“GENTEN” Master Quality NAGAZASHI Kendo Bogu

"I have been working on a Bogu that will mark our 15th anniversary, a Bogu that all Kenshis will enjoy wearing. So I dug out a Bogu that I got from my Bogu making Sensei, which I enjoyed wearing it form the day one, but I had it stored because I felt sorry to use it. He always emphasized that the main purpose of a Kendo Bogu is to protect your body, the most important thing that your parents gave you. The ideal Bogu should be simple, in harmony with your body, and not to be a burden wearing it. We made the GENTEN Bogu simple, but with emphasis on details that only Kenshis would appreciate. For example, in order to fit your face from day one, we have re-designed the Men Uchiwa, also called as Houwa, the inside piece of the Men that is always in contact with your face. The Kote is shaped as if you were holding the Shinai. You can wear it comfortably form day one. The Tare is very soft, and the more you use, it will look better on your Body. We used only the best material, such as top quality Shoaizome deer leather and fabrics are used throughout the Bogu. The stitching on the futons is NAGAZASHI, which was a technique used only on hand stitched Bogus in the olden days. It provides the softness to fit the body, as well as the beautiful shape when wore by the Kenshis. Extra padding are inserted in areas where more impact is expected, such as on the top part of the Men Futon and the Kote Futon. Our signature Hybrid Mengane is used for longer durability and exceptional balance. The Japanese word ‘GENTEN’ means ‘Origin’, or ‘Starting Point’. We named it ‘GENTEN’ because after 15 years, we are here again, at the GENTEN of Bogu making.” (Taro Ariga, CEO E-BOGU.COM, Inc. Kendo 7th Dan)

5 of 5 quality, comfort March 15, 2023
Reviewer: Anonymous Person from Australia  
First up I bought this from overseas and had incredible assistance in ensuring that each piece of the bogu was the correct size. This took time, but the sizes I had selected without assistance were not correct, so for a perfect fit, I recommend reaching out for assistance. I got a perfectly fitted bogu as a result.
The quality is high and the comfort is excellent. The rich smell of the deerskin is a big part of the joy of this bogu. The aoi cloth does stain the skin to begin with. I'm very happy with my choice.
