Product Information & Size Chart

  • 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.

    Makes maintenance a real joy!

    Wonderful oil, doesn't leave the surface oily or sticky, and it doesn't leave or have a scent. Absorbs quickly into the wood. Very clean and well-made!

    Magic Oil

    I've tried many types of wood finishes. This camellia oil is hands down the best I've come across. Good grip when I need to grip, slides smoothly when I need to slide, even with sweaty hands.

    A good product

    The product is great, but importing the oil to my country was complicated due to registration issues, but it was solved.

    Super fast shipping to USA; Extremely well packaged; Great oil!

    I ordered 2 of the larger bottles of Camellia Oil on the morning of May 10, 2021. They arrived, from Japan, May 12th! USPS can't get a letter across town in that time! They were extremely well packaged - each bottle was individually wrapped in bubble-wrap and placed in is own box, each box was individually wrapped in bubble-wrap. The two boxes were wrapped in bubble-wrap and placed in a shipping box that was totally sealed with packing tape. I used the oil on some unfinished Jo and Bokken. The oil is very quickly absorbed into the wood, takes about 20 minutes. It is not sticky and does not smell. I've applied the oil several times to the Jo and Bokken. Great stuff!
