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.
Light, Responsive Balance
Designed for Kendoka who prefer a quick, lively feel in the hands, with a tip that moves cleanly and easily through each strike.
Deep Smoked Madake Bamboo
Made using deep smoked Bamboo, often referred to as “Bio”, giving the Shinai its rich dark brown colour and distinctive character.
Complete With Leather Fittings
Each HIBANA Jissengata Shiai comes complete with leather fittings, ready for use.
Favoured By Top Practitioners
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.

Quality and speedy delivery of KendoStar, the Shinai are of course beautiful and looking forward to using on my next Keiko
Second set of three of this “Hibana” series. They are really good! And way more durable than average jissengata shinai. Perfectly fine for everyday keiko use.
As always, KS service second to none. Ordered on Wednesday, got it on Monday, at the other end of the world.
Super nice shinai. Very nice feeling on the hands, it feels head-light but not too much, gives you a good feedback from the tip of your shinai. The bamboo and fittings are first class, and the smoked looks adds a bit of finesse to it.
I'll definitely buy more of these in the future!
As always, quality products and customer service second to none. Order these from Argentina on a Thursday evening, next Wednesday the DHL buy was ringing my bell.
The shinai feel very good in my hands but i have a big problem. They doesn’t smell like they have been smoked at all, and they feel and sound like plastic so the description of deep smoked bamboo is extremely misleading
Beautiful shinai for shiai
The smoked color is awesome, and the balance feels really light on the tip, perfect for shiai. I can´t wait to start using them. As always the service is spotless and the shipping is faster than light.
LIMITED EDITION* Quality Smoked Dobari Jissengata Shinai ‘JUNKI GOLD
I'm very happy with these shinai. The balance is perfect and the quality is outstanding. There is just one downside to these shinai. Now that I've used them I don't want to use my other shinai anymore. I think I'll buy an extra set...
