Weapon Engraving Services

Available fonts (style) 4 Japanese fonts, 3 English fonts
Depth The stronger the laser, the deeper the engraving. Superficial is quite discreet, standard is deep enough to stand forever, deep can go up to 1 mm depth and creates a burning effect within the engraving.
Free transcriptions You can write your name in English and select a "Japanese" font, in which case we will take care of the transcription. Note that several translations exist for the same name and that we cannot accept claims. (Please use the text field to add a comment if the pronunciation is unusual. If you already have a translation, please attach a picture). We do not translate expressions or initials, only names or words. Requests for expressions translations will be ignored and refunded. Please also note that initials cannot be translated into Japanese. Consequently, they will always be engraved in English.
Number of engravings You can order a maximum of 3 engravings per weapon from this page. The modules N1, N2, and N3 correspond to the engravings Number 1, number 2, and number 3. These modules are identical and you can add them in the order you wish. Of course, we cannot engrave twice in the same place, so please pay attention to the chosen positions.
For more than 3 engravings, please contact us prior to placing your order.
Limitations We engrave in Japanese and English only (no Chinese, Korean, etc.) For any special request (logo/design), contact us prior to your order. (Undiscussed demands will be ignored).

    Standard Plastic Tsuba

    Material: PVC
    Tsubadome (rubber ring) optional (white or brown).
    Size: ~7.8 cm x ~6 mm

    Basic brown plastic tsuba, a guard that will protect your hands during full contact practice, which is fixed on your bokken with a rubber ring.
    This plastic Tsuba is the only made in Japan plastic Tsuba designed for classic Bokken on the market and only exists in brown color.

    It will fit on all standard and high-end bokken, with or without groove, and on chuto (short bokken) and shoto (wakizashi), but might require a little filing depending on the exact shape of the blade (particularly at the mine).
    Please make sure you select the correct size as the hole is slightly smaller for Shoto size. The M (Chuto) size can still be recut for a Bokken, but a Bokken Tsuba will be too large for a Chuto.

    Rigid Leather Tsuba for Bokken and Shoto

    Material: cow leather
    Tsubadome (rubber ring) optional (white or brown).
    Size: ~7.6 cm x ~7 mm

    Thick leather Tsuba, very solid. A little smaller than its sister product, the round leather Tsuba. Because leather is a "living" material, each Tsuba is unique, specially in its color. The emphasis is not placed on its appearance but this kind of Tsuba is an excellent model to effectively protect your hands!

    It will fit on all standard and high-end bokken, with or without groove, and on chuto (short bokken) and shoto (wakizashi), but might require a little filing depending on the exact shape of the blade (particularly at the mine). Please make sure you select the correct size as the hole is slightly smaller for Shoto size. The M (Shoto/Chuto) size can still be recut for a Bokken, but a Bokken Tsuba will be too large for a Shoto.
    In addition, note that this Tsuba cannot be fitted on a thin Bokken (Yagyu, Yagyu Shinkage, Niten Ichi Ryu, etc.)

    Please note that the Tsuba is shipped in its original shape. If you would like the Tsuba to be fitted with a particular weapon in your order, please specify it via the comment box of the shopping cart page. We will only fit the Tsuba on Standard and Deluxe models, not on Koryu Bokken.

    Rigid Leather Tsuba for 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 is the model we recommend to practitioners looking for a big leather Tsuba to fit a standard/deluxe Bokken or a thick koryu bokken. This round tsuba is the largest of our catalog and the center hole is cut either for Standard/Deluxe Bokken or for the Onoha Itto Ryu Bokken. It can be recut on the inside to be adapted to the Keishi Ryu Bokken, the Iwama Ryu and Takemusu Bokken as well as the Hokushin Itto Ryu or the Jigen Ryu Bokken.

    This Tsuba cannot be fitted on thin Koryu Bokken (Yagyu, Yagyu Shinkage, Niten Ichi Ryu, etc.). 
    Onoha Itto Ryu Shoto must be fitted from the standard hole size (Onoha hole size is adapted for the Bokken). 

    Please note that the Tsuba is shipped in its original shape. If you would like the Tsuba to be fitted with a particular weapon in your order, please specify it via the comment box of the shopping cart page.

    Product Information & Size Chart

    • Standard Chuto 91.5 cm - White Oak

      Made in Japan (Kyushu)
      Flat Spine | Flat butt | Small Kissaki
      White Oak

      The standard model is available in white oak. It is characterized by a simple and basic finish, flat tsukagashira, hiramine, and shokissaki. This standard version does not undergo particular selection.

      Bokken are divided into two categories: The "Daito" (standard length Bokken) and the "Chuto" (slightly shortened Bokken). The Chuto Bokken are used in certain schools specifically for practice regarding distance, in Aikido they are mainly for children. The Chuto Bokken is 10 cm shorter than the standard model and this makes it the perfect weapon for children smaller than 150 cm. Because they are not supposed to practice heavy contact techniques, we do not offer a tsuba for this model. The standard tsuba sold individually are adaptable but remain loose.

      • Choice of wood species: white oak
      • Finish: Camellia oil polish
      • Manufacturing workshop: Aramaki

      For this model, we complete the workshop finish with Camelia oil treatment by default. This is the standard Seido finish.
      We do not apply any additional polishing for this finish, so some weapons might have a slightly rough surface.
      For a higher quality finish, please consider our deluxe models, which are available with our "Seido Special Finish".
      For maintenance, we recommend that you oil your weapons about once a month with a vegetal-based oil.

      For my lil bro Jack

      Bought this as a gift for my little brother Jack. He really liked my Bokken but mine is a low quality one. I wanted to get him an authentic Bokken and I'm glad I did. This Bokken is an amazing piece and just gripping it you can feel the difference. I know he will love it. ありがたや

      Standard Chuto Bokken

      Ordered two Bokkens in white oak for my 6 and 8 year old children. These Bokken were ordered and delivered within a week. Excellent Service and the Bokken are of excellent quality. I have previously purchased Bokkens in the UK but they have been too heavy for the children to manage especially for my 6 year old daughter who is very tiny. These Bokkens are of the same quality but are half the weight. I would definitely recommend these Bokkens. Also had the names engraved too which the children are highly delighted with. Will definitely be purchasing from this company again in the future. A*
