Product Information & Size Chart

  • Rigid Leather Tsuba for Classic & Deluxe Bokken

    Material: cow leather
    Tsubadome (rubber ring) optional (white or brown).
    Size: ~9 cm (~7 mm thick)

    Round tsuba made of thick leather for classic Bokken. Leather is a natural, "living" material, slight differences in the shape of the tsuba and its color are possible. The emphasis is not placed on the appearance but it is an excellent model to effectively protect your hands! 

    This round leather tsuba is designed for thick-bladed traditional (Koryu) wooden swords.

    By adjusting the hole yourself (by carefully shaving it), it can be used with swords such as the Keishi Ryu Bokken, Iwama Ryu Bokken, Jiki Shinkage Ryu (Naginata Yo) Bokken, and Ono-ha Itto-ryu Shoto and Bokken.

    Due to the handmade nature of wooden swords, thickness may vary slightly depending on the craftsman's finishing. On the other hand, regardless of the material of the tsuba, whether plastic or leather, each tsuba hole is designed to be slightly smaller, as a larger hole could cause the tsuba to come off during practice. Depending on the wooden sword you pair it with, you may need to adjust the tsuba hole by shaving it down yourself. If you have any concerns about tsuba size or tsuba hole adjustment, please feel free to contact us via email.

    Tsubadome are available as an option.

    This Tsuba cannot be fitted on thin Koryu Bokken (Yagyu, Yagyu Shinkage, Niten Ichi Ryu, etc.). 

    Please note that the Tsuba is shipped in its original shape and we cannot adjust the tsuba hole to your weapon.
    Please note that we cannot fit a Tsuba to weapons without a demarcation line (Tsubanashi) on our side.

    Excellent quality and durability

    Have been using these on my Ono-Ha Itto Ryu bokken for more than a year, now - they've held up perfectly under intense, full-contact practice. I (reluctantly and cautiously) use the water-soak approach to expand and tighten the tsuba onto my bokken (using a homemade press kit to keep the tsuba flat and smooth)... this results in even pressure and contact across the tsuba, so strikes are absorbed without cracking it. The tsubadome becomes superfluous - I still use one, but the fit is perfect; the tsuba isn't going anywhere.

    Poorly fitted.

    What you see in the product picture isn't what you get. The picture shows a tsuba with a teardrop shaped opening. One that is similar to the actual bokken shape. What I received was a tsuba that had a more rectangular opening that only made contact with the bokken on the mune and ha sides. Leaving the tsuba very loose, and alot of wiggle room. Possibly putting the hand in danger of being injured.

    You have ordered the 'Onoha' version, and the Onoha Bokken has a rounded shape.
    The opening is, therefore, adapted to our Onoha Bokken, as specified in the product description.
    This is what has been answered to your earlier email, and it seems that the issue is not that the Tsuba is poorly fitted, but that you actually ordered the wrong model.
    To receive the standard shape hole, you want to order the standard option, as specified in the product description.

    For compliance reasons, reviews placed in French and Japanese and imported here on February 2024 do not display as 'verified'.
    When importing Japanese reviews, the impossibility to automatically determine the presence of a familly name forced us to label all Japanese reviews as 'anonymous' (Familly names in roman characters have been filtered out).
