Kendo hand-stitched Tare

Hand-stitched 1.0 Bu

Excellent Condition L-LL Size Premium Kendo Bogu 1.0 Bu
Hand-stitched

This tare was acquired from a high-ranking sensei about 2 years ago.
It is so magnificent that I hesitated to use it, which led to this listing.
I believe it was purchased about 20 years ago.
It is said that the full set of bogu cost 800,000 yen at the time of purchase, and it was custom-made as a commemorative item upon achieving 7th dan.
It has been used less than 10 times, still has firmness, no loss of shape, and is in very beautiful condition.
The decorative stitching is done in blue with great care, clearly showcasing the craftsman's skill.
(※Due to age, the overall indigo dye has faded.
I considered re-dyeing, but there was a possibility of the blue stitching also being dyed, so I am listing it in its current condition.)

Tare Futon: Navy Deer Skin
8-dan decoration
Size: Adult L-LL
Overall width 78cm, width 53cm, height 39cm

There are no frays, tears, or damage overall.
With its 8-dan decoration, it looks impressive and maintains a dignified appearance, making it suitable for practice sessions, matches, and examinations.

I would be happy if someone could use it with care.
