This black tsuba features an elegant green dragonfly design, a symbol traditionally associated in Japan with strength, forward movement, and resilience. Its subtle contrast makes it a refined choice for kendoka who want a decorative tsuba that remains understated and suitable for regular training.

Made from durable plastic, this tsuba offers reliable protection for daily keiko while maintaining a clean and balanced look. It is fully reversible, allowing it to be used in shiai by simply turning it so the design faces downward, in accordance with competition etiquette.

Due to the printing process used for the design, a visible line may appear on the surface. This is a normal characteristic of this type of tsuba and does not affect performance, durability, or quality.

Compatible with a wide range of shinai sizes, this tsuba is ideal for practitioners seeking both functionality and a subtle personal touch.
