Happy September! Tournament season is starting, and we’re looking forward to seeing so many of you around the US this month!! ✨✈️

We’ll be on the East Coast for the DC Cup, hosted by our Budogu Buddy, Hokubei Budogu, as well as the 36th GNEUSKF Tournament hosted by Shidogakuin NY! We’ll end the month back in SoCal for the SCKF Team Championships.

While we will NOT have a booth at the upcoming FIK Seminar on the 12th–13th, it’s very local to us, so feel free to contact us for any orders you’d like during your visit to California!

And… this is just the beginning 😆 Next month, we’re planning visits to the Midwest, NorCal, and even Brazil. Stay tuned for more upcoming events!! ✨📆

Two beautiful Zekken, and two completely different styles! Which one is your favorite? 😆

One is a special collaboration between Dannoya and the renowned calligrapher, Chiho [智烽], while the other is Dannoya’s original triple layer Zekken, featuring details made with up to three layers of Gouhi leather.

Not just a name, but true works of craftsmanship✨

“Got this last month and have been enjoying practicing with it. I needed a better fitting Do and wanted something subtle and more 'real' looking than your average shiny synthetic.

Took exactly as long for production as he quoted and the price was very competitive. Not affiliated, just a happy repeat customer.”
