This item was purchased from Hokuto Budogu in Nara Prefecture. It is an original model. It is the same armor as that of Mr. Kazuo Furukawa of Hokkaido. I purchased it for competitions, but I haven't had many opportunities to use it, so I am putting it up for sale. I only used it in tournaments twice without breaking it in, so it has little wear and tear and is in good condition. I hope someone will cherish it. If you are someone who will take good care of it, please consider purchasing it.
