They also carefully adjust the thread tension to control the thickness and feel of the Futon. This method results in each Bogu set being crafted with much more care and attention to detail, ultimately increasing its durability.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFurther, the KIRABOSHI Bogu Set also features Gunome-zashi stitching on the Mendare and Tare panels, which not only boosts durability but also provides an elegant appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Mengane is IBB Duralumin, making it lightweight and durable, while the toughened reinforced bars at the strike zone offer added durability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Kote palms of the KIRABOSHI Bogu Set are made from bleached premium Japanese Kotou Deerskin as standard.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: x-small;\"\u003eMeasuring Guide:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0013\/6609\/7967\/files\/IMG_8397_240x240.jpg?v=1641997026\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0013\/6609\/7967\/files\/IMG_8398_240x240.jpg?v=1641997195\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0013\/6609\/7967\/files\/IMG_8399_240x240.jpg?v=1641997407\" alt=\"\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003e(A) Measure from the tip of the chin, to the furthest point at the crown.
