Thank you for viewing. This is a kendo tare (waist protector) made by "Naoshige," a renowned craftsman. I am selling it to organize my collection and hope it will be cherished by someone who will use it well. 【Product Features】 • Made by "Naoshige," a craftsman from Kyoto. A well-known, high-quality kendo equipment brand. • Specifications: Hand-stitched, 1.5-bu (1.5-minute stitch) The extremely fine and detailed stitching provides both the firmness and softness unique to hand-stitching. The 1.5-bu stitching absorbs the impact of strikes while providing an outstanding fit that conforms to the body. • Design: The cloud decorations and leather trim are also very elaborate, reflecting the careful craftsmanship of a high-quality product. 【Condition】 • It was used for practice, so there is some fading characteristic of indigo dye, as well as some scuffs and wear from strikes. (Please refer to the photos) • There are no major tears or damage, and no smell of sweat. It has been stored cleanly. • It is still in condition to be used actively. In fact, I believe it has developed a "character" and "dignity" that new items lack. 【Recommended for】 • Those looking for authentic hand-stitched armor for promotion exams or important matches. • High-ranking kendoka who want to upgrade their practice armor. The satisfaction of wearing a 1.5-bu hand-stitched tare is different. Please consider this opportunity to acquire top-quality armor. It can be restored by re-dyeing. Please feel free to comment if you have any questions. Please consider this item, understanding that it is a used product.
