Mine Kinsei - 6mm Orizashi Kote

Light, flexible, and simply a joy to wear

I was looking for a new pair of kote to alternate with my current leather ones. Since my previous pair was also from Mitsuboshi — and unfortunately no longer available — I decided to try these. What immediately struck me was the fit: they’re absolutely perfect. I didn’t even have to break them in — they felt great from the very first moment. The freedom of movement is excellent, and I honestly feel like my kendo has improved since I started using them. They’re light, flexible, offer great protection, and dry incredibly fast after practice. In short: I’m absolutely thrilled with them! Kadir Boekhoute Belgium
