Aqua Titanium: Phiten's proprietary water-soluble metal technology disperses titanium at the nano level in water. By impregnating each fiber with this "Aqua Titanium," it draws out the innate power of the human body and supports a natural state of relaxation for the mind and body. While the benefits of Aqua Titanium will not be lost if the product is exposed to water, repeated wetting and washing may accelerate wear and tear on the material (fabric, etc.). To ensure long-lasting use, please avoid washing in a washing machine. Actual colors may appear different depending on your monitor settings.

-Please tell us the background of your founding. President : "My grandfather was a craftsman at Matsukan Kogyo and then he went independent. I am the third generation." Does that mean that the original company is Matsukan Kogyosha? President : "Yes, I went independent from there.
My grandfather was born in the Meiji era and was a Matsukan craftsman.
He asked for the daughter of the man and married her, and became independent.
He married the daughter of the head family and became independent." Background of the development of Phiten products
-Please tell us about the background to the development of the collaborative products with Phiten. President : "I'm a big fan of Phiten.
What's great about Phiten is that they only use loyal users of Phiten products in their advertising.
We ask this because top athletes themselves use Phiten products.
That's a great thing about the company." - What do you think of the swordsmen wearing Phiten uniforms? President : "They can withstand long training sessions, and they also say that the arms move forward well.
"Iai masters also say that when they wear a juban, their arms move forward smoothly." - It seems that not only kendo masters but also iaido masters wear it. President : "Many iaido masters use knee protection supports along with their juban.
Regarding the kendo uniform, the Dojo Federation Executive Director said, "This stuff doesn't work, but people still wear it."
"Doctor, that seems to be working (laughs)" - it seems you use it regularly lol. President : "I see, you just can't help but choose something," he said.
By the way, it took two years to develop the product." - After much trial and error, it was finally released. President: "Synthetic fibers tend to stick to your body, so if they become difficult to wear, it's all for nothing, so we put a lot of effort into that point.

We also felt it was our company's duty to use genuine indigo dye and to focus on texture and softness." - Please tell us about the two years spent on development.
President : "We repeatedly tried out the prototypes. We also had customers who practice a lot try them on and gave us feedback.

Appearance is also important, so we decided to go with silver." - You put a lot of effort into ensuring effectiveness and comfort.
What was the trigger for the development in the first place? President : "It was just a coincidence.
I've had neck problems for a while now, so I've been using Phiten products regularly.

Phiten's headquarters are in Kyoto, and they come to every Kyoto tournament.
We announced our product at the Kyoto convention four years ago." What are Phiten's strengths? -I heard it took about two years to develop the judo uniform.
Was it difficult to apply your company's technology? Yoshimune : "We provide the materials. For example, we have regular supporters,
This is not a supporter specifically designed for kendo.
It took time to take that into account and adapt it to suit kendo.

Regardless of the sport, it's not that the product is not suited to our technology, but rather that it takes time to create a product that is tailored to the people we collaborate with." - How long have you been making kendo products together with Phiten? Yoshimune : "About four years." - How are sales compared to the level you expected? Yoshimune : "That's right. Until now, they weren't well known in the kendo world, but
Awareness of judo uniforms, hakama and supporter products is also increasing.

I participate in the Kyoto tournament every year,
Some people who bought it last year have come to visit us.
Not only are sales increasing, but awareness is also on the rise." Yoshimune : "This uniform has an Aqua Titanium material in the lining." - Is this the silver part? Yoshimune : "Yes. For example, with tape, you relax around the area where you apply it,
As for the judo uniform, the entire uniform will be covered in tape, so the effects of Aqua Titanium will be felt all over.
The more surface area that comes into contact with your body, the greater the relaxing effect, making this a product that is very easy to feel the effects of.

We discussed the comfort, weight, and texture of the material with Shokodo and created the suit." - Shokodo provided the martial arts expertise. Yoshimune : "Since our company does not have the skills for kendo or iaido, we worked closely with Shokodo to create the suit.
We are a manufacturer of health and sports products,
It's difficult to hear the detailed opinions of customers, but Matsukodo is able to pick them up.

We will continue to work with Shokodo to develop products that will please kendo practitioners." It is clear that this product embodies the combined knowledge of both parties. Thank you for today.
