TOKUREN 

Special Edition Hand Stitched Bogu
Made in Japan
 
**FREE SHIPPING WORLD WIDE**

 
It is well known that Kendo is a popular activity amongst Police officers in Japan. In many prefectures there are specialist Kendo teams, known as the Tokuren, who are designated at the Police force's 'specialist' Kendoka. These officers, often become the best players in Japan, achieving victory in the All Japans and the World Championships. 

The Tozando Group have supplied many of Japan's Tokuren players with equipment over the years, and based on the custom specifications that they select, Miyako Kendogu are now able to offer the ultimate in Jissengata Bogu. 

This Bogu is made here in Japan, at our headquarters in Nishijin, Kyoto, by our highly skilled and experienced craftsmen. This set is lightweight and strong, whilst at the same time remaining understated and stylish. As this Bogu set is made by us, and not sourced from a supplier, it is exclusively available and can not be found elsewhere.
 
Please be aware that each Bogu set is custom made, and like any tailor-made item, a great deal of time and effort goes into producing each one. This is not a 'run of the mill' bogu, and because we are providing you with the very best quality and perfect fit this Bogu can not, and will not be sold 'off the shelf'. Please be aware that in order for us to deliver a top quality, hand-crafted bogu set that delivery may take some time. Please expect to wait approximately 3-6 months for shipping, depending on the specific options you have chosen. We will advise of a more accurate delivery time at the point of order.
 
*Includes all Himo (strings), a Bogu bag and a Tenugui

please note: larger or smaller than standard sizes may require additional cost and production time.

Excellent bogu! January 31, 2012
Reviewer: Ambjörn Holmkvist from SkellefteÃ¥, Vasterbotten Sweden  
I have been using this bogu for 2 months now and I must admit that it is the best bogu I have ever used.

I got it looking exaktlie like I wanted it and Andy has provided the best support that I have ever encountered from a kendo web shop.

Im really pleased and I highly recomend it for both shiai and practise. The koté feelt like wearing nothing on your hands and made my wrists really flexible whilst still protekting from the hits of my teammates.

Superb armor January 4, 2012
Reviewer: Brian Sherry from Vienna, VA United States  
After 10 years of doing kendo in an introductory set, I decided to get a new set.  I wanted quality and I wanted a traditional hand-made set from Japan.  Andy helped my choose the right set for me and to pick the options I wanted.  The result is a beautiful piece of craftsmanship, but perhaps more importantly a fantastically effective set of kendo armor.

Although I knew the quality would be high, the extremely light weight of this set was a shock. Yet, not one bit of protection as sacrificed to achieve it.  This set is beautiful, very light, and provides complete protection, all at once.  Also, the smaller size of the men-dare allows a wider range of motion in the shoulders and is quite liberating!  

I am totally satisfied with my purchase and very thankful to have found Miyako kendogu!

Simply Awesome December 9, 2011
Reviewer: David from Ellicott City, MD United States  
It fits perfectly.  Super light and soft.  It's protection ability has definitely reached beyond my expectation.  Andy has been very helpful through out the purchasing process.  Shipping is super fast (1-2days from Japan to US).  The only downside is that you have to wait several months, but I think it's worth the wait.

Deluxe Jissengata Bogu October 7, 2011
Reviewer: Kirk Doran from Auckland, Auckland New Zealand  
I purchased by using the 6 month payment plan. This really helped me in getting the funds together to by this great bogu. The bogu is really light but takes the knocks much better than my old set and looks great too. Thanks for all the help Andy.

AWESOME treasure for a Kendoka August 9, 2011
Reviewer: Thang Tran from Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam  
Just received this customized set. Only one word to describe "AWESOME".
Everything is just perfect & well-fit to my bogu. My feeling of the first wear is like a Tuxedo, very comfortable and nice looking. The whole bogu set is less than 5kg, very light. But it's very strong, very protective. I no longer feel the pain of tough strikes.
If you are looking for a FASHIONABLE, EASY TO CARE, LIGHT-WEIGHT & PROTECTIVE bogu set, I do recommend you this one.
If you are looking for a high-quality international Kendo Shop with outstanding consultancy services, I do recommend you to keep in touch with Miyako Kendogu.
