Shuriken

June 2012
 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
