These are Koshirae (hand protectors) from Ogasawara Budogu in Kochi, called "Kuro-Sen." They are incredibly soft and designed for practical use. The palm is made of deerskin with a slight indigo dye, but there are no tears or odors! Ready to use immediately for matches, examinations, and practice! The size is approximately 17-18cm from the wrist to the tip of the middle finger. The circumference of the hand, excluding the thumb, is 20-21cm. They should fit people who usually use size M Kote (hand protectors)! I'm selling them to organize my equipment as I have too many. Buying them from Ogasawara Budogu now would cost around the late 40,000 yen range. Thank you for your consideration.
