Asian ebony grows primarily in Southeast Asia, especially in Indonesia. This wood is renowned for:

• The beauty of its grain, smooth texture, and natural, luxurious color
• Its exceptional strength and density

However, the fibers of ebony are not as robust as those of white oak, making this wood fragile and not recommended for direct contact with other bokuto.

Thanks to its hardness, elasticity, and weight, this bokuto is an excellent choice for practicing Suburi.

Belonging to the premium range, this model is crafted with exceptional care and a rigorous selection of wood pieces, ensuring both aesthetic and functional quality.

Made in Japan.
