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.

Jiki Shinkage Ryu (Naginata Yo) Bokken - Isu-Shin - Sunuke
Made in Japan (Kyushu)
Flat Spine | Rounded butt | Small Kissaki
Isu-Shin and Sunuke available
The Bokken Jiki Shinkage Naginata Yo (thin) is manufactured from a single piece of wood: Isu-Shin or Sunuke. Designed for the school Jiki Shinkage to practice Bokken against Naginata (halberd) techniques, this model is also used in certain Aikido schools, mentioning especially the late master Tamura, or Leo Tamaki in France. Also, the founder of Aikido, Morihei Ueshiba, seemed to have used a similar Bokken to this one (thin and almost without curvature).
Be careful! : This model differs from the very thick "Jiki Shinkage Hojo Bokken", created for the strong impacts of Hojo Kata and for Suburi.
Isu-Shin and Sunuke are heavy woods used to make weapons for power work and must be used with caution, recommended for experienced practitioners only. Sunuke and Isu-Shin can cause severe damage upon contact, but on the other hand, are less resilient and break more easily than oak. Therefore, these exotic timber models are not recommended for contact practice.
- Choice of wood species: Isu-Shin, Sunuke
- Manufacturing workshop: Aramaki's Workshop for all models
Non-varnished - Oil polish Finish
All our high-end bokken are offered non-varnished (camellia oil polish finish). Note that unvarnished weapons are much more pleasant to the touch as well as usage. Unvarnished weapons are more ecologically-friendly, but they require regular (monthly) maintenance with oil (camellia or wood maintenance oil) and they can only be made from the finest, Japanese quality woods. Given the need for maintenance of these weapons, our stocks are limited.

About Jiki Shinkage Ryu Naginata:
The Kashima Shinden Jikishinkage Ryu evolved from the Shinkage Ryu and the Kage Ryu, which both have disappeared. Its beginnings are situated in the 16th century and attributed to Matsumoto Bizen No Kami Naokatsu.
But the Naginata version is much more recent. Developed in the late 19th century by Satake Yoshinori, a former Jiki Shinkage Ryu student and his wife Satake Shigeo. An emphasis is placed on preserving the Kata in its original form and leaves very little room for improvisation. This art was rapidly introduced into girl's schools, which explains why most practitioners are, still today, women. Jiki Shinkage Ryu Naginata became famous after the victory of several well-known teachers over Kendo practitioners, but the school does no longer focus on competition.
