Beautiful and well taken care of package. No issues with the box or the contents, very securely packaged. Great response time and professionalism from the Tozando International customer service team when I thought my package was lost. The belt itself is of course in great condition as well and I am excited to be able to use it!
beautiful sword! perfect balance and amazing design. There are a couple of little things. Mekugi is not installed perfectly, both ends protrude strongly on both sides of the tsuka. And in one place you can see a small gap between the edge of the samegawa and the tsuba
There are so many words to describe my happiness after, and an equal amount to describe my sadness before, having acquired this instrument of the soul.
I recently had the experience of breaking a brand-new practice Shinai a couple of times. I decided to purchase from Tozando International. I am amazed by the quality of Shinai and the carefully packed shipment. I will buy Shinai from Tozando again.
When I started, I cheaped out on the obi. Figured I could get by. It's just a belt. Nope.
This belt has the proper rigidity to hold up the sword securely, and the right texture to allow it to slide without slipping too easily. I bought a second one in another color. There's a reason everyone in my club has one of these.
This is my first cotton iaidogi. The others are tetron. I was surprised by the lack of outer tie. It only has the inner tie, but the result is that it looks neater when worn. The material is good, the texture looks great, and it breathes well.
This is my first cotton hakama. My others have been tetron. I like how the material feels like it has more "body" to it, and the brown color is great. Fits exactly like you'd expect.
I couldn't be happier with my Iaito. The level of detail that was put in is second to none. The quality is top tier, and the shipping was very fast! I will definitely be a repeat customer
A little small to carry two shinai with tsuba, however the material and design are impeccable
It fits the iaito perfectly and makes all the sheathing flow better.
I usually go straight from work to keiko, and a regular duffel bag was not practical for storing my gi, hakama, sandals, my work clothes, and a change of clothes for after. This makes a big difference. Thank you for this awesome product.
I loved my new obi. The engraving is beautiful, and the quality of the material just shows.
The quality is very good.
I use this bag for Iaido.
The bag has enough space for all my training stuff.
I like the fact that it is made of recycled truck tires :)
This Iaito feels so comfortable in hand. All parts are fitted exceptionally.
Well balanced with a snug fit in Saya.
This obi is beautifully crafted and very strong. Well worth the purchase!
This bag is so good! And it's HUGE. I got the regular size Budo Wing (not the XL), and I was a little concerned that my sune-ate would not fit. But they fit sideways in the bag very easily (I wear 44cm size medium sune-ate)! You can see in the pictures just how roomy it is with sune-ate, a men, and kote inside (I do not yet have a dō or tare to show those included in the pictures for comparison, and I should add that my men is on the smaller side for an adult.). There is more than enough room for a small bag with equipment miscellany (tape, sandpaper) as well as my journal.
Once I unpacked it, I was actually MORE concerned that it would be TOO big, haha - I am 5'4", and it's almost longer than my torso! But the back is very heavily padded, the straps are well placed to accomodate thin shoulders, and this is the most comfortable backpack I think I've ever worn.
This bag is going to make taking my gear to practice SO much easier now. And the weather-sealing on the zippers is also a very intelligent touch. Living in Florida means that might be the best feature of all.
I am SO happy with this bag. I'm also very grateful to the Tozando team for patiently answering my questions by phone and email when I was worried about whether the sune-ate would fit, and worried about shipping concerns (the Tozando team shipped this SO FAST). I'm also grateful to them for highlighting this bag in the January newsletter this year, because it really WILL be perfect for cycling to keiko~!
All in all, it's hard to overstate how much I really really love this bag.
It has a nice texture, design, and fits well with my hakama for iaido training.
I got the orange sageo, which isn't easy to find, so having this color available was a big plus. It looks amazing tied to the saya. It's a little bit stiffer than the sageo that came with the iaito, but this helps it keep its shape. I bought the katana sageo (180 cm), which feels a little bit short for iaido practice, so I will be getting the choto one (220 cm) for sure.
