Special Edition Jissengata Bogu
Made in Japan
 
**FREE SHIPPING WORLD WIDE**
 
Based on our massively popular 'Tokuren' Bogu set, the new Tokuren 'Alpha' now makes owning a fantastic made to measure Bogu even more affordable!
 
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. Like the all of our Made in Japan Bogu range, 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), a Bogu bag and a Tenugui.

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

Alpha- Jissengata Bogu September 22, 2011
Reviewer: Damian Santiago from NYC, NY United States  
Having waited for my Bogu patiently, i can honestly say that Miyako's craftsmen have done a perfect, precise and elegantly beautiful job of putting together my bogu to my specifications. It fit very nicely upon arrival and continues to mold itself to my body with each and every use. It is very light without compromising the necessary amount of protection required. It is an absolutely beautiful bogu. You will no doubt receive many WOW's as i did. I cant wait to design and order my next one. A very BIG
ARIGATO to the entire Miyako Kendogu
team for their commitment to producing top of the line products for all of us kendoka worldwide...Ous

Tokuren® Alpha - Jissengata Bogu March 11, 2011
Reviewer: James from United States  
I received the bogu, and have had a chance to use it at keiko. The
Tare and Doh are wonderful. It's true that I am not aware of the Tare
even during sonkyo, and the back edges of the Doh do not clip my
elbows like others have.
The Men fits like a glove. It is very tight, and it receives men-uchi
very well. Mostly, I am so very happy to finally be able to see!
Honestly, I feel like my sight is completely unhindered by the
Men-gane! I was very surprised by this.
The Kote fit very well, I feel my kendo has been improving because I have
learned to guard my kote much better to avoid the pain. Also, this
situation has helped me to correct the improper position of my right
wrist. Also, the kote stay on my hands like well made gloves, and do
not have a tendency to slide or move when my hands are relaxed. This
is why I have ordered a duplicate set. Thanks again for all your hard
work and wonderful products.

I am very happy with the bogu, and appreciate all of your time and
effort in helping me.
Thank you very much for everything!
Sincerely,
James

Excellent All Round Bogu and Team February 14, 2011
Reviewer: Craig Jones from Germany  
Kote are made extremely well and the detail and time taken can be clearly seen. The short Mendare don't restrict movement of my shoulders. The Men fits so well I didn't feel that one of my Himo was loose until shown. All together the set is very light and is clearly a no frills fighting set. From the time Andi asked for my photo to get the sizing of my Men correct to all the questions I asked and the changes I made to Zeken etc the team at Miyako have been great. Thanks to Daniel and Andi for all your help. I recommend the Bogu set and the team.

Perfect set !! October 20, 2010
Reviewer: Emilie F. from PARIS, France  
I received it yesterday, and it's awesome!
Men kote and tare are very flexible and light. It fits perfectly and short mendare are really practical for my little shoulders!
If you're looking for a high quality bogu, don't hesitate! but you must be patient ;-)
Thank you so much Miyako kendogu !
