About 6 months ago I bought a Kendo Jidai magazine in an Asahiya bookstore. As I was looking through it/studying (also learning Japanese, so it was entertaining practice lol) I came across an article they had on Jikishinkage Ryu Kenjutsu. My question that has been bugging me since then is, when I saw them practicing in Bogu in the one picture, their fukuro shinai was quite different from anything I have seen. It looked like a uchikomi shinai used in Kendo practice. I was wondering if there is a specific fukuro shinai used in Jikishinkage Ryu Kenjutsu? How is it different? Does anyone have any pictures of some (I lost my magazine since then with my move back to NY from CA)? And also would anyone happen to know if it is possible to buy one somewhere? Thanks alot for any input guys.
