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.

Classic Hanbo - 3 Shaku
Made in Japan (Kyushu region)
Available woods: Red Oad, White Oak & Isu no Ki
Length: 3 shaku (90.9 cm) | Diameter: 24 mm, 27 mm or 30 mm.
Finish : urethane coating or oil polishing
This classic Hanbo is available in Ichiikashi (red oak), Shirakashi (white oak) or Isu No Ki, either varnished or unvarnished (oil polishing). The standard length is 3 shaku (90.9 cm), with 3 different diameters to chose from.
Although it is not conventionally used in Aikido, the Hanbo is however an excellent tool for training on shomen or yokomen strikes from a mid-distance. It is therefore widely used in self-defense oriented Aikido classes.
The standard thickness is 24 mm (8 bu), but the 27 and 30 mm models are designed to work on tanren (reinforcement). The 27 mm model is very strong, which also makes it a great Hanbo practice with very violent contacts.
While the red and white oak models will sustain violent contacts during practice, the Isu No Ki is slightly less resistant and will therefore not be suited for practice with full power. The Isu no Ki remains a relatively light wood and will suit practitioners seeking an original, purely Japanese wood.
- Choice of wood species: red oak, white oak, Isu no ki.
- Diameter: 24 mm (8bu), 27 mm (9bu) or 30 mm (1 sun). (Isu > 24 mm only)
- Available finish: Urethane varnish or camellia oil polish.
- Manufacturing workshop: Horinouchi, Aramaki or Nidome
Non varnished - Oil polish option:
Urethane varnish is the "classic" finish for wooden weapons. This varnish protects the wood from moisture or drought, but touch is less pleasant than that of unvarnished weapons. When wood is not varnished, it is necessary to treat regularly (every two months on average) with oil (camellia or walnut oil or linseed oil). Unvarnished weapons are meticulously polished with a fine grain sandpaper, which in addition to the oiling work done by our team before shipping, justifies the extra charge. Only quality weapons can withstand a Japanese oil finish instead of varnishing. This is the finish we recommend to the most demanding practitioners.
