Jissengata (competitive) Tsukabuto-Tsukatan (thick short grip) Shinai
RAIKO is a Keichiku Jissengata Shinai (good for Shiai) with shorter and thicker grip (an assembled 39 size Shinai has a 28 to 29mm diameter grip, with a ±30cm long Tsuka), exclusively crafted for men (available in 39 size only) finished with walnut oil assuring a high quality Shinai. Can be ordered without fittings (bamboo only) or assembled to a hand-stitched double Gin Tsukagawa. The center of gravity is closer to the hands due to the thicker grip (Tsukabuto) and also due to its Do (prominent part above the handle or body of the Shinai) which has been lowered (Tsukatan). As you would expect from a Jissengata, it is a great option for a competitive Kendo style, but thanks to its thicker and shorter grip, maneuverability and strike's strength has been also improved, because the tip of the Shinai gains more momentum due to the closer hand position on the lowered Tsuka. For this reason, it is recommended for Kenshi that aims Ippon using techniques from far distance (Tō-Maa) or from middle distance (Chū-kan).
* 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.
* Assembled Shinai = Leather fittings/parts included.
