This is a tare (protective skirt) from the famous Tokyo Seibudo's "Tetsu," machine-stitched. While there is some color fading, there is little damage to the tiered decorations and mountain folds, and the condition is relatively good. It has been cleaned, so there are no concerns about odors. It is very soft overall, and the narrow width of the abdominal band provides an excellent fit. The size of the large tare is also exquisite, giving the impression of a naturally beautiful posture. This is an excellent item recommended not only for students but also for those practicing recreational kendo. You should be able to use it without any repairs for the time being, but please understand that this is a used item before purchasing. Packaging will be a simple package or boxed using reused materials.
