Did you know that Hokubei Budogu makes ALOT of tshirts and hoodies etc? We skipped the generic tshirt brand and designed these souvenir tshirts for The 2026 Washington DC Kendo Cup and printed them on Uniqlo’s Airism Tshirts and received pre-orders for pick up at the tournament. Cheaper non-Uniqlo tshirts with the same design will be on sale att our vendor table among other quality kendo goods. See you soon!
