Information

Sizing

The Hikari is a rare tezashi bogu that is available in-stock meaning you do not have to wait months to get your hands on it. These aren't just run of the mill bogu though, each set has been hand made and will be adjusted to your sizes by experienced craftsmen before being shipped. A joy to wear and use because of its incredible fit and fantastic protection it has also been optimised for ease of movement.

It is stitched to 1.5bu to provide an elegant and dignified futon that provides excellent protection. It is finished with genuine indigo dyed deerskin giving it a luxurious appearance and excellent durability.

Without compromising the important protection of the Menbuton at the top, we have used 1.2bu Nanamezashi hand-stitching for the Mendare to make it lighter and by also making it shorter, the stress of the shoulders and arms are minimized. Also by using the Tozando IBB D-PRO Mengane, we can keep the Men as a whole light and ideally balanced making the Men feel very light to wear and move around in.

To make it easier to hold your Shinai, we have made the Kote with 1-line Namako and 2-line Kazari. We have also made Kote futon of the right-hand Kote 10% thicker to provide better protection.

The Do is a light and durable 50/60pc Yamato Do, the pieces vary depending on the size of the Do.

The Tare is decorated with high quality indigo-dyed leather that has been hand-stitched onto the Futon and features Gunomezashi stitching.

Hikari 1.5 Bu Tezashi (Jisengata style)	March 4, 2020
Reviewer: Enrique Ortiz from Ercolano (Naples), Italy

The Hikari 1.5 Bu Tezashi (Jisengata style) is a true work of art, the first feeling I have had when I received it is to thank the artisans who have worked in the manufacture of their work and in the responsibility of doing Always the best possible kendo to honor your work. It is a sober, simple and elegant Bogu.

The Men is fantastic, with the short mendare and with 1.2Bu nanamezashi, it is really comfortable and light, the menbuchi fits perfectly. Besides being very elegant and sober in its design, the Noukon in Gobanzashi Shokko style is fantastic

The Tare is a true work of art, with the stitched Gunomezashi stitching panels and the 6 lines (6-line braid decoration) make it very honorable.

The Kote fits perfectly, gives great protection and allows the grip of the shinai naturally, the decoration with 1-line Namako with 2-line Kazari is sober and elegant.

The embrodery in deer skin of all the pieces of the bogu is delicate.

Thanks the entire Tozando team

Very nice all purpose bogu	June 5, 2019
Reviewer: Vlad from SAINT-DENIS, Reunion Island

Excellent support and advices from the Tozando team. Buying my first own bogu has been a pleasant experience thanks to them (and my sensei of course :) , and practicing with it even more.
The Bogu is as expected, quite plain with nice details, protective enough while being rather light and comfortable. That’s a big improvement compared to my previous bogu , and of course after training I feel a little like a smurf with that smoky ... (smoked deerskin Kote Palm) :)
I hope it will be a reliable partner for many years
