Note that several translations exist for the same name and that we cannot accept claims. (Please use the text field to add a comment if the pronunciation is unusual. If you already have a translation, please attach a picture). We do not translate expressions or initials, only names or words. Requests for expressions translations will be ignored and refunded.

Hanmaru Tonfa - Semicircular - Red Oak
Made in Japan (Kyushu)
Red Oak only
Urethane Varnished
Total length: 44 cm
Sold by unit (1) or by pair (2)Hanmaru means 'semicircular' and refers to the shaft's shape, rounded on the external side of the Tonfa. Its dimensions are based on the squared shaft model. The semicircular shaft allows smoother parrying whilst the shaft is kept thick enough to withstand heavy contacts. This Tonfa is a bit lighter than the square model, but still significantly heavier than the very light rounded model.
Tonfa length: The handle is fixed at about 8 cm to 9 cm from the tip, which means that on a 44 cm Tonfa, you will have about 34 cm in length from the handle to your elbow.
Handle size: The handle full length is 11 cm, including the knob that prevents the Tonfa from slipping when performing motion techniques. First of all, measure your hand's width, at the level of the knuckles, with the hand stretched out on a table. For the standard handle: hand width up to 9 cm.

Tonfa Order Disclaimer
Tonfa can be considered as weapons in some countries. Although, by experience, we know there is no problem with North America and most European countries, we recommend checking that the import of Tonfa is not prohibited in your country before placing your order.
Tonfa are made to order and Seido shall not be held responsible for any difficulties, import refusal or other trouble at customs clearance. In the event of this occurring, only limited refunds (depending on the level of customization) can be granted.
Also, please note that due to international payment regulations, PayPal payment is not available at checkout when ordering a Tonfa or a Nunchaku. If you wish to purchase other products at the same time and use PayPal, we recommend to order the Tonfa or Nunchaku separately. We can still ship all items together if the orders are placed within a few hours and a comment is added in the comment field. -

英素晴らしい出来です。丁寧な作りと仕上げに大変満足してます。
RWonderful Craftsmanship!I received my Hanmaru Tonfa today and am really thrilled with the quality and workmanship. It is really great to practice with a genuine kubodo weapon hand made in Japan. These tonfa are well worth the price and something I am truly proud to own. Thank you to Seido's talented craftsman and despite current hardships, I hope they will continue to produce these wonderful products for many years to come.
た扱いやすいやや重さのあるこちらのモデルを注文しましたが、扱いやすくサイズ感も丁度でした。
全体の仕上がりも綺麗で手触りも滑らかで、持ち手部分の接合部もしっかりしています。
手入れしつつ愛用して行きたいです。山半丸型トンファー始めて株式会社星道さんにトンファーを注文しましたが、対応が早く注文した次の日に届いたので非常に満足してます。梱包もしっかりしていて安心感がありました。
ニス無し半丸型トンファーを購入しましたが、全体的な油磨きの仕上がりが非常に綺麗でした。握りの長さ、直径、親指と人差し指が接触する頭部の顎の局面仕上がりが非常に手にしっくりくるので、トンファーを振るときに手首の返しがやりやすく、油磨き仕上げが手の平のすべりの潤滑剤的役割をするので、手の平に汗を掻いた時にニス仕上げで有り勝ちな引っ掛かりがありませんでした。本体の長さ、幅、半丸のＲ仕上げ、重量も満足してます。
型での扱いもやりやすく、棒や木刀での対人稽古も油磨きの扱いやすさが効果的でした。しかし、安全性の面で不満があります。本体の握りが付いている面の両角（かまぼこ型の底面になる面の角）の面取りがＲ１位の糸面取りになっていますが、この部分は腕に接触することがあるのでＲ５位の面取りにすべきです。また、本体の握り側の端面の角も皮膚に当たると痛いのでＲ３位の曲面にすべきです。使う人の技術レベルの違いにもよりますが、初心者レベルの方が初めて手にするには改善の余地があるのではないでしょうか。
私も含め仲間たちは木工製品は自分に合うように調整するのが当たり前ですが、上記の改善点を考慮いただければ幸いです。
お値段も手ごろで満足してます。
ありがとうございました。
また、利用させていただきます。この度は当店をご利用いただき、誠にありがとうございます。
また、貴重なご意見ありがとうございました。
トンファーの仕上げについては、使用される方々のレベルや操作方法に合わせてご指摘いただいた箇所の仕上げ方法等において、いくつかバリエーションがあればさらにいいのですが、トンファを製作していた工房が昨年、廃業してしまい現状モデルのみの形状となっております。誠に申し訳ございません。安全面についても、今後の商品開発や改善の参考にさせていただきます。またの機会がございましたら、是非、ご利用くださいませ。スタッフ一同、心よりお待ち申し上げております。この度は誠にありがとうございました。JBueatifulWell made, beautifully crafted. The best tradional tonfa available. Great service from true artists.
CExcellent crafted wooden tonfa!Oak used to make this tonfa is quite good and delicately crafted. How the handle anchored to the body follows the traditional eastern way. It was not uncommon decades ago but seldom nowadays. Most martial art stuff suppliers provide plastic tonfa only! I gave four star because the price is too high.
Thank you very much for the nice review!
Unfortunately, that kind of authentic craftsmanship does not come cheap, particularly when it is made entirely in Japan. For sure, cheaper items can be found on the market when they come from neighboring countries where salaries are lower, but the Japanese quality has its price!
In any case, we're glad that you appreciated the quality, and we hope it will go on giving you satisfaction over time.Jean-François
RTop Quality Weapons that easily rival the Shureido brand.I purchased a set of the large oil finished Tonfa as a trial to compare with Shureido and I could not be happier. They are top quality and very well crafted. The weight is a bit heavier than the Shureido Large Sized Tonfa and is heavy toward the tail end. The wood, fit and finish craftsmanship is equal to if not superior than my set of Shureido Tonfa. I discovered and tried the Seido Shop due to there being virtually zero availability of Shureido wooden Kobudo weapons lately and can honestly say Seido Shop is a very good manufacturer of authentic and professional level Kobudo Weapons. I would hope that Tekko may at some point become available through the Seido Shop as well. The customer service is superior to most every other supplier of Budo Goods I have tried. Do not hesitate on ordering as quality is what you will receive. These are by no means cheap in price, but are also by no means "cheaply" crafted so you can buy nice or buy twice. This set will surely last a lifetime, and only become more cherished via wear in and patina. Thank you Seido Shop for delivering on your claims the first time error free!
