A wooden Japanese sword used for training, usually the size and shape of a katana, but sometimes shaped like other swords, such as the wakizashi and tanto. Bokken is a term synonymous with bokutō in Japan, but is more widely used in the west.
Traditionally, the character Ken is used at the beginning of a word, for terms having to do with the sword, for example in Kendō (way of the sword) and Kenjutsu (art of the sword). In contrast, tō is used primarily as a suffix, for example, in shōtō (short sword) and daitō (long sword). Thus, in Japan, the word bokuto (wood sword) is more commonly used.

Get the Bokuto mug.(Boo-tahn) noun,verb.: deceiver, liar, prankster, a person who refers to past personal experiences of other people as their own. A Bouton is a clever and mischievous person who offers strong knowledge on a wide range of subject matter with having little to no knowledge of actual importance. Often disguised in tactical gear, because a Bouton is always ready, they are normally seen entering conversations in a military style forward dive roll(without actual training) followed up with inane chatter and useless facts. When encountering a Bouton, one should always be careful not to give too much information as to the topic being discussed, as feeding information to a Bouton is what they survive on. Any recognition that a Bouton exists is a good way to see one come back again, and again. Bouton's are often seen with a high sense of self importance, though it has not been proven. If a Bouton has been spotted, it is good to take notice of it purely for observational studies and field notes. Encountering a Bouton can be extremely dangerous as Boutons are often equipped with a dive knife for shark defense.

Get the Bouton mug.A pigeon poop boutonniere is what you're likely to get from sitting on the church steps while waiting for the service to begin. Church steeples and belfries are notorious pigeon roosts. A pigeon aroused from its roost is unlikely to control its bowels and routinely poops to shed unnecessary take-off weight.
