Indigo 100% cotton cords to hold the chest strap (Do) on the torso.
The Do himo fits easily and attaches to the Dochikawa, the leather buckles on the bottom of the Do.
A set of Do Himo consist of 4 Himo, 2 long, which attach to the upper Dochikawa, and go on the Munekawa, loops on the top of the Do, crossed flat in the back.
The 2 short Himo bind to the lower Dochikawa and tie each other in the back.

The standard length of long Do Himo is 3 尺 (shaku), or 90.90 cm.

These traditional cotton Do Himo Indigo are the standard for Kendo weave links. Even being a high quality, they do not fit in the classification Shouchikubai (Pine-Bamboo-Plum) for the upper cotton links.
A batch contains 2 pairs of Himo (cords).

Masamune Team's Advice:
  • Check the cord before and after training regularly.
  • After using Do, tie the Himo around it to dry flat.
  • If the Himo is twisted, feel free to unfold it and then iron it back to its original shape.
  • The cord will break in the striking or fastening areas.
  • Once the cord is damaged, it can't be repaired and must be changed.
