Katana 101 Part 7

Now for the last and hopefully not the least of my 1:1 katana scale collection is my jigoku shoujo boken. Boken is the wooden sword used mostly by the samurai for training. And its also use nowdays in kendo.



Im not sure how come this boken is themed after Jigoku Shoujo but I guess from this sakura flower painted at the blade area.

Not much of a background I have there but what the heck. The lenght of the boken is similar to my sasuke's katana length. This boken is not like my other katana, this is the actual boken used in kendo. Its quite heavy and hard.


So thats it for my 1:1 katana collection. Next will be .... So stay tune to find out.
