One of our best selling Shinai, KUNIMASA, now in BESSAKU Series. This Shinai holds the same balance and characteristics of the KUNIMASA Shinais, but with the BESSAKU bamboo cut. What makes the BESSAKU series so special is the special way we cut the bamboo. The corners of each Bamboo piece is more angular, compared to our other Shinais.

 

"KUNIMASA was based on the Shinai that Miyazaki Sensei gave to me during his visit to the USA. When I held his Shinai, my impression was how light his Shinai was. I asked if this Shinai had over 510g and his reply was "Of course!". The balance of the Shinai is so exceptional, that makes the Shinai feel so light. So far, I have't had the courage to use the Shinai that Sensei gave to me at practices, but from the feel of it, KUNIMASA has a simmilar balance and feel of his Shinai. You will love it!" - Taro Ariga CEO (Kendo Renshi 7th Dan).

 

The bamboo was specially treated for durability, giving a matte look.
