Metallic Waves - Handmade Tsuba (Shinai)

Unique handmade Resin Tsuba for Shinai.
This is a product made in collaboration with the Ensō Workshop; the artist behind this original work is Daniel N. Apostu, teacher at the Faculty of Arts in Romania, also a Kendo and Iaido practitioner. His work can be described as a colorful artistic approach of the Tsuba for Shinai and Bokuto, based on japanese motifs. You will find many different textures, techniques and materials used on each piece. Each one is handcrafted individually, and due to the nature of the making process, there are no two products alike, each piece is unique!

Perfect for a special gift, decorative item or just for collection. They also can be used for normal practices without problem!

SIZE: Hole diameter of 30mm for standard Shinai 38 size or for thin grip Shinai 39 size.
* The hole can be expanded 2mm approx. to match the standard Shinai 39 size if requested (in the options), but be aware that the surface on the inside of the hole will become white after sanding. 

* It may present embossed areas and lines on the resin's surface due to the nature of the materials and the hand manufacturing itself. These are not considered as flaws, but part of the final product. Please carefully check the pictures to be sure you are fine with the product besides the design. (In some cases discounts will take place when scratches or other details are considered as damage after quality check).

* Scratches on the surface of the Tsuba may emerge during training. When not in use, we recommend keeping them in the original package to avoid damage.

* Recommendations: Do not leave them in direct sunlight or in extremely hot environments for long periods of time.

* Use it without worrying, they can endure direct strikes from Shinai and Bokuto. However, as with any other Tsuba on the market, if cracks or tiny ruptures emerge, we recommend to stop using it.
