Does anyone know where I can buy men gane from for a little art project I have? I don’t want to rip second hand men apart and yet i can’t seem to find anywhere that sells them online.

Hi Anil,
Welcome to e-budo.
My advice is to email Tozando and tell them what you're looking for. They have English speakers on staff, they are very helpful (in my experience), and have a lot of contacts in Japan. I'm sure they could find, and sell, mengane without the rest of the men.
Good luck!

Tozando got back to me and can supply mengane to me for £185 ($236). I might need to downscale my plans a little based on this price!
Ouch!
Sounds like an interesting project though.

If you’re in the LA area, head down to Irvine and visitr e-bogu. They have great staff that will take your measurements and helps pick out what works for your budget at this stage. I HIGHLY recommend going to get your measurements and try on before you buy; don’t buy online unless they have a good return policy.
