Jo Sunuke 8 Bu - Japanese wooden stick

Weight : approx. 500g

Length : approx. 128cm

Diameter : 24mm

Jo literally means "stick" and 8Bu corresponds to 24mm in an old Japanese unit.

Suitable for aikido practice.

It is a standard Jo in terms of length, weight and diameter. On the other hand, the wood used for its manufacture - SUNUKE - is very rare. It is the central part of a tree called Distylium racemosum of about 300 years old. Each tree has a different color.

These jo are made in Kyushu (the southern part of Japan ) by NIIDOME Bokuto Seisakujo at Miyakonojo. This company keeps the traditional way of manufacture, such as drying the materials (wood) naturally not to destroy the fibers; therefore our Jo are solid and robust and can be used for a long time.
