[Gift Box] Silver Cardboard Box

The belts (Obi), especially belts of high grades, have for most of the practitioners a very special signification. A belt is often one of the most appreciated gifts a Judoka can have. A wrapping can be the final touch for an already great gift. We, therefore, propose a traditional Japanese carton made (covered with aluminum). On the top of the box, you will find the KuSakura logo (old style) and the kanji 御帯 inscription. It means "The belt" in Japanese. The silver cardboard box is made in a traditional manner, a Japanese process still very common today for making gift boxes.

A superior model made of wood Kiri (Japanese light-weight wood) to pack the belt.

Gift Box - Wooden Box

The higher your grade is, the deeper is the signification of the belt. As a belt is usually offered as a training gift. It is natural to beautify it with a box.

This wooden box is made of Kiri, a wood used for nearly two thousand years e.g. for jewelry boxes or accessories, because of its excellent resistance to heat, moisture, and its light-weight.
In the rest of the world, Kiri is also known as Paulownia. It is widely used in Japan for the crafting of koto (a traditional Japanese stringed musical instrument).

This box is engraved with the Kanji 御帯, pronounced "O'Obi", and meaning "belt".

This box is also available as an option on each belt product sheet.

Product Information & Size Chart

  • Classic Taikaiobi Set - JH21

    This set of KuSakura belts is the classic set competitors needed to be distinguished in the eyes of the referees.

    In Japan, old traditions are still vivid. Sometimes in competitions, the use of IJF blue color Judo Gi is not allowed, and competitors have to wear only white Judogi. Places like the Kodokan are no exception and they prefer to use a white and a red belt to distinguish the two opponents. The two opponents have to wear one of those on top of their own belts. Thereby the referee and the audience can easily distinguish the two Judoka.

    These belts are available separately (white or red).

    This model does not contain a cotton core, it is very soft and although less durable, adapted to any form of practice. A deluxe version, thicker, with a cotton core is also available. 

    JH21 - Classic Belt Set technical specifications

    • Core: 100% cotton
    • Outer layer: 100% cotton
    • Color: White or Red
    • Width: 5 cm
    • Stitching: 3 lines of stitching
    • Size/ M, L, XL
    • Availability: ships in about 1 week.
