KUSAKURA R3N — Black #11 Medium-Weight Cotton Ninjutsugi | Made in Japan
Discover the KUSAKURA R3N Black Ninjutsugi, a premium Japanese martial arts uniform manufactured in Japan by KUSAKURA(九櫻), a renowned Japanese martial arts equipment manufacturer.
Made from 100% black cotton #11 canvas, this traditional Japanese uniform combines durability, flexibility, comfort, and authentic Japanese craftsmanship.
Originally developed as a high-quality black Karate Gi for experienced practitioners and instructors, the KUSAKURA R3N is also particularly suitable for Ninjutsu, Ninpō Taijutsu, Kobudō, Bujinkan training, and traditional Japanese martial arts.
Its medium-weight cotton construction offers an excellent balance between fabric strength and freedom of movement, making it an ideal choice for martial artists seeking a reliable, traditional black training uniform.
Authentic Japanese Craftsmanship — KUSAKURA(九櫻)
KUSAKURA is a respected Japanese manufacturer specializing in traditional martial arts uniforms and equipment.
The R3N Black #11 Cotton Uniform reflects the manufacturer's commitment to traditional construction, functional design, and the demanding requirements of Japanese martial arts practice.
Unlike lightweight martial arts uniforms, the R3N features a substantial yet flexible cotton fabric designed to provide comfort and durability during regular training.
Manufactured in Japan, this model is an excellent choice for practitioners who value authentic Japanese martial arts equipment.
Medium-Weight #11 Cotton Canvas — Comfort and Durability
The KUSAKURA R3N is manufactured from 100% cotton, Grade #11 Japanese canvas (11号生地).
This medium-weight cotton fabric provides a balanced combination of resistance, flexibility, and comfort.
Compared with heavier #10 canvas uniforms, the #11 fabric generally offers a more flexible feel while maintaining the traditional structure expected from a quality Japanese martial arts Gi.
The material is particularly suitable for training involving body movement, changes of posture, evasive techniques, and repeated martial arts practice.

Its practical construction supports the body mobility required for techniques involving changes of direction, evasive movement, defensive postures, and controlled partner training.
The traditional black design also makes it particularly appropriate for martial arts schools and practitioners who prefer a discreet, functional training uniform.

These traditional waraji sandals were very well crafted. Authentic and holds the period look. I recommend Bujindo as a source of high quality goods!
I would like to express my sincere gratitude for the excellent service and the smooth handling of my purchase. I was extremely satisfied with the entire buying process, and everything was handled professionally and efficiently.
I would especially like to mention that the Samue is absolutely beautiful. It exceeded my expectations, and I was truly delighted when I received it. I greatly appreciated that everything went so smoothly from start to finish.
Thank you very much for your care, attention, and outstanding service. I wish you continued success and hope to purchase from you again in the future.
Excellent experience with this e-shop which I do recommend for their really nice selection and for their precious advice.
The Tabi boots I get are exactly how I expected them.
As an US 10 the 28 is perfect.
Japanese traditional style to walk through the streets of the world
Hervorragende MaterialQualität zum fairen Preis.
Domo Arigato gozai masu!🙏
My haori arrived in a timely manner and was everything I expected it to be and more. The quality of the haori is fantastic, and it fits great!
This pair of shoes is really very comfortable, and the craftsmanship is excellent. It's exactly what I expected. The only problem is that I ordered a pair half a centimeter larger than my usual size, and even so, they're so tight that I can't even wear socks (tabis)!
I loved them, very beautiful and perfect fit if you follow the measure instructions. Looking forward for some outdoors bujinkan training in the spirng!
I wish they would come in 12 version as well
Thank you very much
Just like described, fast shipment. Nothing to complain about :)
The Samue suit is very beautiful crafted - the fabric is soft and very pleasant to wear. A high quality clothing that exudes a genuine Japanese feeling attention to detail. . The tabi shoes clearly high quality. I am very happy.
Super cozy!
out est parfait. Merci
heads raised to the heavens, i am not worthy of the energy without thy consent.
Comfortable and visually stunning
Just the right size.
As this belt was a replacement for my original black belt from 2003, I am very pleased to say that it has the same feel and quality of my previous belt. I teach karate 5 days a week, so I need a belt that stands the test of time. I am positive that this is it!
