Although the word Bokken is widely the most used outside Japan to refer to the wooden sword used in martial arts, in Japanese the more correct term is Bokutō (lit. "wooden katana"). Exactly as with the term Samurai, which is commonly used outside Japan but which the Japanese generally prefer the term Bushi for.
The term Bokken, from the Japanese point of view, actually refers to a generic sword of any shape, not necessarily similar to the katana; compared to bokutō, the term bokken is therefore more generic as it could refer to both a katana and any other type of sword.
Finally, depending on the school, the bokutō can take different shapes and sizes; for example, the Niten Ichiryu uses thin swords, with very little curvature and without a tsuba.
It is mainly used in the training of martial arts that involve the use of the sword: in Kendō, in particular, it is used for the execution of the ten kata.
IAIDO: belongs to the disciplines of traditional Japanese Budo such as Kendo, Jodo, and Naginata.
AIKIDO: Japanese martial art practiced both unarmed and with traditional Japanese Budō bladed weapons, mainly: "ken" (sword), "jō" (staff), and "tantō" (dagger).
KOBUDO: generally refers to the traditional martial arts used on the island of Okinawa and is characterized by the use of a large number of traditional weapons, mostly of peasant origin.
KENDO: Japanese martial art, a form of budō and a combat sport that derives from the evolution of combat techniques with the katana.
