A genuine kendo-gi (剣道着) upper jacket — the traditional garment worn in kendo, the Japanese art of swordsmanship. This piece was purchased and used in Japan, carrying the quiet discipline of authentic martial arts practice.

Crafted from 100% cotton with classic indigo (藍) dyeing, the heavy weave and structured cut make this an exceptional material for upcycling, textile art, handmade projects, or fashion remakes.

This garment tells an honest story: a small section of the collar hem (approx. 4.5cm × 30cm) has been removed — most likely where a previous owner's name was once embroidered, a common tradition in Japanese martial arts schools. The cut edge is raw and unfinished, adding authentic character to this found object.

Washed twice and ready for its next life.
