I think that it is happy only to do contact by the telephone (Or fax). 2-22 Naka-Machi Nagasaki City Nagasaki JAPAN 850-0055 TEL.+81-95-821-0037 FAX.+81-95-821-0457 Five minutes on foot from JR Nagasaki Station I (manager on this homepage) play the kendo by the hobby, and am not a professional. It is thought that the kendo tool(bougu) is the traditional craft goods of which Japan boasts to the world. EIBU-DO is a kendo shop that makes a traditional bougu of a high quality from a good material of Japan. My bougu was made here. Production representative's name is Mr.SATO and Mr.TABIRA. Mr.SATO went to world championship (Glasgow) as a manufacturer of the bougu in 2003. EIBU-DO is a famous shop also in Japan that does the bougu custom-made. They know the kendo very well. The question came from the kendo player of Australia. (3rd. February 2004) My friend replied to this. He is an English teacher and is also a kendo player. Dear Mr. Big-jun1 My name is XXXX XXXX from Australia. I'm planning to buy my own bogu as I'm going to restart Kedo training soon. I've been looking through lots of kendo equipment shops on internet, however, without any help it is very hard to find a suitable bogu for myself. As I'm only a beginner, I don't have huge budget to buy expensive bogu yet. As you may know already, China and Korea have been manufacturing bogu for a while and many people here in Australia recommended me to buy Korean made 2-3mm machine stitched bogu set rather than Japanese one because of big price difference. Your bogu set looks great in the picture and I'm very interested in finding out more about bogu at Eibu-do. Would you be able to give me some idea on price if I want to buy 1. a bogu set somewhere between 2-3mm machine stitched. 2. or any price list of Eibudo bogu set. All the best with your Kendo training and look forward to hearing from you soon. kind regards XXXX XXXX New kendo-gi(wear) A lot of foreigners order EIBU-DO the kendo-gi(wear). Because usual kendo-gi(wear) is made for a Japanese body and no squids in the size of the foreigner. It is and because of a very good quality. The kendo-gi(wear) of EIBU-DO uses a new soft cloth like handmade. Vividly thick blue (AI color). It measures neatly because a semi-order. It is good at tailoring. However, a cheap price. I think it is good when the hakama is made at the same time. It is necessary to go to EIBU-DO because the person who orders has measuring. The production period is about three weeks. (\23,000) * Lower Special bamboo Shinai MADAKE I think that artistic wonderful bamboo shinai. But, I'm sorry the feature of this bamboo shinai is not expressible in my English language skill. First KOTE in the world named NYOKO The rotation of the wrist is smooth. A quick technique can be shown. The kendo player all over the world is using it. (I am using it too.) (Please click these photographs.) My bougu Made by Mr.Yoshifumi SATO Please contact EIBU-DO by telephone basically. EIBU-DO doesn't have e-mail. However, the question to EIBU-DO may send me e-mail.
