This is a high quality handmade Koto Shinai made of selected high quality Japanese Madake Bamboo. This Shinai is entirely handmade by skilled craftsmen, using their expertise to balance and adjust the Shinai to perfection.
The 'Benkei' model's handle is made extra thick(28mm in diameter), because of this, this model feels and has it's center of balance at the tip. 

In Koto style Shinai the weight is more evenly distributed through out the Shinai, while the center of the gravity is located closer to the tip, imitating the balance of a "real sword". Because of this it's said to be more difficult to master and preferred by high level practitioners. 

Please note that this unit comes with the Bamboo only. If you would like a fully furnished version of this Shinai, please choose "add leather fittings" in the menu. Available in Size 39 only.

Fait entièrement à la main.Veuillez noter que ce Shinai vient tel quel non monté dans sa version bambou uniquement. Si vous voulez une version complète de ce Shinai pour qu'il soit prêt à être utilisé (Tsukagawa, Tsuru...etc..), merci de sélectionner l'option de Shikumi appropriée ci-dessus.
