A superb rust-preventive mineral oil. Available in 30cc and 100cc.
From Japan to Portugal, it was a long 20 days voyage. It was not the first time I ordered from Tozando, but it's getting increasingly hard. All their products are 5 stars and if you take your Shinken/Iaito maintenance seriously this is the product for you. Having said that, even though Tozando is generous on the shipping manifest, as soon as it arrives in the EU, we are hit with taxes, services, and taxes on top of services. I paid more than half of the total price of the oil + shipping just to get it clear of customs in Portugal. This is Portugal's and EU's fault of course, but I wish Tozando would have their own warehouse in the EU, as there are tens of thousands of martial arts practitioners here too. Rant aside, I completely, 100% recommend all their products, if you can afford the extra taxation in your own country.
I am very satisfied. I am looking forward to next deal.
A great product but service and delivery is so so slow and communication is even slower Tozando really need to lift there game as not competing in the current delivery of product market .
The team at Tozando are efficient, and very easy to deal with, communicates promptly where there are issues. Product works as expected. Delivery mechanism if overseas is quite slow - from shipment from Tozando to final destination. JP tracking ceases once it leaves Japan until delivery day, so this is frustratingly slow.
I ordered the hard shell Travel Case because I need to take my iaito with me when I return home, and bring it back when I'm in Fukuoka. The case is very well constructed, and the zipper that closes the case is heavy duty and rides on sturdy canvas-like fabric. It comes with a carrying handle and a shoulder strap - both of which are built to withstand mistreatment by baggage handlers. The inside of the case is equipped with several velcro secured netted pockets large enough to hold accessories (e.g., bottle of sword oil, cleaning cloths, iaito certificates), and includes two dense foam blocks that cradle both ends of up to two iaito. Velcro straps secure the iaito from moving inside the case. I haven't yet taken this case on a flight yet, but feel confident that I will have no problem checking in this case with my iaito.
By far the highest quality sword cleaning kit I have had. The attention to detail is incredible and even the packaging is beautiful. And the smell of the choji oil is wonderful!
Looks very good, the quality is also excelent!
wow how beautiful, everything went well on Tozando's part, when the shipment arrived in Latvia, the Post took it and waited for more confirmations, what was inside, how I bought it, and it took 2 weeks to finish dealing with them through e-mail,
. had to pay 170 EUR to the Latvian office and only then they sent it to the my house. that's because I live in Latvia and that is the law for us. But I'm satisfied with the appearance and how sturdy Iaito is. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Excellent of quality of work on their uniforms and equipmemt. The training bukado with the groove makes crazy sounds! The uniform doesn't feel like a uniform but like every day wear. That's super comfortable to me. More of a uniform when it calls to become a part of you.
