Jiki Shinkage Ryu Tanto - Sunuke / Tsubaki
Made in Japan (Kyushu)
Flat Spine | Rounded butt | Short Kissaki
Sunuke or Camellia (Tsubaki) available
Used primarily in the school Jiki Shinkage to practice techniques against Naginata, this Tanto, also classified as Shoto (Wakizashi) by the Jiki Shinkage Ryu, is made of single piece of wood: Sunuke or Tsubaki. The relatively long, thin and pointed shape allows to keep it almost as light as a standard Tanto, ensuring a fast and easy handling.
The Tanto Jiki Shinkage Ryu is 7 cm longer than the standard model used in Aikido, and therefore a great instrument to do Tanto Dori with heightened attention, while being an excellent educational tool for teachers. This Tanto is used by several schools, including the Kishinkai in France.
- Choice of wood species: Sunuke or Camellia
- Manufacturing workshop: Aramaki for all models
Non varnished - Oil polish
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 requires 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. Also, since the craftsmen must select the best wood possible to manufacture these weapons, the processing time is longer than for varnished weapons. If engraved, out of stock, or made to order, the shipping time can take up to 6 weeks in case of shortage.

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 whife 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.
