FURIN Koban Premium Shinai for Women

Are you looking for a shinai that’s perfectly suited to fast, precise techniques in women’s competition? Then the FURIN women’s shinai from Kendo24 is exactly the right choice. This Koban shinai from Japan is specially designed to meet the needs of kendōka who want to combine control, speed and clear strikes.

Balanced for fast, precise technique

The FURIN is crafted in the Dobari style and is clearly balanced towards the grip. The oval Koban grip sits particularly securely and ergonomically in the hand – ideal if you want to execute quick technique changes, subtle angles and clear striking moments in shiai.

The slender ribs taper towards the kensen. This ensures rapid acceleration, direct feedback during movement and a highly controlled feel during small, precise techniques.

In short:
less struggling with the shinai – more focus on your technique.

Tradition meets competition performance

With the FURIN women’s shinai, you get a lightweight, competition-oriented training tool that is nonetheless deeply rooted in the Japanese shinai tradition.

Measuring 3.9 shaku in length (approx. 120 cm) and weighing over 450 g, it is tailored to the demands of women’s competitions and helps you combine clean technique with tactical clarity – in both keiko and shiai.

🛡️ SSP-certified – Tested safety from Japan

This shinai bears the official SSP (Shinai Safety Promotion) label .
The certificate was introduced by the Zen Nihon Budogu Kyodo Kumiai in collaboration with the Zen Nihon Kendo Renmei.

the FURIN women’s shinai is a reliable companion on your journey in kendo.
