Kendo Kote (Gloves) - Mitsuyoshi
Received this as a gift from an acquaintance. Selling because it doesn't fit my hand size.
The maker's mark is difficult to read, but it is the Koetsu model from Higashiyamado.
As you can see, the material is excellent and the stitching is meticulous. The small kotou leather on the kote head is particularly beautiful.
While machine-stitched kote are also easy to use and good, I believe this is also a valuable item to own as a piece of traditional craftsmanship and a testament to artisanal skill. As mechanization progresses, handwork will become increasingly rare. How about taking this opportunity?
There is a tear in the palm near the right thumb.
There is no other damage.
There is some color fading. Please check the photos for other conditions or ask questions.
Thank you.
My measurements:
Middle finger to wrist crease: 20 cm
Base of thumb to circumference of hand: 23 cm
