Naginata Sune-ate

Sune-ate are an essential part of naginata bogu, protecting the shins, knees, and ankles during training. These sune-ate have been carefully developed based on the real-world experience and feedback of practitioners, resulting in highly reliable and comfortable protective equipment.

With a wide range of sizes available, they are designed to accommodate most users.*

The main futon is generously padded and diamond-stitched to provide excellent shock absorption while maintaining a close, comfortable fit along the shin. The fabric is indigo dyed to help prevent mold growth over time. Protection is further reinforced with additional cushioning at the ankles and knees, covered in durable black synthetic leather.

Special attention has been given to the himo construction to reduce the risk of tearing. Each himo is attached with leather reinforcement and features a double-layer structure with extra stitching at stress points—areas where breakage commonly occurs.

The bamboo slats are finished in a matte black coating.

• S and M sizes: 5 slats

• L and LL sizes: 6 slats
  The LL size weighs approximately 1.3 kg per pair.

All of this is completed with high-quality stitching and careful construction for long-term durability and performance.

Sold as a pair.
