We Love Shinai. Good Shinai, Good Kendo.

We believe that a shinai is the most important equipment in Kendo. Kendo revolves around a shinai. No shinai, no Kendo. From regular practice shinai, to handmade premium shinai, for juniors and adults, for men and women, and different grip options, we have it all, with consideration of our end-user’s preferences.
