"This Shinai was based on a Shinai that was given to me by Kim Kyung Nam Sensei. He visited our BUTOKUDEN Dojo a few times for practices. After practice I asked him if I could look at his Shinai and he gave me his Shinai. So had the Shinai sent to our factory to create a Shinai with a similar balance. This Shinai is very close to the Shinai he gave me. For Kim Sensei's fans, this is a must have Shinai."  Taro Ariga CEO (Kendo Kyoshi 7 Dan)

See below a video of a practice of Taro Ariga with Kim Kyung Nam.

Our TOKUSEN Series Shinais are made from a batch of selected Top Quality MADAKE Bamboos. We carefully hand pick the selected bamboos, and each bamboo goes through a rigorous inspection process.




These bamboos are then cut into correct sizes, dried and stored waiting to be transformed into Shinais.


Shinai Making process:

Heat and pressure are applied to the bamboo pieces, in order to make it softer and to be adjusted to be straight.


Each Bamboos is hand placed on a machine to fix the shape.



The Bamboo is placed on the cutter, in order to make the shape of the Shinai.



Then the Bamboo piece is placed on a sanding machine to produce the 45 degrees angle.



Another sanding machine is used to give the touch to the corners of the bamboo pieces.



Then the 4 pieces of Bamboo are placed together and inserted into another sanding machine for the final touch.



Final detailed waxing of the Shinai to give a nice luster to the shinai.
