Niten Ichi Ryu was originally developed by Miyamoto Musashi, however nowadays, there are some branches from the original Ryuha. There are a few misunderstanding about Musashi. Many books mention that he was a very strong (power) person, otherwise he would not be able to swing the sword with only one hand. However, this is a misinterpretation of how to use the sword, as the sword is a heavy object, the best way to cut the opponent is by using the weight of the sword itself. By doing that, you can avoid using extra power from your arms, and you can develop a smooth cut. Also, in real combat, there is no need to cut the opponent in half, but by cutting the vital points, that would give a fatal damage to the opponent. By doing so, it is very possible for Musashi to have used one sword in each hand, and still fight against many opponents. In Niten Ichi Ryu, all the motions are based on utilizing the weight of the sword, which is called Kissaki Kaeshi. This is also written on the Gorin No Sho (Books of the Five Rings). The Niten Ichi Ryu Bokuto is shaved thinner than the normal Bokuto, in order to practice releasing the extra power from the arms, and be able to learn the correct Kissaki Kaeshi techniques. This Bokuto is made with the highest grade of white oak, with a thin layer of varnish finish, in order to give a long lasting shine. The price is for the Set (Daito and Shoto). Approximate Lenght: Daito - 101.5cm(40in)/Shoto - 64cm(25in) Approximate weight: Daito - 444g(15.6 oz)/Shoto - 247g (8.7 oz)

5 of 5 Beautiful December 7, 2023
Reviewer: Heath Waterman  
These are the first regular bokuto I have ordered (the others were the super heavy).  Absolutely wonderful balance and feel to them.  Needed the shoto for kata, but the daito has become my new favorite warm up bokuto.

5 of 5 A Pleasant Surprise December 29, 2022
Reviewer: Chris deMonch from Philadelphia, PA United States  
I've long been a fan of e-bogu, feeling that for the money they've always been decent and the customer service has always been top notch. However, one area I'd always been hesitant to give them good marks was in their bokuto. A decade ago I'd ordered this very set, but when it arrived the quality was somewhat lacking.
Cut to earlier this year and I was fortunate enough to actually begin training in Niten Ichi Ryu. However, I discovered to my dismay that in recent years the geometry had changed slightly and I had a great deal of difficulty finding a source that still had the geometry I was used to. After a while I figured I'd give e-bogu a try again, figuring "what the hey, it's been 10 years."
Well I'm glad I did. They arrived today and I'm floored at the difference between what I've received and what I got 10 years ago. The craftsmanship has come miles since then, the balance is very good, and the grain much tighter. Excellent job all around!
