    Top 5 Reason for you to choose Tozando Kyoto Tradition Series

    1. Hide for Menbuchi

    Because the Menbuchi construction is extremely important, we choose only the finest rawhide and our master craftsman begins everything from scratch. Being able to choose the appropriate hide has a huge influence on making the well-balanced, aesthetically pleasing Kendo Men.
    2. Handmade Uchiwa

    Many Kendo masters say that, if the Men is appropriately assembled, then Men himo are not necessary to put the Men on. This means the Uchiwa must be carefully assembled by hand to ensure a perfect fit.
    3. The Monomi 

    We attach the Uchiwa and Mengane according to the specifications of each order, unlike pre-made Men. The view through the Monomi, is considered critically important as it will affect your posture and performance.

    4. Tying the Menbuchi 

    Tying the Mebuchi onto the Men is also crucial. And Tozando uses a special, extra-strong cord to make it perfect.
    5. Japan Urushi Lacquer

    No artificial lacquer is used. True, natural Japanese Urushi is a richer and deeper black. Tozando only uses genuine Japanese       Urushi which is made in Kyoto.


    All Kendo Bogu from the Tozando Kyoto Tradition Series is assembled in Kyoto, Japan by the master of Bogu-crafting, Mr Tahara Hakuzan and his pupils. He is in charge of instructing other ambitious craftsman as well as making masterpiece quality Kendo Bogu himself. 


    Tahara "Hakuzan" Hirofumi

    Born on the 13rd of June, 1955 in Miyazaki prefecture of the Kyushu island, Tahara Hirofumi entered the world of Kendo Bogu making at the age of 18. After serving several years of apprenticeship, he joined two Bogu companies as a full time Bogu craftsman. Because of his outstanding work and dedication, he became the chief of both factories. At the age of 30, he became an independent craftsman and moved to Iwate prefecture then opened his small Bogu workshop. During this period in Iwate, he constantly made sets of excellent Bogu set that were worn by many Kendo practitioners including the world champions and thousands of  high-graded and famous Sensei. In 2007, Tahara Hakuzan signed a contract for the position of an exclusive factory chief and executive officer of Tozando Co., Ltd.
