Kendo Do (Body) Do-dai (Body Base) only 60-hon (60-piece) bamboo do Made by Shoryudo Opening is approximately 38.5 cm Matte black lacquer finish Has some strike marks. No noticeable looseness. No cracks visible on the surface. If I were to point out a potential issue, there is a slight area where the bamboo appears to be raised in photo 7 and photo 8. Photo 9 shows some processing on both upper ends. I've heard that some craftsmen perform this kind of processing, considering the stress on the chest and do-dai. I suspect this is a do crafted by a highly skilled craftsman. When photographed with a flash, the left side appeared brown, but it usually doesn't look that way. This is a used item. Please refrain from bidding if you are looking for a perfect item.
