Exclusive Traditional 'Dojin Master' - Pants
The Judogi JOZ, also known as Dojin Master, benefits from all KuSakura's history and expertise. On request from the Kodokan itself for reproducing Jigoro Kano's Judogi the most faithfully possible, KuSakura's craftsmen spent years of research trying to reproduce the softness of the old traditional handwoven sashiko fabric. Back in the days, before WWII, Judogi were mostly woven by hand, and the higher quality models required about a hundred hours of work. Reproducing this technique nowadays would result in price over 2000 USD for a single Judogi, but KuSakura figured out a way to reproduce the same kind of fabric for machine woven fabrics. Every detail count, from the speed of the machine to the number of threads used, as of course cotton quality.
The Dojin Master is the final result of KuSakura's research to produce the most comfortable and high-end Judogi ever made. Yes, "ever made", because not only it is as comfortable as a hand-woven Judogi, but modern sewing techniques make it much more durable than its original version.
And to make it as traditional as possible, this model is left unbleached (natural cotton), which gives it a yellow ton. (Also available in ).
With an incredibly soft touch, this Judogi is not designed for competitors. Its softness makes the grabbing easier and more comfortable and therefore more suitable for technical Judo rather than competitive Judo. It is an excellent choice for high-level teachers, practitioners focused on Kata practice, and of course, as a present for a high-rank promotion.
Its name "Dojin Master" or "道人" in Japanese, means: master of the way. Consistently with its intended use, given its ties to the Japanese tradition and being oriented on an "old" type of Judo practice, this model is definitely the ultimate choice for those who practice Budo as a way rather than as a sport.
Due to the color of the pants, we strongly recommend matching these pants with its unbleached jacket.
Note that this Judogi is made to order. The manufacture of this Judogi requires about to 2 months.
This product consists of the pants only. The is available for separate purchase.
