KOKUBU - 3mm All Deer Leather Alpha Tare

KOKUBU – 3mm All Deer Leather Tare

The ever-evolving Alpha series welcomes a distinguished new model.
KOKUBU is a lightweight yet highly practical bogu set that combines commanding presence with exceptional functionality—crafted for kendoka who refuse to compromise on quality.

The deep Kodaimurasaki (ancient purple) stitching, inherited from the KOKUBU model, evokes the elegance of traditional tezashi bogu, lending the set a refined and luxurious appearance.
The core padding has been precisely calibrated in both thickness and softness to complement the 3 mm stitching, achieving an ideal balance of flexibility and resilience.

Despite its slim and lightweight futon construction, the bogu maintains excellent structure and firmness—successfully uniting two seemingly opposing qualities: suppleness and crisp form.
Whether for shiai or shinsa, this set offers dependable support, allowing you to perform at your very best on the most demanding stages.

Every detail has been meticulously refined, delivering comfort and usability that far exceed expectations.

TARE

The Tare utilizes the same specially developed shinzai as the Men and Kote, achieving an ideal balance between durability and lightweight comfort without hindering footwork.

The 3 mm stitched odare presents a clean, refined appearance while maintaining firm structure and elegance.
Blending traditional aesthetics with modern performance, this Tare is well suited for shiai, shinsa, and daily keiko.
