Tsuba - a protective element for wooden bokken made of wood, designed to protect the hand from the opponent's hitting the blade. Made in the classical Japanese form in the form of a four-leaf petal. Can also be used with plastic saya. In some Japanese schools fencing tsuba is an integral part of the bokken. It is clamped in front with a rubber stopper.
