We work closely with the Aramaki Workshop of ,Miyakonojo Kyushu - Japan, who specialize in the craft of making traditional Japanese weapons from wood. All of their creations use locally sourced materials and they work closely with the curators of the various ryu-ha of Japan's martial arts both modern and traditional (koryu bujutsu). As such, these are some of the finest and most authentic examples of traditional Japanese weaponry available. These kata naginata are specifically for use in kata-geiko and naginata engi competitions.   Dimensions Length：7 Shaku（Approx. 213cm)Blade Length：Approx. 50cmHandle Length：Approx. 163cm ----------------------------------------------------------- This white Oak Naginata is completely untreated. For a 'how to' guide on waxing wooden weapons, please check out our walk-through video, "How to wax bokken."
