Mengane is IBB Pro which is light-weight titanium featuring durability, superior balance and shock absorption.
Futon of men is made of high-quality cotton, including gKodai Mosenh, 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. 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 selected Japanese felt and cotton is padded. Also premium 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. Six different designs are available for Mune.
Knuckle of Kote is premium level of indigo-dyed deerskin, same as the rest leather parts. And genuine deer's fur is stuffed in it which also makes this Bogu special. And unlike usual bogus the palm of Kote is white as you can see in the photo. This is not because it is bleached but it is original color of deerskin that remains so when not smoked. And it is seen only in the best rank of Bogu. A selected compound of Japanese felt including gKodai Mosenh and cotton, are padded inside of Kote.
Tare is also natural indigo dyed with stitch of 3.6mm in width and trimmed beautifully by our expert craftsmen. Premium quality deerskin is attached, and 7-line of silk brades decorated. Futon is made using gKodai Mosenh.
gMosenh is scarlet felt, made from animal hair, usually from sheep, goat, and it is traditionally used by nomadic people in Mongolia.The fabric of several decades passed, genuine Mosen, called gKodai Mosenh is light weight, elastic, soft and durable. But it is now difficult to obtain because it is limited in supply.
Kendo Bogu that contains genuine gKodai Mosenh is elastic, shock-absorbing, durable, and comfortable. Standard felt Mosen is nothing compared to the genuine " Kodai Mosen ".
All of the Futon used in g Korinh is made using genuine "Kodai Mosen".

| 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. |
