Overview
The Ishizue Bōgu Set represents an exceptional blend of value, protection, and customization. Crafted for the dedicated kendo practitioner, this set is perfectly suited for rigorous training sessions, offering the protection needed to practice with confidence. While mindful of price point, it doesn't compromise on the esteemed craftsmanship synonymous with Shogun Kendogu - especially when it comes to the kote. Beyond its functional resilience, the Ishizue Set provides extensive customization options, allowing for both size and design adjustments to meet individual preferences. It’s an ideal choice for those who seek a tailored fit and personalized flair without the premium price tag.
More Details
The Ishizue Set's Men is constructed with a 'gu no me' stitch for enhanced firmness and the ability to easily conform to the wearer's shape. Durable yet lightweight, it allows for agility and protection where it counts. The Kote are finished with precision in Japan, where the grip and swing of the shinai are enhanced by expertly packed deer hair - ensuring protection without the bulk. The Dou stands with a customary black dou-dai, with extensive customisation options available to align with the practitioner's style. The Tare's design emphasizes comfort, wrapping tightly for a lighter feel without compromising on protection. Its composition caters to the dynamic movements of keiko, making it an integral part of this affordable and functional set of kendogu.
Each piece of the Ishizue Set is designed to support kendo-ka through the rigor of training, ensuring they not only perform but also look their best on the floor.

Buying a Custom Set
The Ishizue Set provides a level of fit and comfort unrivaled by similarly priced off-the-shelf items. Please anticipate a lead time of 4~5 months from payment to dispatch. Due to the customised nature of this kendogu, precise body measurements are essential. For guidance on how to measure yourself for this custom-made set, please follow our detailed instructions. To enhance the custom fit of our handcrafted kote, we've incorporated two additional measurements, 'L' and 'M'. For accurate measurement instructions, please refer to our guide. To the best of your ability, please upload one document (i.e. PDF) with all measurement photos attached. We recommend that you seek the help of others when measuring and taking photos. If the craftsmen are unsure about the place/position of the measurements, we will double check with you before commencing with the build (you don't buy custom gear everyday, so we do everything we can to be thorough with sizes and measurements!)
