Selected Madake Kotogata Tsukabuto Hakkaku-Koban Shinai.
GIYUMON is a Kotogata (straight body type) with selectable thick grip (bamboo of 28mm or 30mm), exclusively crafted for men (available in 39 size only), made from Tokusen-Madake (selected Madake) finished with walnut oil assuring a high quality Shinai. The assembled option comes with hand-stitched Double Gin Tsukagawa, and you can order only the bamboo too. It has the strong sensation particular of the Madake bamboo type and overall Koto body-type, ideal for "powerful single strikes" Kendo style, but thanks to its thicker Hakkaku-Koban (octagonal-oval) grip it is also good for counter-attacks and it's more user-friendly than the standard Kotogata that feels heavier. And because you can choose the grip diameter (thickness) and the Tsukagawa length, it may become more comfortable for your hands and particular Kendo-style. Recommended for Kenshi that aims Ippon using single techniques and/or counter-attacks from a far distance (if you choose the shorter Tsukagawa) or by taking advantage of the close Maai (if the longer Tsukagawa is selected).
* 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.
