One of the best made, most wearable, comfortable 100% Japanese made bogu sets you can invest in!
The initial reaction of many kenshi and sensei to this bogu set has been "gee, pretty simple looking, isn't it?" But looks are deceiving- after trying it on and using it in keiko, virtually everyone becomes hooked.
Why? Mitsuboshi has conducted extended studies of serious kendoists, and has carefully designed this bogu to fulfill your needs. What makes this different? Each piece is designed to provide the most freedom of movement possible while minimizing weight and maximizing safety & comfort. Serious kendoists don't worry about how many lines of added decoration are on a tare or do, they simply want to know that the bogu they wear enhances their kendo rather than hindering it. This is a case of pure functionality that becomes immediately discernable once the bogu is used.
We carry this bogu set in stock at all times, but due to the cost and need for careful measurements, it cannot be ordered online. Please contact us by e-mail at eguchi@earthlink.net, or toll free at 866-328-9262 for details!
Price: $2.300
Specifications:
100% Finest pure hand selected cotton, bamboo, leather & deerskin material, and best quality Japanese aizome dye for superior mildew protection. All edges are sewn with a pattern closer than 6mm, causing the edges to be tighter and hold their shape longer.
Men: Titanium mengane, reinforced edging, newly designed men buton shape provides better arm and shoulder movement (this design is popular among top flight competitors and the Japan riot police) that mirrors the best hand-stitched bogu. Stitching is 6mm, equivalent to 2.0Bu hand stitching. Forehead and chin pads both have specail inner layers sewn in to help prevent moisture from damaging the other parts of the men and reduce salt stain.
Do: "60 Piece bamboo do-dai with special hand lacquer finish, special select reinforced leather mune in all sizes up to large. Extra large and bigger require a custom 60 to 64 piece do, depending on kenshi size, and cost roughly $200 more (depending on details); contact us at the office for more information.
Tare: 4 Line detailed decoration with deluxe leather edge reinforcement; due to the stitching technique Mitsuboshi uses, this may well be the most supple, comfortable tare you have ever used!
Kote: 100% Deerskin kote (both palms and head), two kera/seam design and specially layered/blended padding. The kote heads are filled with the best shock absorbing deer hair. Why deer hair? Because over time it breaks down in a manner that results in the kote molding around your hand for a perfect fit. The right kote comes standard with extra padding to protect from constant kote blows. The left kote can also be ordered in this fashion (useful for kenshi who use ni-to and Jodan kamae).
