Tameshigiri 試し斬り test-cutting material

Description

Made from Schoenoplectus triqueter (triangular bulrush) — a plant widespread across Eurasia, from Europe, the Caucasus and the Middle East to the Far East, Japan, India and Pakistan, as well as North Africa. Widely cultivated in Japan and China, where the stems and leaves are used for weaving and making mats for cutting with a Japanese sword. Supplied in rolls. For convenient preparation, cutting guides are marked on the reverse side with a marker. This material is considerably denser and harder to cut than the "summer mats" sold in regular stores, and requires a more serious approach — please keep this in mind, as the characteristics are sharply different. Weight: 13 kg Length: 30 m Width: 1 m Marked with cutting guides Mat width: 97 cm Rolled mat diameter: 7 cm when dry After soaking: approx. 8–9 cm STRICTLY MADE TO ORDER. 100% PREPAYMENT. MINIMUM ORDER — 6 ROLLS.
