JINRAI Fully Synthetic Washable Kote

Flexible, protective, easy to wash, and ready for serious practice straight out of the box.

The JINRAI Fully Synthetic Washable Kote are designed for Kendoka who train hard, practise often, and need Kote that can keep up. Built entirely from synthetic materials, they are flexible, fast drying, easy to care for, and ideal for intensive use.

Strictly Limited Edition

JINRAI is a strictly limited edition release, produced in limited quantities and available only while stocks last.

Once the current stock has sold out, we cannot guarantee when, or if, this model will be available again.

Built for Real Keiko

Kote take a lot of punishment. They absorb sweat, receive repeated strikes, and are often one of the hardest working parts of your Bogu. JINRAI has been created to solve a simple problem: how do you make a pair of Kote that are practical enough for heavy practice, comfortable enough to use immediately, and easy enough to clean whenever needed?

The answer is a fully synthetic Kote that feels flexible from the start, dries quickly after use, and can even be washed when required.

100% Synthetic, Washable, and Fast Drying

Because JINRAI is made entirely from synthetic materials, it is an excellent choice for regular Keiko, hard practice, hot weather training, and anyone who wants a reliable practice Kote that is easy to maintain.

Key Features

  • Strictly limited edition release
    Produced in limited quantities and available only while stocks last.
  • Completely synthetic construction
    No leather, no complicated care routine, and no need to treat them like delicate traditional Kote.
  • Machine washable
    JINRAI can be washed in a washing machine when needed. We recommend placing the Kote inside a washing net or old pillowcase before washing.
  • Quick drying
    Designed to dry much faster than traditional leather palm Kote, making them ideal for regular and intensive practice.
  • Super flexible from the start
    Ready to use straight out of the box, with no long break in period required.
  • Built in shock absorbing right forearm pad
    Extra padding on the right forearm helps absorb impact, making these Kote especially useful for receiving repeated strikes during Keiko.
  • Excellent for practice and intensive use
    A practical, hard working Kote for Kendoka who train often, teach, receive strikes, or simply want a dependable everyday pair.

Ready Straight Away

Traditional Kote often need time to soften and settle into the hand. JINRAI is designed to feel flexible and easy to use immediately, helping you get straight into practice without fighting against stiff new equipment.

Ideal as a Main Practice Pair or Spare Pair

JINRAI is a great option as a regular practice Kote, a second pair for heavy training weeks, or a reliable backup pair to keep in your Bogu bag.

Extra Protection Where It Matters

The built in shock absorbing pad on the right forearm makes these Kote particularly useful for Motodachi, instructors, and anyone receiving repeated Kote strikes in regular Keiko.

Washing and Care

These Kote can be washed when needed. For best results, place them inside a washing net or old pillowcase and use a gentle cycle.

After washing, reshape the Kote gently by hand and allow them to air dry naturally in a well ventilated area. Do not tumble dry.
