CUSTOM BOGU

For any custom Bogu orders or inquiries, please contact us at info@eikobudogu.com.

Together with some of the world’s most experienced craftsmen, the Eikobudogu Team is capable of providing nearly any type of Bogu customization imaginable. While we could easily fill our product pages with options, we know that there will always be new and unique customizations that come to mind. While the Bogu sets we offer are normally in stock either in the United States or our headquarters in Japan, each customization requires different lead times and pricing. Therefore, rather than choosing from a small set of options, we invite our customers to discuss with us ANYTHING that they may have in mind. The following is just a SHORT list of the many customizations we can provide with our Bogu sets and Bogu parts.   

Menbuchi Color
The Menbuchi is a layer of cow leather attaching the stitched Futon to the metal Mengane. While the Menbuchi is traditionally painted red and black, full black Menbuchi have become common in recent years. This color is solely a matter of preference, and can easily be changed by our craftsmen.
