Q_: What wood do you make tsuka with?

R_: Our tsuka are made with oak or beech if we have to win weigh without sacrifice the hardness.

Q_: If I don't buy my koshirae in your shop, will you accept to make my katana tsuka with this fuchi/ kashira set?

R_: Of course, we will! We don't care whether you buy your set in our store or not, it is important to us that you may be happy with the katana as you want.

Q_: Should I send my blade for you make the tsuka?

R_: Yes you should. Indeed, it is preferable to work directly from nakago; work will be even more precise. The katana will be back up and adjusted properly packaged to avoid any shock due to transport.

Q_: What size for my tsuka?

R_: The tsuka lengh, for modern katana, is essentially defined by the purpose for which they are intended. A sword for cutting, you should use a tsuka long enough (from 28 cm) with a lever arm increases. A katana for Iaido is equipped with a tsuka average of 24 to 28 cm, adjustable depending on the morphology of the practitioner.
