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.
Prices vary depending on selected options.
Rigid Leather Tsuba for Bokken and Shoto
Material: cow leather
Tsubadome (rubber ring) optional (white or brown).
Size: ~7.6 cm x ~7 mm
Thick leather Tsuba, very solid. A little smaller than its sister product, the round leather Tsuba. Because leather is a "living" material, each Tsuba is unique, specially in its color.

Camellia Oil - Tsubaki abura
Made in Japan (Isu Islands)
Ingredient: 100% Tsubaki Oil
Size: 70 mL (2,3 oz) / 118 mL (3.9 oz) / 1 L (33.8 oz) / 1.8 L (60.9 oz)
This oil has been produced on the island of Toshima (Isu Shoto), off Tokyo, for more than a century. It is used by many Japanese wood workers as well as specialists in ancient blade (shinken) who are looking for a more stable oil than the Choji oil.
The 70 and 118 mL are conditionned in glass bottles. 1 and 1.8 L are conditionned in metal cans. Cans are not available in stock and require about a week before shipping.
Treatment with Camellia oil is recommended by the craftsmen who make our wooden weapons. The regular oiling is necessary for unvarnished weapons. It is recommended also for the maintenance of Iaito and Shinken.
Utilization on wooden weapons:
Once every 2 months in the wet season, 2 times per month during dry season. For a better preservation of your weapons, it is advisable to carefully rub them with a dry cloth after each use. When you apply the oil, clean the wood surface by rubbing vigorously with a dry cloth, then apply the oil in a thin layer directly with the hand. Allow to dry.
If your weapons are not painted it will not be necessary to sand, but if they are, sanding will help the wood to absorb more oil.
Note that this Camelia oil is initialy intended for skin and hair care. We've selected this oil for it's unmatched quality: 100% pure camelia oil, no additive, cold pressed, cosmetic grade, almost odorless, and halal certified.
Prices vary depending on selected options.

Deluxe Bokken, Jo & Tanto Set - Red Oak / White Oak
Made in Japan (Kyushu)
Available in red or white oak.This set includes a top quality classic bokken (red or white oak), a classic jo (2 choices of diameters), and a classic tanto. Each weapon is made from a single piece of wood from the southern islands of Kyushu (Japan). Ideal for the beginner as well as advanced practitioners, this set is the classic catalog.
The red oak model is made of high-quality "Akagashi". White oak is more thoroughly selected, notably more dense (and darker) than the standard models.
The standard thickness of a Jo is 24 mm (8 BU) and the 27 mm, and 30 mm models are designed to work tanren (reinforcement), which is very important in some Aikido schools. The 27 mm model is very strong, which also makes it a great Jo practice with very violent contacts.
- Choice of wood species: red oak, white oak.
- Contains: Deluxe Bokken, Classic Jo and Deluxe Tanto.
- Jo Diameter: 24 mm (8bu), 27 mm (9bu).
- Available finish: Standard Finish or Seido Special Finish
- Manufacturing workshop: Aramaki
Finish options:
In 2021, with concerns for the workers, all workshops greatly reduced the number of urethane-varnished weapons and replaced the finish with "Candle Wax". Seido is now transitioning to a new finish offer for the majority of its weapons.
Standard Finish: 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 maintenance, we recommend that you oil your weapons about once a month with a vegetal-based oil.Seido Special Finish: For this special Finish, we first apply a Camelia oil polish (oiling and sanding the weapons with oiled sandpaper), then we finish the weapon with high-quality beeswax. This finish makes the wood as smooth as it can be and guarantees excellent protection for several months.
For maintenance, we recommend at least oiling your weapons every month or so. You can also apply wax a few hours after oiling your weapons (if some oil remains on the wood, remove it with a piece of cloth or tissue).Bokken, Jo & Tanto Deluxe - Specifications Dimensions Deluxe Bokken Deluxe Jo Deluxe Tanto Full length: 101.5 cm 127.6 cm 29 cm Blade length: 75.5 cm - 19.5 cm Tsuka length: 26 cm - 9.5 cm Tsuka diameter: 37 x 26 mm 24, 27 mm 35 x 24 mm Tsukagashira: Hanmaru (roundet butt) - Hanmaru (roundet butt) Kissaki: Daikissaki (long) - Shokissaki (short) Mine: Kenmine (chevroned) - Hiramine (flat) Weight - Akagashi: 480 ~ 580 g 8bu > 450 ~ 550 g
