This Kata provides essential protection to your chest, shoulder, and lower armpit from the powerful thrusts involved in Jukendo. Stitched to 6mm with a large amount of impact-resilient stuffing the kata is fully reinforced by a rigid Katabana of Suigyuhi - water bufallo skin - then lacquered with black Urushi.

The sleeve below the Katabane is made of black leather with a comfortable cotton reverse lining.

The Kata comes complete with 165cm Himo so it can be easily attached to Jukendo Bogu.
