Description

Selected Japanese Madake Kotogata Shinai.
Tessho is a Kotogata (straight body type) with custom grip diameter (between 26mm to 30mm) and the option to select between standard or Tsukatan (The Do or bigger protuberance above the grip on the bamboo is lowered), exclusively crafted for men (available in 39 size only), made from Tokusen-Nihon-Madake (selected Japanese Madake) finished with walnut oil ensuring a high quality bamboo. The assembled option comes with hand-stitched Double or Single Gin Tsukagawa. The bamboo-only option is available too. It feels more robust than Keichiku types of bamboo and with the straight body-type, is an ideal Shinai model for high grade Kenshi. By selecting the desired grip diameter (thickness) and the Tsukagawa length, it may become the perfect/comfortable Shinai for your own Kendo-style.

Recommended for Kenshi that aims Ippon using single powerful techniques and/or counter-attacks. When the Tsukagawa length is requested to be shorter plus selecting the short grip option, it will help to attack from a far distance but if you prefer taking advantage of the close Maai, the longer Tsukagawa with standard grip is suggested. Also for Jodan players, the longest Tsukagawa will definitely fits well.  

* SSP Approval: This Shinai follows the actual All Japan Kendo Federation designated regulations.

* The standard Tsuba size does not fit on thicker grips Shinai. When the option for adding the Tsuba & Tsubadome set is selected, we will adjust (enlarge the hole of) the Tsuba, which is reflected on the extra fee.

* The Tsukagawa Length options are approximate. Due to the leather elastic properties, the length might vary between 0.5 to 1 cm from the option selected. Also, it may experience further elongation after use, specially when exposed to different environment (humidity and temperature changes). Expect it to extend longer than the initial length after a while.

* "Assembled Shinai"= Leather fittings/parts included. "Bamboo only"= Without assembling parts.

Warranty
We make a quality check after the products are finished at the workshop and before preparing the shipment, but in case that something was overlooked or one of the products from another maker has some kind of malfunction, and if you find any trouble with your purchase after receiving it, contact us immediately to help you out. If you think there is a problem after using all the purchased items for a while, you can also write to us, and we will analyze your case to check if we could offer you a solution in the way of repair, exchange, refund or a compensation in case it corresponds depending of the problem. But please be aware that not only all the protective gear that is used wrongly or in extreme situations will be damaged. Due to the normal use (sweat, friction, hits) and to the weather (direct sunlight, dryness, humidity) impacts over time, it is assumed that the condition of the product will decrease. Before contacting us, take the aforementioned into consideration, and if we found out the cause or reason of the problem is not due to a defective product or manufacture error, there will be no replacement, repair, refund or compensation whatsoever. * In case of bamboo and wood products (Shinai, Bokuto, Suburito), designated weight and their surface's condition might change during the shipping due to moisture/humidity changes that may occur while handled or stored by the couriers and while traveling to your place for delivery. Natural raw materials, specially bamboo, might present imperfections such as color change, dark spots and other visible details that are perfectly normal; these do not represent any problem in terms of durability. Also, many of our Shinai have a layer of wax or oil finishing, thus residues may be found on the bamboo. For this reason, we suggest to clean these kind of products with a cloth before using them the first time. And in case of small deterioration on the surface due to dryness, we recommend to put (only on the bamboo or wood areas) a layer of vegetable-oil after polishing with sandpaper, if necessary.
