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".

Keiko White Tetron Iaido & Kendo Hakama
Made in Japan | White
Material: Tetron (65% polyester / 35% rayon)
Shrinkage: 0% | Weight (size 26): 0.85 kg
Shape: Classic Kendo/Iaido Cut
As usual, this Hakama is fully made in Japan (fabric, cut, and stitching). Made of the same polyester/rayon composite fabric as our popular Aikido Hakama Training, it is durable, solid, and comfortable. The fabric is slightly thicker and stronger than the one used by other manufacturers for Kendo or Iaido Hakama, the Koshiita presents extra stitchings, and the lateral vents are reinforced with an added piece of fabric.
Overall, it is very easy to maintain due to a special high-pressure pressing treatment which durably fixes the pleats and keeps them perfectly in place, making it easier to hand-wash and dry on a hanger. The color may slightly fade after the first wash but will hold much more than Aizome on cotton fabric. It is recommended mostly for daily training and intense practice.
White outfit is traditional in Seitei-Iai and for some Koryu. It is usually considered a symbol of purity, and some say it is a reference to the white cloth the deceased are dressed in: it would be a reminder of how you are supposed to kill your ego through the practice of Iaido. In any case, it is very often required to match the color of the Hakama with the Jacket’s color.
Although the traditional navy color is usually preferred among the male Kendo practitioners, women and children can be seen wearing white Hakama regularly. However, another really famous and exceptional use for a white outfit in Kendo is the Imperial Guard, supposedly as a symbol of purity due to their proximity to the Emperor.
Please note that this product is not customizable. Please refer to our other Hakama for custom-made options.
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 stitchings are 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.Keiko White Tetron Hakama - Size Chart Your height Size Hakama Length Strap Length 150 cm ~ 155 cm 22 83 cm Front strap: 330 cm
