Therefore, we are currently not able to guarantee the displayed shipping date estimation for this product and variations in both direction (shipping earlier than announced or slight delays) are to be expected.

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.

Deluxe Round Nunchaku - Red or White Oak
Made in Japan (Kyushu)
Red Oak or White Oak available
With cord or chain
Available in 30 cm, 33 cm and 36 cmThis Marugata (round) Nunchaku is made of Japanese red oak or white oak. The round Nunchaku is quite rare in Japanese Kobudo and is more often associated to Chinese martial arts. Nonetheless, it is used in some Okinawan Kobudo, and therefore produced in Japan as well.
It is designed for intense Kobudo and Karate training.
According to the different school standards, the length of Japanese traditional Nunchaku is usually between 30 cm and 36 cm, so this model is available in 3 different sizes.- Choice of wood species: red oak or white oak
- Available finish: Urethane varnish or camellia oil polish
- Manufacturing workshop: Aramaki for all models
Non varnished - Oil polish option:
All our high-end weapons are available either varnished with urethane or polished with camellia oil. The latter is more pleasant to the touch and these unvarnished weapons are also more ecologically-friendly, but they require regular (monthly) maintenance with oil (camellia or wood maintenance oil). Further, they can only be made from the finest timber of Japanese quality. Given the need for maintenance, our stocks are limited. Also, since the craftsmen must select the best wood possible to manufacture these Bokken and Jo, the processing time is longer than for varnished weapons. Please note that the oil polish can darken the wood significantly.

Nunchaku Order Disclaimer
Nunchaku can be considered as weapons in some countries. Although, by experience, we know there is no problem with North America and most European countries, we recommend checking that the import of Nunchaku is not prohibited in your country before placing your order.
Nunchaku are made to order and Seido shall not be held responsible for any difficulties, import refusal or other trouble at customs clearance. In the event of this occurring, only limited refunds (depending on the level of customization) can be granted.

If you wish to purchase other products at the same time and use PayPal, we recommend to order the Nunchaku or Tonfa separately. We can still ship all items together if the orders are placed within a few hours and a comment is added in the comment field. -
