Extremely Difficult to Obtain! 【Miyazaki Prefecture Miyakonojo Workshop Highest Grade Hon-Akagashi Bokken (Wooden Sword)】 Compared to Hon-Biwa, which prioritizes flexibility and is relatively light among the materials used for practical bokken, Hon-Akagashi is considered the best material when considering the balance of weight, strength, and flexibility. The Akagashi bokken currently sold are made of a substitute material called Ichiigashi. To distinguish it from Ichiigashi, genuine Akagashi is referred to as "Hon-Akagashi" (True Akagashi). Currently, the raw wood of Hon-Akagashi is extremely rare and hardly circulates in the market. Naturally, it is very difficult to obtain a bokken made of Hon-Akagashi. Due to the lack of raw wood, it will become increasingly difficult to obtain in the future, making its rarity extremely high. Furthermore, aside from the raw wood issue, inexpensive products manufactured overseas have recently become available. However, this item is produced in a workshop in Miyakonojo City, Miyazaki Prefecture, where traditional craftsmen are present, resulting in high production quality and the use of the highest quality Hon-Akagashi. This item is made of high-quality Hon-Akagashi without any bending or warping, and the quality is different from Hon-Akagashi products that occasionally appear in recent years. ・Length: Approximately 102cm (slight variations may occur) ・No bending, and the balance is excellent. ・The bokken itself has not been touched as it is covered with shrink film. ・Comes with a seal from the Miyakonojo workshop. ・Weight: Approximately 565g (due to natural materials, it may vary slightly depending on the season and humidity)
