Kendo is the practice of Japanese Swordsmanship. Essentially the equivalent to Spanish fencing. They use bamboo swords (shinai)  as well as protective armour (bogu) when engaging in combat. What makes these "Jackets" so unique is that they are hand-dyed with Indigo. Each one has its own particular shade or hue of Indigo based upon it's age and wear. Some vary from a light blue to a deep Violet. No two are the same.

*This one in particular is a deep hue of Violet
