⚠️ The shinai pictured is not included. This listing is for the shinai bag only. ⚠️ Although it is new and unused, it is a vintage remake item, so the product condition is listed as "no noticeable scratches or stains." Product Description I used to have a fellow senior from my hometown, who was involved in Upcycled Casual and Japan Vintage Remake, do the sewing for me. However, after he suggested, "Why don't you try making it yourself this time?", I started working on the production myself. For some of the darker navy parts, I've used new woven-stitched fabric (washed several times). This is a shinai bag made by disassembling old kendo uniforms, preserving the original shape and cutting lines as much as possible. Distortions, marks from removed strings, and sewing marks are intentionally left, creating a one-of-a-kind item that allows you to feel the history of the material. Sulfide-dyed navy deerskin is used for the tip. This is a durable material used in protective gear, so there's no need to worry about color transfer during transport. Specifications Example of storage: Shown with 3.8 size shinai (3 shinais) Size: Width approx. 15cm / Length approx. 140cm String: Indigo-dyed approx. 85cm Materials: Old kendo uniform (cotton, indigo-dyed sashiko weave), tip - navy deerskin (sulfide-dyed) Important Notes (Please read) This product is a one-of-a-kind item made by reusing old kendo uniforms. Please purchase only if you understand that it has an outlet-like finish due to the thick material. Because the original shape is utilized, there are variations in cutting distortions, string removal marks, color, and texture. Please purchase only if you appreciate these as part of the character of the item.
