It should be noted that the Plastiktsuba is not custom made for each Bokken and therefore once a little firmer, then again a little more relaxed or can sit perfectly.Įvery wood has its own history and so no wood product is like another, even if it comes from the same region, from the same place, even from the same tree. The plastic Tsuba can simply be putted on the Bokken and is then held by means of a rubber ring also included. Whether during training the supplied plastic tsuba is used or not remains up to personal preference. In contrast to the short sword, this is the longer version (Daito = big sword).
