Équipement de Budo
100% Made in Japan

We are a family of Aikidokas and have bought all our wooden weapons through Seido at various times. Their service is great.
The quality of the white oak, craftsmanship and finish is excellent. They feel solid and well-balanced, and are suitable for vigorous practice.
I recommend getting each item engraved. They do a beautiful job and it is very useful to be able to identify your own bokken, jo and tanto, especially when training at a different dojo or at a seminar.

Exactly as described, great quality, true to size and the shipping was incredibly fast.

今回、初めて朱子の黒帯を購入させていただきました。美しい光沢とほど良い柔らかさがあり、期待通りの帯でした。長く使わせていただきます。

The "Classic Kitatami Setta" sandals are elegant, stylish, and easy to clean. Their quality craftsmanship ensures both durability and comfort, making them a perfect choice for any occasion.

Excellent workmanship. I was surprised that I received the 3 Jo so fast (Netherlands). I have ordered from Seido before but it has been several years. I have a large heavy-duty carry bag and needed a light-weight one. I am very satisfied.

I collect Nihonto and recently became aware of the state of the Japanese wooden weapon industry through the Seido blogs on the subject. Although I do not practice Budo, I wanted to acquire a bokken to support the industry and to handle a Japan-sourced piece. I am very happy with this purchase!
Compared with the elevated prices of nihonto, I consider the investment required to acquire a piece made by one of the industry masters an incredible bargain. There is a significant amount of highly-skilled handwork (and artistry!) involved in producing such a piece, let alone the scarcity of supply of raw materials. At even the current (elevated?) prices, I do not believe that the manufacturers are being sustainably compensated for their work.
This particular bokken is outstanding. It has elegant sori, complex and compound angles and facets to the "blade" and tip, and a beautiful finish. The quality is obvious.
I plan on acquiring more bokken in the future. Seido's informative website, communication through the purchase, and incredibly fast and reasonable shipping charge are a stellar example of how online merchants should conduct business.
I give this purchase TEN stars!

Produit de qualité même pour un modèle de base. J'achèterais les yeux fermé sur ce site. Délais de livraison rapide. Seul bémol, Fedex !
Merci Seidoshop.

Not that it is the most important thing about my hakama, but the speed in which Seido got it too me is nothing short of a wonderful miracle!!! Using the DHL company, my hakama left Tokyo, Japan and arrived in North Carolina US in FIVE DAYS total, which included a Saturday and Sunday!!!!! That has never happened to me before even with continental deliveries within The States!!!
This is my first experience with Seido, and after several attempts with other budo suppliers here and overseas, I was finally very pleased with the hakama that I ordered. It is well presented online, and accurately. Sizing, which has been troubling with other companies, was very accurately defined by Seido online. This one fits PERFECTLY. Seams are tight and well-pressed, material is exquisite and comfortable. Straps are all generously lengthened and easily tied. The smaller back-pad is comfortable as well without excess rubbing. I am extremely pleased with Seido in every way, and they will certainly become my first choice for every Budo item that I will be needing in the future!!!
私の袴について最も重要なことではありませんが、Seido がそれを私に届けてくれた速さは、素晴らしい奇跡に他なりません!!! DHL 社を利用して、私の袴は東京を出発し、土曜日と日曜日を含む合計 5 日で米国ノースカロライナに到着しました!!!!! 米国大陸内の配送でも、これまでこのようなことは一度もありませんでした!!!
Seido との初めての経験で、国内外の他の武道サプライヤーと何度か試した後、ようやく注文した袴にとても満足しました。オンラインでよく提示され、正確です。他の会社では問題になっていたサイズは、Seido のオンラインでは非常に正確に定義されていました。これは完璧にフィットします。縫い目はタイトでよくプレスされており、素材は絶妙で快適です。ストラップはすべて十分に長く、簡単に結べます。小さめのバックパッドも、過度に擦れることなく快適です。私はあらゆる点でセイドーに非常に満足しており、将来必要になるすべての武道用品について、セイドーが間違いなく私の第一選択肢になるでしょう!!! 誠道のスタッフと経営陣に心から感謝します!

La première prise en main est assez agréable, il est maniable et de belle conception.
Il faut s’habituer au changement de poids du iaito par rapport au bokken que j’utilisais jusqu’à présent.
Je ne regrette pas mon achat 👍🏻 merci pour vos magnifiques produits !
Expédié le lundi depuis le Japon, livré le vendredi matin même en France.

This sageo is exactly what I was looking for. I needed a rigid, thick one and this one really is. Wonderful for reiho practice. Thank you.

いつも迅速な発送ありがとうございます。星道様の色帯は色がが綺麗で、作りもしっかりしており、刺繍も綺麗で丁寧に仕上げてくれます。試合がない合気道、帯を楽しみに頑張っている子も多いです。今回も大喜びでさらに稽古へのモチベーションがあがった模様です。感謝

今回、初めてブナの杖(8分)を注文しました。軽量なので痛めている右肘への負担が少なく、仕上げをデラックスでお願いしたので手触り・質感も良く満足しております。ありがとうございました

Housse conforme à la description, bien pensée.

This iaito is simply gorgeous. I ordered an extra long blade (2.55) with a matching tsuka, and worried about the weight of it. But the balance is fantastic, it feels so delightful to swing. The craftsmanship, as well, is superb. You can see that the folks who made it care.

I got the white Waraku in size 3, I’m 173,5cm and 90+ kg and the jacket fits great. The stitching pattern looks distinguished and creates sort of small air pockets between the fabric and your skin, making it light and highly effective in wicking away sweat. This is by some margin the most comfortable cotton iaidogi I have worn.

The shrinkage during the first 1-2 delicate 30’C cycles was minimum, only 2-3cm from the hem, while other measurements remained and have remained ever since unchanged. I use a wash bag, turn the jacket inside out before placing in the bag and my front-loading washing machine and only use a mild liquid sports equipment detergent. Hang to dry on a coat hanger in the shade and you are good to go in a matter of hours. Highly recommended, I will probably get another one in black later on.
