The Takumi, meaning craftsman, is made from a new type of poly-cotton blend. Hirota has taken the original Pinack for Kumite material but woven super-thin polyester strands, interwoven them tightly with cotton strands to produce an ultra thin yet stiff material designed for fast yet ultra sharp kata performance. Designed for those looking for a "louder" dogi.
