About Our Wooden Weapons Sets

The wooden weapons proposed by Seido are manufactured by one of the last four traditional workshop in the south of Japan, in the region of Miyakonojo (Kyushu), Horinouchi, Nidome, Matsuzaki and Aramaki (learn more about the workshops on our Artisans Presentation Page). Seido is the only company in the world (including Japan) working with these 4 workshops simultaneously. Our weapons are selected according to the specialties of each workshop, the time of manufacture as well as the pricing. If you have got a preference for a particular workshop, please contact us for quotation.

In this section, we will present a series of Bokken, Jo, and Tanto sets, as well as Koryu sets (Bokken + Shoto or "Daisho sets"). Just like for our individual weapons, these sets are available in different woods such as red and white oak, Isu no Ki, Sunuke, etc. You can refer to the page "How to Choose Your Bokken/Wood" or to our extensive blog article How to Choose your Bokken – Case Studies & Advice to help you make your choice. All Bokken can be engraved directly in our facilities within a few days.

In 2021, with concerns for the workers, all workshops greatly reduced the number of urethane varnished weapons with a natural finish. Seido is now transitioning to a new finish offer for the majority of its weapons, which consist in a either camellia oil treatment (standard finish) or a camellia oil with extra polishing + bee wax finish (Seido special finish). Until all stocks for varnish weapons run out, varnish finish is still offered on some weapons. (edited)
