Phiten productsDevelopment background - PhitenとPlease tell us about the background to the development of this collaborative product.The president"I'm a big fan of Phiten.What I like 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.It's a great place to work."-What are the thoughts of swordsmen wearing Phiten uniforms?OrThat's what I say.Even my Iai master says that when you wear a juban, your arms move forward smoothly."ーNot just kendoEven Iai masters can wear it.Many people love knee protection supports.Regarding the kendo uniform, the Dojo Federation Executive Director,"It won't be like this for a while, but I still wear it."Teacher, is that what you're doing? (laughs)-It seems like you love it haha.The president"'Yeah, kind ofHe said, ``You just have to choose.''The president"Synthetic fibers are sticky and stick to things, right?ArrivedIf it gets difficult, it'll be pointless'"We also use genuine indigo dyeing, focusing on texture and softness.We felt it was our mission to create it."-Easy to developThe president"We tried out various prototypes and repeated the process. We also had customers who practice a lot try them out, and we took their feedback seriously.ImportantSo I decided to go with silver.-You put a lot of effort into ensuring both effectiveness and cost.Could you tell us what prompted you to develop this in the first place?The president"It just so happened that we had a connection.I have been using Phiten products for a while now because I found them to be good at first.Their headquarters is in Kyoto, and they come to every Kyoto tournament.We announced the product at the Kyoto conference four years ago."What are Phiten's strengths?-I believe it took about two years to develop the judo uniform.It was difficult to apply your technology, so pleaseYoshimune"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 tailor it to suit kendo.Rather than it not being compatible with the president's skills that support sports, it is to everyone who collaborates.It takes time to create a product that matches.”-How long have you been making kendo products at Phiten and Shokodo?Yoshimune"About four years."-How are sales going compared to what you expected?Yoshimune"That's right. It hasn't been recognized in the kendo world until now.Awareness of judo uniforms, hakama and supporter products is also increasing.I participate in the Kyoto tournament every year,Even in years when they are gone, there are still people who buy them.Not only are sales increasing, but awareness is also on the rise."Yoshimune"This uniform has an aqua titanium material inside the lining."-Is it this silver part?Yoshimune"That's right. For example, with tape, the area where you stuck it is the center.As for the judo uniform, the entire uniform will be covered in tape, so the effects of Titanium Aqua will be felt all over.The more surface area that comes into contact with your body, the greater the relaxing effect.It is a product whose effects are easily felt.The comfort, weight and texture were decided after consultation with Shokodo.-Shokodo provided the martial arts expertise.Yoshimune"I don't have any kendo or iaido skills, so I make them while talking with Shokodo.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 was clear that this product reflected the knowledge and experiences of both parties.
