About BUDOGU ZEN
Do you use a kendo bogu created by Japanese craftsman?
Budogu Zen is established with the motivation to spread Japanese tradition to North America.
The history of kendo and the history of kendo bogu is related to each other. Since the Edo Period, kendo bogu has supported the development of kendo in modern days. Now, kendo is recognized not only within Japan but internationally.
There are only three kendo bogu factories in Japan. Additionally, there are dozens of craftsmans who produce bogu individually. The production of kendo bogu in Japan is not high. However, you can feel the history of both kendo and kendo bogu from the commitment in selecting good materials and the dedication to make a comfortable bogu.
What kind of Kendo Bogu is necessary for Kendoka?
Looking flashy? Affordable price?
We've been practicing kendo for a long period of time. However, we didn't have many opportunities to know the quality of kendo bogu made in Japan. It is not the appearance, but you can feel the difference by actually holding it in your hands. You can no longer use a different kendo bogu. This is something that you can not express it in words. This is us, Budogu Zen.

武道具 禅について
あなたは日本人職人が作った剣道具を持っていますか？
日本の伝統を北米の剣道家に届けたい。という思いから武道具禅はできました。
剣道の歴史は剣道具の歴史と対をなしています。剣道具は江戸時代から現代にいたるまで剣道の発展を支えてきました。そして剣道は日本から海を渡り、今日では世界中で親しまれています。
日本には現在3社しか剣道具工場はありません。さらに個人で製作される「職人」と呼ばれる人は数十人。日本製剣道具の生産量は多くはありません。しかし、素材にこだわり、手間を惜しまず１つ１つ丁寧に作られた剣道具の使いやすさは、剣道の歴史と同様に長い歴史を感じさせます。
剣道家に必要な剣道具とは？
見た目の派手さ？値段の安さ？
私たちも長年剣道をしています。しかし、日本製防具の良さを知る機会は多くはありませんでした。見た目ではわからない、しかし手に取れば違いを感じる。長年使えばそれ以外は使えない。言葉ではなかなか言い表せない違いを皆様にお伝えする。そんな武道具店です。
