If you have any questions about the membership, don’t hesitate to send in an email or ask a senior during training!
To register, head over to our Unione site and scroll to the bottom of the webpage (or click on the Store option tab), then select either “Kendo 2021 VKR Membership JUNIOR” or “Kendo 2021 VKR Membership SENIOR” depending on whether you are under 18 or not.
Then follow the on-screen instructions to purchase the membership!
Good luck to all students!

Why are bogu blue?
Bogu are dyed with indigo dye from way way way wayyy back. (Read the link below for more details)
This dye is extracted from the Perisicaria Tinctoria (or Japanese indigo plant). Actually, according to Tozando it takes 40+ dyeing repetitions to get the blue we all know and love.
