This is the men-dare (face protector leather) for a kendo men (face guard). It's the type that attaches from the top, so it's a single piece. It comes with men-himo (face guard cords), so I think it's a good deal. The men-himo still has indigo dye remaining and is still beautiful. This is a used item, so there is a feeling of use, but I think you can still use it sufficiently. For those who use the bottom attachment type, you can still use the men-himo by cutting it to a suitable length.
