I have a few non-Japanese made sageo that bunched up - definitely inferior.
This sageo does not bunch up and I would give it a 10 for quality. It is, though, a bit thicker and the knot a few inches from the kurigata is a bit larger than I am used to. I don't consider this a defect, although I did not expect this thick of a sageo. Functionally, it is fine.
I was forced to pay COD charges in order to receive my shipment 1Z433283D972262027 On delivery, UPS required a payment of $247 for tariffs and brokerage fees — representing 61% of the purchase price of the item. I had no choice but to pay these charges or risk my package being held in limbo.
Prior to the payment, I reached out to UPS multiple times for clarification. Unfortunately, I was given the runaround from one department to another. Eventually, I was told that the brokerage department could only be contacted by email. On August 11, 2025, I sent a detailed email to the brokerage team, but over a month has passed with no response whatsoever.
This lack of transparency, accountability, and communication is unacceptable. As a customer, I deserve a clear breakdown of these excessive charges and a timely response to my inquiries. To date, I have received neither.
Hi Neil!
Thank you very much for taking the time to leave us a review! We are terribly sorry for the issues relating to import tariffs. While we are doing our best to work with our courier partners to make importing these items as smooth as possible, the new changes in policu have made this a bit difficult. We will continue to be more than happy to assist in any way possible and provide any materials the courier may require. Again, we are deeply sorry for this unfortunate situation.

Beautiful tetsukon color ! Great quality !!! Thank you very much.
The towel is very, very thin very small not my favorite product from this company. Didn't look like the picture.
Hi Robby!
Was this review for our 'Tozando' Towel or for this Tenugui by chance? Tenugui are very thin fabric towels and this would be on par with what we would expect.
Sincerest regards,
Tozando International Team
The left kote I received was uncomfortable and smaller than the right one, and there's a Tozando patch on these kote that isn't in the images.
Great quality product, fast shipping, exactly as described and user friendly website. Have been doing business with Tozando for many years and they never fail on quality and satisfaction. Thank You!!
I love the way it looks and how it feels, now I just have to wait for my tsuba
Excelente y muy puntual el servicio de entrega. Y la calidad de los productos recibidos, son perfectos.
100% recomendable.
Calidad superior en los materiales del bokken. Super recomeniendo !!!! Me ha hecho muy feliz
I have a larger head size (73 cm), which makes finding properly fitting men quite challenging, as most standard sizes do not accommodate me. Tozando initially asked me to test their men and provided a size 72—the largest they offered at the time. While it was slightly too small for me to wear comfortably, the data collected demonstrated outstanding protection, far exceeding that of other men I’ve tried. Recognizing this, Tozando responded by creating a 73 cm men, which I immediately purchased.
The fit is excellent, and after enduring multiple strikes from my American kenshi, I can confidently say it performs superbly. The bottom line: this is an exceptional men that provides top-tier protection—even against training partners built like bodybuilders with biceps larger than my waist.
Hello, I'm using approximately 50 units of Rayon Kakucho Sageo. I think it's of excellent quality and goes well with good knives. We're also ordering silk Sageo, so please prepare the stock well. We'll work hard to order from now on. Thank you.
I recieved my iaito today. It is so beautiful and wellmade, save for the detail that the sword cannot pass the entire habaki into koiguchi. I have done noto a few times and even had a minor amount of choji oil to see if it helps. But i'll wait for a bit to see if it is weather related, but it is not a perfect fit
Thank you so much for your feedback! The koiguchi can sometimes be quite tight when the iaito are new. As these will become loosened with use, the workshop can make them initially quite tight fitting. While we recommend not forcing the noto completely, we do believe that with use the habaki will eventually have snug fit.
I got a Tozando bokken many years ago as a gift and was amazed with the quality. Now I thought a bo of the same quality may also be good. The difference in handling is hard to describe but I‘m excited to work with it in the dojo. Thanks Tozando, keep up the great work!
Siiii me llego un poco tarde pero me gusta mucho siii es bien lindo y suave
A smart looking bow, and nicely finished and detailed. The package included a leather grip wrap, two strings, fibre for nocking points and a cloth bow bag, so everything needed to prepare it for shooting. I look forward to using what seems to be a very nice bow.
Just as ordered. Love the logos on the white belt and the quality of the material. It was exactly as pictured.
