New Stock pre-order available at $70 each if you make an order before 30 June 2025.
(Less than 20 of those are coming in early August!)
The tip leather (sakigawa) and middle leather (nakagawa) are made from high-quality Japanese gin-kawa (white leather). The handle leather (tsukagawa) is also made from Japanese gin-kawa, machine-stitched for consistency.
Model Name: 39 MOGAMI Kiyotake – Dobari Jissengata
Crafted from high-grade Taiwanese keichiku bamboo, this shinai features a full set of pure white gin-kawa on the tip, middle, and handle. It is practical, durable, and aesthetically refined.
Leather durability: ★★★★★
Bamboo durability: ★★★★☆
Bamboo flexibility: ★★★★★
Grip diameter: 25mm
Weight and Balance:
The bamboo is carefully selected to create a dobari-sakihoso type (thicker around the handle and thinner toward the tip), shifting the center of gravity toward the tsuka (handle). The monouchi (striking section) is slimmer than other shinai, making it ideal for advanced practice.
What is Gin-kawa?
Gin-kawa refers to the outer skin layer of animal hide. It features dense fiber structures and is known as “living leather” or “breathable leather.”
What is Toko-gawa (lower-grade leather)?
This layer has a mesh-like structure closer to the subcutaneous tissue, with coarser and uneven fiber distribution. As a result, the thickness is inconsistent and generally considered less durable.

柄の直径： 25mm
重さとバランス：
厳選された竹材を使用し、柄側が太く、先端にかけて細くなる胴張先細型に仕上げています。これにより重心が柄側に寄り、物打ち部分が他の竹刀よりも細くなっており、上級者向けの実戦型です。
吟皮とは？
吟皮とは動物の表皮部分で、繊維が非常に緻密なため「生きている革」や「呼吸する革」とも称される高級な皮革素材です。
床革とは？
床革は網目状の組織で皮下組織に近く、繊維の分布が粗く不均一で、厚さにもムラがあるため、吟皮に比べて耐久性が劣ります。

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about sizing, pickup, shipping and payment — message us if you can't find what you need.
What measurements do I need to provide for a custom Bogu set to fit correctly?
To guarantee an accurate fit, we ask for:
Dō and uniforms: height, weight, waist circumference, hip-to-ankle length.
Kote: palm length, palm circumference.
Men: jawline-around-head, forehead circumference, chin-to-eye measurement.
Because every set is made to your measurements, this also covers smaller or leaner builds — for example, a child who's still small and thin — the fit is based on their actual body, not a standard size chart.
Can I pick up my order in person, and where are you located?
Yes, local pickup is available at our Pyrmont location (1-29 Bunn Street, Pyrmont) until the end of September 2026. Please coordinate a date and time with us in advance so we can have your items ready and book visitor parking if you're driving.
From October 2026, pickup moves to 24-36 Pacific Highway, Wahroonga.
What are your shipping options, and how long does delivery take?
Custom-made Bogu is produced after we receive your measurements — production takes 7–10 business days in off-peak periods, or up to 10–20 business days during peak season (March–May). If ready-stocked Bogu works for you instead, we can dispatch within 4 business days.
Once dispatched, our default shipping method is Sea Freight (about 30–45 days), which is typically included in the price. Need it sooner? You can upgrade to Express Air Shipping (7–10 business days) for an additional fee.
Can I customize or remove individual items from a Bogu package deal?
Yes — you can upgrade specific components (such as upgrading the Men or Kote to premium versions), or remove items you don't need (like a shinai bag or backpack), for an adjusted invoice price.
What's your cancellation and refund policy for pre-order Bogu?
The refund window is based on your order date and shipping method. For Sea Freight orders, cancel within 7 days of placing your order for a full refund; after that, cancellations receive a 50% refund. For Air Freight orders, the full-refund window is 3 days from your order date; after that, it's also 50%.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept direct bank transfer, Xero invoice, WeChat Pay or Alipay (for RMB deposits), and credit card (including AMEX) via secure Shopify invoices, or cash for in-person pickup.
What happens if my shipment faces international port or customs delays?
International shipping can occasionally face unforeseen delays due to customs inspections or public holidays. We actively monitor all shipments and provide tracking links. For significant delays, we'll keep you updated and may offer interim gear or a small complimentary gift as thanks for your patience.
