken is made from a single piece of Loquat. The term Loquat (or Japanese Medlar) includes several subspecies, and the type of wood used for the production of this particular model is the one that has been used for hundreds of years in Japan for the manufacture of exceptional Bokken. Wood is handpicked by Master Aramaki, 3rd generation Master from the Aramaki workshop.
On the Tsukagashira (pommel), you will find the mark of the workshop (a cross), and on the left side of the Tsuka, master Aramaki's signature. "Hyuga no kuni, Miyakonojo, Junin, Sandaime, Kazuhiro Saku", meaning "Made by Kazuhiro, third of the name, a resident of Miyakonojo, province of Hyuga."
The "Aramaki Gold Signature" is a special product. This is the quintessence of the Aramaki workshop art, but it is destined to be displayed or offered as a gift during major occasions, not to be used for practice. The signature is painted with genuine Japanese natural dye.
This model is offered in classic deluxe shape (presenting a line between tsuka and blade).- Wood species: Hon Biwa (true Japanese Loquat)
- Style : Deluxe Bokken shape (Tokusei)
- Finish: Non-varnished (camellia oil polish).
- Manufacturing workshop: Aramaki
- Signature of the craftman : on the left side of the tsuka when the weapons is held by the handle.
All our high-end Bokken are offered nonvarnished (camellia oil polish finish). Note that unvarnished weapons are much more pleasant to the touch as well as usage. Unvarnished weapons are more ecologically friendly, but they require regular (monthly) maintenance with oil (camellia or wood maintenance oil) and they can only be made from the finest, Japanese quality woods. Given the need for maintenance of these weapons, our stocks are limited.
Deluxe Hon Biwa Bokken Specifications Weight ~480 g Full length 101.5 cm Blade length 75.5 cm Tsuka length 26 cm Tsuka diameter 37 x 26 mm Mine Kenmine (chevroned spine) Tsuka shape Hanmaru (rounded butt) Kissaki Daikissaki (long) (~3 cm) About counterfeit products :
The "real" Biwa is known under the name of "Hon Biwa" even though Tsubaki (camellia) is now also sold under the name "Biwa". The Hon Biwa is currently used by only one workshop, Aramaki, and it is only manufactured by the master craftsman of that workshop. The Hon Biwa is very close in appearance as in technical specifications to Tsubaki (camellia). The Loquat of Japan is very expensive because the wood is very rare and subject to drastic cutting quotas. On the tsukagashira (pommel), you will find the mark of the workshop (a cross) and on the left side of the tsuka, master Aramaki's signature. "Hyuga no kuni, Miyakonojo Junin, Sandaime, Kazuhiro Saku", meaning "Made by Kazuhiro, third of the name, a resident of Miyakonojo, province of Hyuga." All classic Hon Biwa Bokken harbor a very thorough finish and a high marking of the Kissaki. This finish is typically used to make the difference between "false" biwa (tsubaki) and Hon Biwa (Loquat). -
