Our Bokken made of chestnut wood in the Itto-Ryu shape is a particularly fine bokken for your martial arts. The Bokken has a heel for a tsuba. You can find the matching tsuba made of buffalo leather in the section: Bokken accessories. The wood of the sweet chestnut is quite dense and hard and has good elasticity.
In medicine, sweet chestnuts are considered trees with healing powers that give comfort, encourage and support transformative processes. Sweet chestnuts were seen in China as the home of the earth gods of the West. In Christian symbolism they stand for goodness and chastity and in Celtic mythology the chestnut stands for people who are the cornerstones of the community.
