About the SEIRAN Men
The SEIRAN Men features full Orizashi construction reinforced with premium synthetic deerskin. This creates a durable, attractive, and practical finish suited to regular Keiko.
The Futon is hand-sewn, with the main strike zones using 2 Bu, approximately 6mm, wide stitching for reliable protection and a reassuring feel when receiving strikes.
What “Hand-Sewn” Means in the HI NO MARU Series
In the HI NO MARU Series, “hand-sewn” means that each individual Futon is sewn using a sewing machine without mechanical guides. This allows the craftsperson to skilfully apply each row of stitching with careful control of tension, thickness, and feel.
This method gives the Men a more carefully finished construction, with a level of attention that helps improve durability, comfort, and overall quality.
