Complete Kendo Equipment Set for Beginners, Elementary School Students Made by Yachiman Budogu in Yoyogi-Hachiman, Tokyo. Although there are no tags on the protective gear, it was purchased from Yachiman. Used by a lower elementary school child for 1 year, practicing 1-2 times a week. Each practice session was about 60-90 minutes, but the time spent wearing the protective gear wasn't long, including warm-ups and practice swings. Made in Japan by craftsmen, it's sturdy. (Compared to my sibling's equipment) I think there's a difference compared to mass-produced, overseas equipment. The futon (padding) is thick and soft, and the quality of the men himo (face cord), kote himo (glove cord), do himo (chest cord), and do chigawa (chest leather) is good. The purchase price was around 70,000 yen. (You can still check on their website) The men (face guard) has soft futon, and in addition to recent trends, the men-dare (face guard flaps) are short, making it easier to swing. The kote (gloves) are also soft, with little wear. There is no damage or holes in the palm. The do (chest protector) is difficult to see in the images, but there are some scratches from practice, but it's relatively clean. The do mune (chest piece) is Kanto Sankaisho 2-bu sashi (stitched), white thread Yabane (arrow feather pattern). The tare (waist protector) also has soft futon. It has an original three-tiered decoration. Jersey Keikogi (training jacket) size 0 Jersey Hakama (skirt-like pants) size 20 The Keikogi and Hakama are not very noticeable, but there are traces of name embroidery having been removed. The Hakama has inner pleats, and the folds make it easy to fold. A men pad and kote supporters are included so you won't get hurt when struck. Please purchase as a set. I am not considering selling items separately. There are no names written on the men, kote, do, or tare. I have a history of buying and selling kendo equipment on flea market apps and online auctions. As protective gear cannot be washed, the smell is a concern. Smell is a matter of individual subjectivity. I feel that this item doesn't have much of a smell, but please do not purchase it if you are concerned. I once bought protective gear that was advertised as "no smell," but it had a slight odor. I also bought protective gear advertised as "having a unique smell," but I didn't smell anything. As preferences vary, I haven't used liquid deodorizers. I will air dry the equipment before shipping and pack it carefully.
