Ichikawa Deluxe Dobari Shinai – Premium Keichiku Bamboo for Superior Balance and Durability

The Ichikawa is our deluxe dobari-style shinai, expertly crafted from high-quality keichiku bamboo. Designed for kendo players who demand both performance and resilience, this shinai features a carefully balanced dobari shape that shifts weight closer to the hands. This design makes the tip lighter, improving maneuverability and control during strikes.

Unlike oversized dobari models that sacrifice tip strength, the Ichikawa is engineered with just the right dobari thickness to create the ideal balance while maintaining a solid, durable tip. This ensures improved strike feedback and long-lasting performance, even through intense keiko and competition use.

  • Material: Premium keichiku bamboo

  • Shape: Dobari (wider body, lighter tip)

  • Benefits: Enhanced control, quick handling, and strong tip durability

  • Available Sizes: 38 and 39 (men’s and women’s types)

Perfect for intermediate to advanced kendo practitioners, the Ichikawa dobari shinai offers the ideal blend of balance, responsiveness, and durability.
