Success!
This hachimaki headband features a rising sun and the kanji for Gokaku - made up from the Japanese characters meaning "to be correct" and "status" or "rank". The overall meaning is "success" or "passing exams". Ideal for students approaching tests or examinations.
Japanese hachimaki are thin cotton strips tied around the forehead. Originally worn at festivals to ward off evil spirits, they also serve the purpose of keeping hair and perspiration out of the wearer's eyes.
Hachimaki also help the wearer to gather his/her spirits and show determination and resolve. The slight pressure around the forehead helps to improve concentration and speed of thought. They were worn by samurai under their helmets, kamikaze pilots during World War II, and commonly now by protesters attending demonstrations and by practitioners of martial arts.

I got what I ordered just as I did last time.
Very happy.
If you can get the sizing right, you will not be disappointed with the quality and construction of this shirt. I'd initially ordered a size L but on arrival found it to be short in the arm length for my liking. It was kindly gifted to a family member. I promptly re-ordered the product in the adjusted size of 4L- just perfect!!
Now that I've dialled in the measurements for both tobi shirt & trouser, pending availability, I will be purchasing again.
Comfortable, sturdy belt. Love the leather. Love the double pin design, very functional.
Everything I expected and more. Supreme comfort, freedom of movement and quality. Happy to try another 😉
I bought these same shoes and I loved them but I got a size too big (my own fault). These are my repurchase of the right size! They are so comfortable and are probably my favorite shoes I own.
I love these shoes! They have a size conversion chart you can check when buying the shoes, as well Japanese shoe sizing being very straight forward. The size of the shoe is however many centimeters your foot is! I got nervous about choosing the right size and order a size too big. I bought another pair a size down and I will be using the pair that is a little too big as a pair to decorate. The ones I am getting in the correct size will be a pair of everyday shoes! They are comfortable and well made! The tabs are not hard to do and once you know exactly how you want them to fit, they are super easy and quick to put on.
Fit perfectly even without a belt. Very comfortable and flows material. High quality stitching
Purchased these in hopes for a experimental sock-like lightweight indoor shoes. Noticed quite quickly that due to its "rubber on sock" was quite prone to damage if not worn in water (like it is supposed to). Works extremely well for watersports
