Weapon Engraving Services

Available fonts (style) 4 Japanese fonts, 3 English fonts
Depth The stronger the laser, the deeper the engraving. Superficial is quite discreet, standard is deep enough to stand forever, deep can go up to 1 mm depth and creates a burning effect within the engraving.
Free transcriptions You can write your name in English and select a "Japanese" font, in which case we will take care of the transcription. 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. Please also note that initials cannot be translated into Japanese. Consequently, they will always be engraved in English.
Number of engravings You can order a maximum of 3 engravings per weapon from this page. The modules N1, N2, and N3 correspond to the engravings Number 1, number 2, and number 3. These modules are identical and you can add them in the order you wish. Of course, we cannot engrave twice in the same place, so please pay attention to the chosen positions.
For more than 3 engravings, please contact us prior to placing your order.
Limitations We engrave in Japanese and English only (no Chinese, Korean, etc.) For any special request (logo/design), contact us prior to your order. (Undiscussed demands will be ignored).

    Standard Plastic Tsuba (brown)

    Prices vary depending on selected options.

    Standard Plastic Tsuba

    Material: PVC
    Tsubadome (rubber ring) optional (white or brown).
    Size: ~7.8 cm x ~6 mm

    Basic brown plastic tsuba, a guard that will protect your hands during full contact practice, which is fixed on your bokken with a rubber ring.
    This plastic Tsuba is the only made in Japan plastic Tsuba designed for classic Bokken on the market and only exists in brown color.

    It will fit on all standard and high-end bokken, with or without groove, and on chuto (short bokken) and shoto (wakizashi), but might require a little filing depending on the exact shape of the blade (particularly at the mine).
    Please make sure you select the correct size as the hole is slightly smaller for Shoto size. The M (Chuto) size can still be recut for a Bokken, but a Bokken Tsuba will be too large for a Chuto.

    Product Information & Size Chart

    • Standard Shoto 54.5 cm - Red/White Oak

      Made in Japan (Kyushu)

      Flat Spine | Flat butt | Small Kissaki

      Red Oak, or White Oak available

      This standard Shoto model is made from either red or white oak. It features a basic finish, a flat Tsukagashira, a Hiramine and a Shokissaki. The wood selected is of high quality but unlike for higher grade models, it does not undergo particular selection.

      These weapons are perfectly standard models, suitable for any type of practice but with a simple finish and basic quality Japanese wood. Excellent for beginners and clubs, however not recommended for experienced practitioners.

      This product is also available in the "Standard Daisho Set - Bokken & Shoto Set" with a 1000 YEN rebate in comparison to separate purchases.

      • Choice of wood species: red oak, white oak.
      • Finish: Camellia Oil Polish
      • Manufacturing workshop: Aramaki

      At Seido, we complete the workshop finish with Camelia oil treatment by default. This is the standard Seido finish.
      We do not apply any additional polishing for this finish, so some weapons might have a slightly rough surface.
      For higher quality finish, please consider our deluxe models, which are available with our "Seido Special Finish".
      For maintenance, we recommend that you oil your weapons about once a month with a vegetal based oil.

      リーズナブル

      追加で注文しましたが、商品の質が高く、この値段で購入できることがリーズナブルだと感じています。
      これまでにいろいろな木刀を購入しましたが、長く使える木刀になると思います。

      サリー (神道夢想流杖術)
      ニスなし油磨き仕上げ

      杖のずっしり感が気に入り小刀も注文しました。

      小刀の仕上げはよかったのですが、杖は何か塗ってあり

      剥がして自分で処理しました。

      古流ですので道具の手入れも稽古の内です。

      ここは是非とも仕上げは 未処理 も選択種に入れておいて下さい。

      いづれにしても物は非常に良いので木刀も注文したいと思っています。
