Tokuren Keishi Gata kote

My new Kote arrive today, Tokuren Keishi Gata from Miayko Kendogu.

Very happy with them after one keiko. The fist is shaped a lot more than normal kote, and fits very well. The trim around the fist that keeps the tenouchi-gawa on is a bit stiff, but this will break in quickly (like my other kote from Miyako)

I'm very happy with them, I think in a month or two, when properly broken in they will be really great.
