Koiguchi Kun TOMBO

Koiguchi Kun TOMBO – Symbol of steadfastness

Are you looking for reliable protection for the koiguchi of your saya that combines functionality and symbolism?
The Koiguchi Kun TOMBO combines practical protection with traditional meaning and high-quality craftsmanship – developed for iaidoka who value attention to detail.

Symbolism & meaning

In the samurai tradition, the dragonfly (TOMBO) symbolises change, strength and courage.
Its iridescent appearance and its connection to wind and water are considered signs of sensitivity, attentiveness and adaptability – qualities that are as important in Iaido as they are in life itself.

The dragonfly thus stands not only for steadfastness, but also for the ability to consciously change without losing one's own path. This multi-layered symbolism makes the Koiguchi Kun TOMBO a functional accessory with deep cultural significance.

Material & workmanship

The Koiguchi Kun is made from several layers of durable, tanned leather.
The individual layers are laminated and sewn by hand to ensure high stability and exceptional durability – designed for long-term use throughout an entire "sword life".

Function & practicality

The Koiguchi Kun TOMBO fulfils several important tasks in daily training and storage:

• Protects the saya from damage by the tsuba during transport and storage

• Secure hold of the Habaki in the Koiguchi

• Extending the life of the saya and fittings

This keeps your equipment permanently protected and functional.
