This Daruma Tsuba features a striking red Daruma design on a black background, symbolizing perseverance and determination in Japanese culture. It is a popular choice among both junior and adult kendoka who want to personalize their shinai without compromising functionality.

The tsuba is reversible, making it suitable for shiai by simply turning it so the design faces downward. Made from durable plastic, it offers reliable protection during daily keiko.

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