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.
Die Tragetasche ist sehr hochwertig gearbeitet. Der Reißverschluss besitzt zwei Ösen um ein Schloss anzubringen ( in Deutschland sehr wichtig um konform zu gehen mit dem deutschen Waffengesetz um Waffen in der Öffentlichkeit zu transportieren). Der Kauf hat sich gelohnt, um mein Schwert von A nach B transportieren. Vielen Dank, jederzeit gerne wieder.
es mi primer compra, me han gustado mucho las armas peso adecuado y tamaño.
They are excelents, super hard, flexible, and is the second time that I buy this for the quality
Il gi è abbastanza fresco per l'estate e nonostante la trama tradizionale a chicco di riso è morbido e molto comodo; inoltre il color panna sa molto di naturale ed è diverso dal solito bianco puro e dalle nostre abituali divise che sono scure. Ovviamente seguire le tabelle per le taglie.
I ordered a full custom iaito with items available on the suzaku component list, so nothing custom beyond that. Production time went to almost 7 full months. There was no proactive communication on that it had been delayed. The only time i was given information was when contacting customer support, who very graciously assisted with updating me, looked into the situation.
Once item arrived i however noticed that habaki rattles and fuchi (musha) loses the blackened colour almost immediately with clear copper colour now showing through. For $1700, i do expect more. But since it does not seem to affect function and safety, i'll refrain from opening a support matter on the issue assuming sensei approves it for use in dojo. Beyond that, iaito is exactly as intended and will be a joy to grow together with.
By far the highest quality sword cleaning kit I have had. The attention to detail is incredible and even the packaging is beautiful. And the smell of the choji oil is wonderful!
I love everything especially the uniform. Girls love a man in a uniform, from me to you fix the spelling. Everything from your site has been best quality. Look forward to getting my true to size uniforms .
If you're doing jodan, or thinking of doing jodan, probably the most important thing is tsuka length - and that shinai delivers. Aside from that - great balance and the oval grip make it much nicer to use. Tip: get the extra-large tsuba, or you'll end up wasting time trying to enlarge the opening of an old one you have ;)
Simply masterclass. I started my solo sessions a couple months ago—since I don’t have a dojo near me—and I thought that it was finally time to look the part. When I got my uniform I could immediately tell it was high quality. I felt as if the maker had poured their very heart and soul into the uniform. It will surely last for decades, and I will forever cherish it dearly.
Beautiful quality Iaito with amazing balance. Feels perfect in my hands.
It is an awesome item!!
These are the best knee protectors I've ever known. They are very comfortable to wear and are so soft when you kneel on the ground without a twinge in the back of the knee. This is my third pair.
So 5 stars for the product.
Unfortunately last time I bought them there was no extra fee. But now I had to pay about 15$ for shipping and about 20$ extra tax. That's sad!
This Hakama is at the same time lightweight and sturdy while looking very elegant; It is comfortable to wear and the fabric holds its folds very neatly. I bought it in black and olive. The olive Hakama pairs very well with the white Cotton Iaido Gi and a contrasting obi. I love it.
Absolutely exceptional craftsmanship, artistry, and customer service.
We ordered an iaito for my daughter as a meaningful graduation gift, and the entire experience exceeded every expectation. The quality of the piece is extraordinary — elegant, balanced, beautifully finished, and clearly created with care, skill, and respect for the tradition behind it. This was not simply a purchase; it felt like receiving a work of art worthy of a major milestone in her life.
What impressed us just as much as the iaito itself was the customer service. They understood how important it was for this gift to arrive in time for her graduation, and they went above and beyond to rush the order without sacrificing quality. That level of care and personal attention is rare.
My daughter was deeply moved, and we could not be more grateful. The artistry, professionalism, communication, and commitment to making this special moment happen were all truly five-star. I would recommend them without hesitation to anyone looking for a beautiful, high-quality iaito or katana and a company that genuinely cares about its customers.
The AG600 is a very nice, very well made dogi. I am accustomed with a couple entry level judo gi, and two very nice Mizuno double weave judo gi, as well as a Mizuno single weave judo gi. I love the flexibility of the Tozando dogi, and the fit is just as I expected for a size 6. The only concerning issue for me is the outer surface of the weave developed a uniform fuzz after only two washings (on gentle cycle). My Mizuno gis have been thru much harder practices for many years, and many washings, and have never shown the fuzzy issue. Maybe it's a different type of cotton? Either way, the AG600 is still a beautiful dogi to workout in, and will probably last many years. If I order from Tozando again, I may get a 300 or 500 model to see if it differs.
I'm in Hong Kong for work and I took the opportunity to order some accessories for my shinai from Tozando. Everything is perfect, and above all, the prices here are excellent compared to having them shipped to Italy!
Perfect training sword IT hears when blade on right direction when swinging
Very light, fast drying, rather classical look, Good value for money
4 months, running strong. great for everything except for protection. but than they would be too heavy and very sweaty. they are durable. but if people constantly miss your kote, you going to feel it, good idea to have that protective glove under your kote, but that's pretty much for any kote.
