Budogu Zen proudly introduces our new EXCLUSIVE Kote, SENPU, meticulously developed and crafted with care. Our master craftsman, Kazuki Unzei, is the inventor of the patented technology behind the Tornado Stitch Futon. This kote is not mass-produced—it is a carefully engineered piece of equipment, available only through Budogu Zen.
Bogu is essential to our daily keiko, and with frequent use, odor buildup is unavoidable. That’s why low-maintenance kote—especially machine-washable ones—are highly appealing to kendoka of all levels.
At the same time, protection should never be compromised. A kote that offers superior impact absorption is critical for safe, consistent training. This is where the patented Tornado Stitch Futon, developed by our craftsman, truly stands out.
Until now, no kote has successfully combined machine washability with high-level protection.
That changes today.
We have created the ideal kote for intensive training and for anyone who prioritizes maximum protection without sacrificing convenience.
This product is exclusively available through Budogu Zen.
