Standard Smoked Shinai – TANKA

The TANKA is a high-quality, versatile smoked Shinai suitable for all levels of Kendo and a wide range of Keiko.

The bamboo undergoes a controlled heat treatment that gives the Shinai its distinctive smoked appearance and helps stabilise the material, making it less sensitive to variations in ambient humidity. This makes the TANKA a reliable choice for regular practice, particularly in environments where humidity levels can vary significantly.

Made in Japan, each Shinai is carefully assembled using selected bamboo slats and leather components, then individually adjusted by hand.
