[Nihon Kendogu Seisakusho] Red Mugen ∞ Armor Set – World Championship Model

This is the model used by the Japanese representatives at the 16th World Kendo Championships.

The mask, gloves and hangings are all stitched with a grid pattern spaced 6mm apart.
This alone would be the same as traditional lattice-stitched armor, but by making the thread pitch (length of stitching) a fine 2mm, the fabric is tightened and a texture equivalent to hand-stitched is reproduced, going beyond just "looking hand-stitched."
This results in armor that combines the flexibility and lightness of hand-stitched fabric with the safety of kendo armor.

"The best defense is a good offense"

This armor was created with those words in mind, and is truly an excellent piece of armor that excels in both offense and defense.
