Mitsuboshi Mine Bespoke Kote (Wrist Guards) These kote were custom-ordered, with specific requests regarding the length of the futon (padding) and the amount of cotton in the kote head. They are very soft and easy to use. While more suited for matches than practice, as you can see, the kote himo (wrist guard cords) need repair and the tenouchi (palm material) needs to be replaced. Therefore, I am offering them at this price. Thank you for your interest. Kendo Bogu (Equipment) Kote (Wrist Guards)
