Description

Madake Koshirae (balanced and finished by hand) Nakabuto (medium thickness) Shinai.
Assembled with a double Tsukagawa sewed by hand, for optimum durability; Seiho is a wonderful well balanced Madake (giant timber bamboo) Shinai, carefully shaved and finished by hands of an artisan, leaving it on the light-weight spectrum without becoming Jissengata or competition type. It only adds 1mm to the Tsuka diameter compared with standard models, for a comfortable grip sensation. This type of bamboo (Madake) tends to be more durable in dryer climates, because it is denser than Keichiku, meaning that it can retain longer moisture and dry out slower (if oiling or maintaining it properly), but at the same time, its density makes the bamboo more rigid (at least less flexible than Keichiku), which will be felt when striking; It bends less easily than Keichiku, so it gives a firm sensation on each strike.

* Specially recommended for countries with low levels of humidity or dry weather.

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

* The size of Tsuba/Tsubadome set is designated by the Shinai size when the option for adding them is selected. If you want to buy a specific size of Tsuba/Tsubadome set, you need to purchase them as a separate item.

* Assembled Shinai; Leather fittings/parts included.

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.
