This is a kendo shinai (bamboo sword). Made by Morimoto Seisho. Made in Japan, genuine bamboo, size 39 for men. The handle's head is oval-shaped. Approximately 27mm x 25mm. Weight: 472g. Shinai handcrafted by artisans are difficult to obtain and expensive. I will sell it to someone who will take good care of it. Although unused, it has been handled by someone. Please refrain from bidding if you are looking for a perfect item.
