"I have designed this Shinai while trying to select a Shinai that I will be using at the upcoming 8 Dan Shinsa. I say "Kotogata Tsukatan" Shinai because it has a short Tsuka (the knot of the bamboo is about 1 inch closer to your right hand, compared to regular Shinais). I always preferred short Tsukas, so I used to place Short Tsukas on a 39 Shinai, but that would leave a large gap between the Tsuka and the Knot of the bamboo, which made the Shinai look unbalanced and tip heavy. By selecting a bamboo with the Knot (where the weight is concentrated) closer to your right hand, it provides the Dobari effect, by bringing the center of gravity close to the hands. Shinai No22 Shinai has all the characteristics of a Kotogata shinai, but it has the weight balance of a Dobari Shinai." (Taro Ariga, CEO E-BOGU.COM, Inc. Kendo Kyoshi 7 Dan)

5 of 5 My favorite shinai style December 14, 2023
Reviewer: Anonymous Person from Manila, Philippines  
Second time buying a set of 2. My last purchase was in May of 2022, and now its Dec 2023. One of the previous ones got a crack in one of the shafts but that was entirely my fault as I was using too much force, but my second one has lasted me a whole year and its in great condition with regular sanding and oiling. I just bought another set just in case my current one gives out. The tsuka also stretches out a fair bit. Compared to the new set I just received, my old tsuka had stretched about an inch.

Overall, really great shinai. Will be using this for years to come.

Reviewer: Anonymous Person  
This style has helped me significantly, the shorter grip allows me a more nature posture and reinforces better technique personally.  I had used the longer or standard tsuka before and I had found it was causing some stress to my deltoid and I ended up with deltoid tendonitis, having changed to this style has mostly if not entirely alleviated the issue.  This will be the second time I've purchased this style, I also find it well balanced.

5 of 5 Not Like Anything Else October 31, 2020
Reviewer: Harry Goh from Seattle  
This is the one and only shinai in this kind of concept. It is a perfect shinai for those who pursue ichibyoshi one shot type kendo. Don't get me wrong. I don't mean you'll like it out of box. It takes lots of practices until you understand the value of No 22. I love this model!
