手裏剣

At Budoya we are trying to create the largest collection of authentic shuriken designs.

Each year we travel to Japan, while we are there we meet and discuss shuriken designs with members of various Ryuha that use shuriken and try to get access to shuriken so that we can make exact copies. We also buy books with shuriken in them and also contact people who have collections who are willing to share information and knowledge to help us expand the catalogue of shuriken. This catalogue is an on going work in progress with new designs already prepared for production. We aim to release at least 5 more in 2012. The shuriken are displayed in this catalogue so that you can see them as best as is possible. The photos do not represent the respective sizes. As you can see from the sample photo below some shuriken come is a wide variety of sizes.

We do our best to get these items to you as quick as possible and are will to talk with our customers to meet their needs
