【Used Twice】Kendo Bogu Set - Equivalent to 5th and 6th Dan Examinations, For Matches

This is a full set of armor purchased from Fukuda Budogu.
The size is large.

When you purchase it, I will wipe it clean before shipping.
The strings are indigo-dyed, so I will wipe them as much as possible without removing the dye.
(My hands are completely blue right now.)
The armor has my family name embroidered on it, but I will send it as is without removing it.
I considered using the armor bag for packaging, but it's quite old, so I'm thinking of putting it in a cardboard box.

I believe it's hand-stitched.
I hope those who know will recognize it.
(Because it cost around 400,000 yen.)

I bought it to compete in a major tournament for work.
I only used it for breaking it in the day before the tournament (about 2 hours in the afternoon)
and on the day of the tournament (warm-up and I remember losing in the second round).
It's been sitting in my armor bag at home ever since.
It didn't get much use because I kept it for matches.
It's a pretty expensive one.

Since it was stored at home, please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned.
I will pack it with all my effort, sending my support to those who will work hard in kendo from now on. Although my packaging might be clumsy.

〇Men (Headgear)
The men tare doesn't have a set shape, so it might feel heavy.
I can't believe I competed in a tournament with this armor when I was practicing jodan (upper stance).
The men tare is a normal length.
I considered buying a shorter one, but I could foresee a future where my teacher would hit me, so I went with the normal length.

〇Kote (Gloves)
These are normal length kote.
When I bought them, I was interested in shorter kote,
especially since I practice jodan, I thought about buying short ones,
but I could foresee a future where my teacher would hit me, so I went with the normal length.
Since I practice jodan, the thumb on my right hand used to get holes often,
but since I only used these for two days, there are no holes.
There isn't even any smell.

〇Do (Body armor)
I didn't tighten the himo (straps) excessively when tying them around my waist, so there are no strange creases.
I thought I hadn't been hit, but there are a few marks, so I guess I was hit.

〇Tare (Apron)
There are no particular stains or scratches.
Naturally, there are no tears in the straps.
