[Product Description] Fukuro Shinai, 100cm long. Fukuro Shinai is a training tool made of finely split bamboo tips placed in a sheath made of deerskin.It is said to have been inven ted by Kamiizumi Ise no Kami Nobutsuna, the founder of the Shinkage-ryu school.Before the Fukuro Shinai, wooden swords and bladed swords were used in training, which resulted in many injuries.However, the invention of the Fukuro Shinai greatly improved safety during training.450 years have passed since the tool was invented, but in Shinkage-ryu dojos, Fukuro Shinai are still used in almost the same form as they were back then.In modern times, science has advanced and new materials are appearing one after another, but still, no material to replace bamboo has been found.Bamboo is ideal for Fukuro Shinai because it grows quickly, is easy to process, and has excellent elasticity and shock absorption.These characteristics are the reason why Fukuro Shinai is still used today.
