Hand-stitched 1.0 Bu (Japanese measurement unit) Extremely beautiful L~LL size high-grade Kendo armor, 1.0 Bu hand-stitched. This Tare (waist protector) was purchased from a high-ranking instructor about two years ago. It's so magnificent that I hesitate to use it, which is why I'm offering it for sale this time. I believe it was purchased about 20 years ago. The entire set of armor cost 800,000 yen at the time of purchase, and it was custom-made as a commemorative item for the instructor's promotion to 7th Dan. It has been used less than 10 times, so it still has its firmness and is in very good condition without any shape distortion. Also, the decorative thread is blue and very carefully stitched, making the skill of the craftsman very clear. (※ Due to aging, the indigo dye has faded overall. I considered re-dyeing it, but because there is a possibility that the blue stitching thread would be dyed, I am selling it in its current condition.) Tare Futon (padding): Navy deer leather 8-dan decoration Size: Adult L~LL Overall width 78cm, width 53cm, height 39cm There are no frays, tears, or damage overall. The 8-dan decoration looks great and maintains its dignity, so I think it's good for practice, matches, and examinations. I hope someone will use it with care. #KendoTare #KendoTare #KendoHandStitched #HandStitched1Bu
