SHINMEN

 
Made in Japan
 
**FREE SHIPPING WORLD WIDE**
 
This Bogu is made here in Japan, at our headquarters in Nishijin, Kyoto. We are dedicated to bringing our customers the chance to customise their Bogu, and Shinmen offers several options which make this possible.  The standard specification is a 2.0 Bu Orizashi Bogu set, however, through our various upgradable choices a higher specification can easily be achieved. 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 2-6 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) and a Tenugui.
 
**PLEASE NOTE: Kawakazari upgrades on the Men and tare are NOT available in conjunction with the standard Orizashi futon. These options are only available on Indigo Deerskin Futon. 

Please note - Extra-large sizes may incur a small additional cost. Please contact us if you require further information.

Excellent experience with this bogu and Miyako December 13, 2011
Reviewer: PS from MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA United States  
I ordered this bogu as an upgrade to my older set. Right from the beginning, I found Mr. Fisher to be extremely responsive to my questions regarding the bogu, and the excellent customer service I received has gone a long way in formulating my opinion of Miyako.

Since it was handmade, it took a while for the order to be completed, but shipping was prompt and the bogu reached within 3 days.

Initially I was concerned about the snug fit of the men, but it has nicely broken in and I have come to appreciate its structure and materials, that have resulted in a lighter bogu (compared to my older set) while offering the same level of comfort and protection.

My new Bogu November 15, 2011
Reviewer: Milo from Sarzana, La Spezia Italy  
Yesterday I received my new bogu Shinmen by miyako Kendogu.
I am very satisfied with its quality in all its parts.
I must say that the entire staff of Miyako exhibiting the works of art which then named Bogue.
Andy was very happy to discuss with me to the realization of my bogu, it is very personal in all its parts.
The MEN seems not to have it when you wear it, the KOTE are simply fantastic not prevent any movement, the DO .... I have no breath to be able to describe'm loving it right the first time I saw him, and finally the TARE very comfortable.
The whole set of bogu that feeling of having a second skin because the futon indulges your movements without limitation and at the same time it protects you.
I would like to thank Andy in particular ... but also the whole team of Miyako, who helped in the realization of my Bogu set!!

Many Many thanks at all !!!!

Custom Bogu October 28, 2011
Reviewer: Chris Meyer from Bangkok, Thailand  
Excellent purchase, the bogu fits perfectly making it feel like my own skin. It is extremely light yet protective making it very comfortable to do kendo in. The best bit is it looks great.

This set is definitely coming with me to the WKC!

Excellent Bogu with the service to match! March 18, 2011
Reviewer: Lee Dale from Berlin, Germany  
Both the Kote and Men fit very, very nicely and are extremely comfortable. The shorter mendare on the men are not restrictive at all and the diagonal stitching really help with the mendare's flexibility.  The kote fit the hand very well, without restricting movement meaning waza can be executed fluidly.

The tare is both flexible and light and during keiko, it is hardly noticeable.

The doh is simple stunning, both in the way it look and the way it feels. It fits perfectly, without being too tight or too large.  

Overall, the bogu is light and sturdy. It can be used as a keiko bogu and competition bogu. I would highly recommend this set to those who want a bogu that they can use for any purpose.

As for the service, Andy responded quickly and politely to the many questions I had. He was more than happy to discuss options with me and offer suggestions on better alternatives.

Big thank you to the Miyako Kendogu team!

Regards,

Lee
