We have Merch Available Now!

Womens Kendo · Sep 16, 2022 ·

It’s time! The official tenugui for the 8th PNKF North American Women’s Taikai has gone to production and will be here soon!

Pre-order now, pick up at the taikai. We will have ship to home options (coming post taikai.) Taikai participants receive one as part of their entry fee! We chose orange – color we haven’t done before and you don’t see many fun, bright orange tenugui out there. Also, it’s October! We chose the North Pacific giant octopus as our feature this year, as it is native to the PNW, it’s our 8th taikai and they are brilliant, like our ladies. Treat yourself today with what will clearly be the best kendo merch of the year!

Order Tenugui

This awesome design is also available on your everyday wearables, T-shirts and Hoodies are now available!

Early Bird Special: NOW through 9/20. Jump on this today and you can pick up at the taikai to avoid shipping fees! We’ll release new links after 9/20 for ship to home options.
