Only the real brings the atmospherical beauty and strength!

Mengane is all titanium featuring durability.

Futon is made of high-quality cotton, all hand-stitched by french seam method, also known as Fukuronui in Japanese. In this way Futon comes in neat and fine design and becomes lighter because after stitched both outside and inside out to look like a pocket, only adjusted amount of material is stuffed to fit. In normal sewing method good amount of material is laid between fabrics and lastly trim it where excess stuffing could happen. Inside of Futon a compound of Japanese felt and cotton is padded. Also deluxe level of indigo-dyed deerskin is attached onto Futon.

Chin guard is available for six different designs.

Do consists of 60 pieces of genuine beautiful bamboo and is lacquered with traditional Japanese Urushi to bring long-lasting gloss. Urushi has been loved from long time ago because of its antibacterial property and tasteful fine luster. Varnished black-colored Urushi on frontal and natural Urushi on inside. The chest guard is made of Krozan leather which requires manual time-taking process; first, leather is smoked to make it more durable and air goes through better. And then varnish with liquid iron following lacquer, which turns into gorgeous black color later. After completely dried it under the sun, a craftsman rub it with own hands to make surface uneven and lacquer only on projected surface and then lacquer two more times after that.

Six different designs are available for Mune.

Knuckle of Kote is also indigo-dyed deluxe level of deerskin same as the rest leather parts. Kote palm is Shoto which means smoked deerskin featuring comfort and softness. A compound of Japanese felt and cotton is padded inside of forearm of Kote.

Extended Information

Top 5 Reason for you to choose Tozando Kyoto Series Bogu
1. Hide for Menbuchi Because we consider "Menbuchi-tying" is very important, we choose the finest hide and make it all by hand by the master craftsman. Being able to choose the appropriate hide has the big influence on making the well-balanced, aesthetic Kendo Men.	2. Handmade Uchiwa Many Kendo masters say that, if the Men is appropriately assembled by the master craftsman, Men himo cord is unnecessary to put the Men on. That's why Uchiwa ring of Tozando's Kyoto series Kendo Bogu is all handmade by the master craftsman only.	3. Monomi Adjustment We attach the Uchiwa ring and Mengane according to each order unlike the norm that the premade Men is adjusted according to the given information. The view through the Mengane metals, so-called Monomi, will affect your posture and performance.
4. Special Tie Cord for Menbuchi hide Tying the Mebuchi on Men is crucial. And Tozando uses the special, extra-strong cord to make it perfect.	5. Japan Urushi Lacquer No artificial lacquer is used. The true, natural Japan Urushi lacquer is richer and deeper in the Japan black. Tozando is daringly using the Japan Urushi of Kyoto's origin.
