*NEW!* - Quality Smoked Dobari Jissengata Shinai ‘KACHIMAMORI’ - Set of *3*
Made from select cuts of deep smoked Madake Bamboo for a sharp, responsive feel and refined performance balance.

HIBANA is based on our original JUNKI model, a very popular deluxe Jissengata Shinai. Its balance is designed to keep more of the weight closer to the hands, making the tip feel lighter and allowing for sharp, fast strikes with precision and ease.
Designed for Kendoka who prefer a quick, lively feel in the hands, with a tip that moves cleanly and easily through each strike.
Made using deep smoked Bamboo, often referred to as “Bio”, giving the Shinai its rich dark brown colour and distinctive character.
Each HIBANA Jissengata Shiai comes complete with leather fittings, ready for use.
Smoked Shinai are currently popular with many of Japan’s top Kendo practitioners thanks to their feel, appearance, and performance.
Made using deep smoked Bamboo, the smoking process infuses the staves with carbon, which is said to provide additional flexibility and help reduce breakage. For many Kendoka, this means a Shinai that feels both dependable and refined in use.
