Deluxe 5 or 6 Shaku Bo (151 or 182 cm) - White Oak
5 and 6 Shaku Deluxe Bo
Made in Japan (Kyushu region)
Available woods:Â White Oak
Lenght: 5 Shaku (151.5 cm) or 6 Shaku (181.8 cm, White Oak Only)
Diameter: 30 mm (1 sun).
Finish: Standard Finish or Seido Special Finish
This classic Bo is available in Shirakashi (white oak), unvarnished (oil polishing).
The white oak models will sustain violent contact during practice.
In Aikido, the Bo was used by the founder Morihei Ueshiba to demonstrate some of the principles of Aikido. Morihei Ueshiba was also trained in "Bo Jutsu", and taught its principles to Hikitsuchi Michio Sensei: as a consequence, it is now mainly used in Hikitsuchi sensei's line.
- Choice of wood species: white oak
- Diameter: 30 mm (1 sun).
- Available Finish: Standard Finish or Seido Special Finish
-
Manufacturing workshop: Aramaki
- BO CAN ONLY BE SHIPPED THROUGH UPS/FEDEX (Includes Asia, North America, and Europe). For other countries, please contact us prior to placing your order.
Finish options:
In 2021, with concerns for the workers, all workshops greatly reduced the number of urethane-varnished weapons and replaced the finish with "Candle Wax". Seido is now transitioning to a new finish offer for the majority of its weapons.
Standard Finish: At Seido, we complete the workshop finish with Camelia oil treatment by default. This is the standard Seido finish.
We do not apply any additional polishing for this finish, so some weapons might have a slightly rough surface.
For maintenance, we recommend that you oil your weapons about once a month with a vegetal-based oil.
Seido Special Finish: For this special Finish, we first apply a Camelia oil polish (oiling and sanding the weapons with oiled sandpaper), then we finish the weapon with high-quality beeswax. This finish makes the wood as smooth as it can be and guarantees excellent protection for several months.
For maintenance, we recommend at least oiling your weapons every month or so. You can also apply wax a few hours after oiling your weapons (if some oil remains on the wood, remove it with a piece of cloth or tissue).

*Weapons are all handmade, therefore color and weight can vary slightly
Disclaimer
We rigidly sort through all our in stock products, selecting and finally selling only what meets our standards. Of all the wooden weapons we receive, 10 to 15% are eliminated and mostly destroyed. We are proud of the fact that our quality control is the strictest on the market.
However, we cannot offer such a sorting for custom made products and those can therefore show minor flaws like a slight curvature, particularly on the 24 mm and 27 mm Bo.
