About Our Products - The highest quality of Shinai and Bogu -

Kendo is the oldest of several martial arts studied in Japan. In fact in the past, it was practiced by samurai as a way of bolstering physical and mental power.
Previously various woods were used for the swords, but in the eighteenth century the use of bamboo became established, it called Shinai. It was also at this time that the protective gear, Bogu (face-mask, body-protector, gauntlets, and tuille) that are still used today, were devised.

Our Shinai and Bogu are mainly produced by Kendo gear production experts in a small factory in Niigata, Japan. The experts have carried on the torch for production. They choose materials very carefully and process them with great care at each stage of production.

Matsu Budogu offers the highest quality of Shinai and Bogu which are carefully selected by our Kendo Masters.

"If you are debating over which koto style shinai to purchase, Matsu Budogu's BIZAN is a great choice! The one I purchased has excellent balance and the staves are nicely aligned without any gaps in between. I would highly recommend the BIZAN shinai!"
