13WKC Special Edition Shinai

Special 13th World Kendo Championships Edition Shinai, with engravings.

"KUNIMASA was mased 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 7 Dan). The bamboo was specially treated for durability, giving a shiny look.

Features
Kunimasa was designed based on the World and All Japan Champion Miyazaki's favorite selection of Shinais. Kunimasa was custom produced to our specifications after many trials with the Shinai factory.

5 of 5 Kunimasa! May 1, 2009
Reviewer: CLB from Hilo, HI United States  
Aloha ALL,

Initially, it took some time for me to get used to this shinai as it "felt" heavier and had a different balance compared to the shinai that was given to me by my sensei. However...

After some practice with it, and getting used to the wider tsuka and front heavy "feel", it is great! I am thankful to the e-bogu crew for their assistance and patience in helping me to choose the Kunimasa shinai!

PS: not sure why, but my kote strikes have become more accurate after using this shinai...could it be because it has some Miyazaki Sensei in it? ;-)
