Seido Tenugui - Seishin Itto Nanigoto ka Narazaran
Made in Japan
This traditional Tenugui (Japanese hand towel) can be used as such in Kendo, Nippon Kempo or Jukendo but also as small towel to wipe off sweat during practice.
In the center is the logo of the Seido brand, the Kanji "Do" or "Michi", found in Aikido, Judo, Karatedo etc. which means "way".
Roughly translated as "where there is a will, there is a way", this well known proverb "Seishin Itto Nanigoto Ka Narazaran" means more precisely "when the mind is concentrated, nothing is impossible".
Please hand-wash in cold water before first use.
External resource: the origin of the tenugui (off site).

Here are all the designs we offer and their meaning:

- The Aikido embroidery is based on a calligraphy found in the main dojo of Aikikai Hombu Dojo. It was created by Morihei Ueshiba O-Sensei when he was 80 years old, a period in his life when his calligraphy reached its peak. Note that the depth and extension of ideograms are a sign of an open mind.
- The "Ki' embroidery is based on the same calligraphy as the "Aikido embroidery" but only contains the second kanji "Ki".

- Karatedo - Gyoshotai (cursive font)

Optionally, you can add your name as embroidery. It will be embroidered on the left of the bottom part (same high as the Seido label), with a font size of 2 cm by 2 cm.

'Cashmere Touch' Aikido Training Hakama
Made in Japan | Black or Navy
Material: Cashmere Touch polyester (100% polyester)
Shrinkage: 0% | Weight (size 26): 1.10 kg
Shape: Reinforced Aikido cutBorn from the success of the Keiko Tetron Aikido Hakama and from customer requests for a heavier and better-looking model, the 'Cashmere Touch' Aikido Training Hakama is a combination of the Traditional Cashmere Touch model and the Keiko Tetron Aikido Hakama. The fabric is the same as the traditional model's.
Almost as good-looking as the Tradition version, this model is the best compromise between a "hard daily training" Hakama and a good-looking Hakama made for demonstrations. If you want a good look but only get to buy one Hakama, that's the model to go!The "cashmere touch" polyester fabric provides durable quality, a slight stretch effect, and a weight almost as heavy as cotton.
The overall shape of this model is identical to the Keiko model. Designed for intense practice it presents many reinforced parts. While the traditional versions are partially hand-sewn (Koshiita, lateral vents, and some inner sewing), the Keiko model is completely machine-sewn. The Koshiita is made of thick Clarino material (Japanese synthetic leather) which allows stitching and fixing the fabric directly onto the plate. We also noticed that the Clarino Koshiita is more comfortable to wear than the thicker rubber plates when taking Ukemi (but also more expensive than rubber). The lateral vents are reinforced with an added piece of fabric and the front and back straps are slightly larger than those of the other models. The pleats are pressed with a high-pressure industrial press which durably fixes the pleats. Easy to fold and maintain, this model may be hand-washed and dried on a hanger (securing the folds using clothespins) without the risk of losing the pleats or damaging the fabric.Due to the stretch effect of the fabric, we have made the straps slightly shorter than they are on the Tetron version. The straps will stretch, which, despite their shorter length, will fit the same waist/hips size as the Tetron version.
The stretching effect on the straps will allow to tie the Hakama more firmly, so we especially recommend this model to practitioners feeling their Hakama coming up and getting loose during practice. This is why we have not fitted the straps with a cotton core, which would have drastically reduced the stretching effect.Please note that this product is not customizable. Please refer to our other Hakama for custom-made options.
Strap length:
Size 24 -> Back strap: 180 cm / Front strap: 400 cm = up to ~ 90 cm in waist
From size 24.5 -> Back strap: 190 cm / Front strap: 420 cm = up to ~ 95 cm in waist.As all our Hakama, this model is fully made in Japan (fabric, cut, and stitching). The color may slightly fade after the first wash.
Option (made to order): sewing of the inside pleats
Though synthetic Hakama are quite easy to maintain, we offer to sew the inner pleats to make the folding as easy as possible. The pleats are sewn on the inside and therefore the stitching is completely invisible when worn. The result however is that the pleats are better kept, and the "puffed out" aspect of the Hakama will be reduced.Classic & Keiko Tetron Aikido Hakama - Comparative chart Finish/model Keiko Model Traditional Model Fabric Cashmere touch polyester Cashmere touch polyester Koshiita Clarino Rubber Koshiita stitching Machine sewn onto the Clarino fabric Hand sewn (invisible) Front straps 7 lines of stitching / 4.2 cm width
