Advice from the Masamune Team :
- Our bokken are made by artisans, so it is necessary to adapt the Tsuba that are machine made.
- To do this, use a small file with small swivel movements inside the Tsuba until it rests without forcing the demarcation of your Bokken.
- The Tsuba is held on your Bokken by the impact-absorbing rubber Tsubadome .
- A Tsuba PVC that forces on the bokken may not perform its protective role and may break quickly.
