bokken
A ''bokken'' (, ''bok(u)'', "wood", and ''ken'', "sword") (or a ''bokutō'' , as they are instead called in Japan) is a Japanese wooden sword used for training. It is usually the size and shape of a ''katana'', but is sometimes shaped like other swords, such as the ''wakizashi'' and ''tantō''. Some ornamental bokken are decorated with mother-of-pearl work and elaborate carvings.
''Bokken'' should not be confused with ''shinai'', practice swords made of flexible bamboo.
==History==
''Bokken'' were designed to lessen the damage caused by fighting with real swords and were used for the training of samurai warriors in feudal Japan. Bokken eventually became lethal weapons themselves in the hands of trained experts.
Miyamoto Musashi, a kenjutsu master, was renowned for fighting fully armed foes with only one or two bokken. In a famous legend, he defeated Sasaki Kojiro with a bokken he had carved from an oar while traveling on a boat to the predetermined island for the duel.
