Our History

Introduction

Eguchi Kendo Equipment (Established 1919) and Eguchi Budo


Eguchi Budo has been providing kenshi throughout the world with quality, Japanese made kendo equipment since 1992. Through its own manufacturing facility and exclusive trade agreements, Eguchi Budo is proud to offer kendo equipment that is hard, if not impossible, to find anywhere else. Eguchi Budo stands behind the craftsmanship of all products; whatever you purchase from us, you can be confident that you made an investment in quality workmanship and material.  Eguchi is one of a very select group of companies that comprise the Japanese Kendo Equipment Manufacturers Association, who's aim is to support and help kendo grow while protecting its tradition and heritage.

When you buy kendo equipment from Eguchi, you can rest assured that the goods you receive come from reputable, well researched sources.   For example, our relationship with the 160 year old Nakajima Zome kendo-gi factory ensures that you can come to Eguchi for one of the best made keikogi's available today.   We have stock on hand for every item we carry, and if for some reason we don't, we have a range of substitutes to fulfill your needs.

Being in business for so long, you can see that kendo is indeed our life.  If  you are ever in Fukuoka, we would love to have you stop by our shop to talk with us.
