Greg F Posted December 11, 2020 Report Posted December 11, 2020 Hi members I just wanted to let you all know about an eBay seller that is my Sensei's wife from Japan. I recently bought a katana bag from her and its the best bag I've had. Please check out her items. Regards Greg 1 1 Quote
Brian Posted December 11, 2020 Report Posted December 11, 2020 Well at least the name is easy to remember They may want to consider an eBay handle change. 2 2 Quote
Greg F Posted December 11, 2020 Author Report Posted December 11, 2020 Hi Brian I will mention it to her. All her bags are made by her and and very well made with nice Japanese pictures and the ends are reinforced. I will put some pics up over the weekend when I get time. Tomoko is a lovely person and very easy to deal with. 1 Quote
Greg F Posted December 15, 2020 Author Report Posted December 15, 2020 This is the the two mon design bags I have from Tomoko. There are other colors and designs to choose from and this type of draw strings are easier to use. Please take a look. Cheers 1 Quote
Ken-Hawaii Posted December 15, 2020 Report Posted December 15, 2020 Nice choice of fabrics. Will check her out. 1 Quote

cisco-san Posted March 8, 2021 Report Posted March 8, 2021 Hello, Ordered some special Katana,- and Wakizashi bags (different sizes and without the leather bottom.. based on my request - see attached pictures) from Tomoko-san via eBay and from here shop directly for a very good price. I was quite surprised on the quality of these bags and the professionalism Tomoko-san is working. I can just fully agree Greg, these bags are great! Communication was also very good - despite the big time difference. The whole transaction was very smooth and reliable, same the delivery. I am really happy. If somebody is also interested in, here the contact details: eBay: futtmk_047omvqpw FB: Kokoro Heart Sewing So finally, I just can really highly recommend the service from Tomoko-san and will for sure order additional bags and many thanks to Greg for introducing Tomoko-san´s business here. 1 1 Quote
francois2605 Posted March 11, 2021 Report Posted March 11, 2021 I got mine today and I second that Tomoko's service is really top notch. Those bags are just excellent, thanks Greg for the tip 1 1 Quote
Greg F Posted March 11, 2021 Author Report Posted March 11, 2021 Im so happy you are both satisfied with the quality of the bags and dealing with Tomoko . Im looking forward to letting Tomoko see this at iai practice today. Thank you both for the great feedback and thanks for the great bags Tomoko. Quote
Yama Arashi Posted March 13, 2021 Report Posted March 13, 2021 I have ordered a few as well. Can they be purchased directly via email or facebook? (vs. her having to pay ebay fees) Quote
francois2605 Posted March 13, 2021 Report Posted March 13, 2021 I think so (her FB page has reportedly more items), look at the latest picture in this thread (that I posted), you'll see her business card with more info to contact her. 1 1 Quote
Greg F Posted March 13, 2021 Author Report Posted March 13, 2021 Hi I'm sure if you contact Tomoko she would be happy to sell outside of ebay. Quote
Greg F Posted August 23, 2021 Author Report Posted August 23, 2021 Hello Gentlemen (and Ladies), I justcontent://com.android.chrome.FileProvider/images/screenshot/16297595455091108965447.jpg wanted to update this thread as Tomoko has added some very cool new designs to her sword bag range. 5 Quote
Steves87 Posted September 5, 2021 Report Posted September 5, 2021 Thanks for the update on the new fabric Greg, just ordered a Shinai (wanted pockets) navy blue waves, can't wait! 1 Quote
Greg F Posted September 8, 2021 Author Report Posted September 8, 2021 Hi Steve my pleasure mate, theh are great bags and Tomoko is a great person. Enjoy. 1 Quote
Greg F Posted September 13, 2021 Author Report Posted September 13, 2021 Here's another three beautiful designs that are available from Tomoko. 2 Quote
Steves87 Posted September 16, 2021 Report Posted September 16, 2021 Arrived today, my God, I feel like buying another sword just so I have a reason to purchase more... they are that good!! Agree with Greg, Tomoko deserves to do well from this. High quality, professional, maximum heart and soul. 1 1 Quote
Greg F Posted September 16, 2021 Author Report Posted September 16, 2021 Steve thank you very much mate. Yesterday Tomoko and Kyohei were very pleased when I told them how pleased you are with the bags and service. I couldnt help myself and bought another one yesterday too (my daughter chose the tiger design) and soon I will get a dragon design too. They really are so good and worth much more than asking price. Tomoko is such a nice lady (swings a mean sword too) she made a covid mask as a gift for me out of the khaki mon bag material. Have a great day mate. 1 Quote
Surfson Posted September 16, 2021 Report Posted September 16, 2021 Does she have a website or is it all on ebay? Quote
Stephen Posted September 16, 2021 Report Posted September 16, 2021 Love theses last three maybe commissioner a Daisho set? 1 Quote

Expand You can order them through her direct email (gmail address shown on her business card in francois2605' post - 10th down on this page) She will also answer through Facebook messenger. I've ordered around 25 bags so far - top notch quality and materials. She will also make custom lengths as requested (waki, jo/bo, etc.) with or without leather end caps on the bottom. 2 1 Quote
Greg F Posted September 17, 2021 Author Report Posted September 17, 2021 No website sorry Bob but she is very easy to deal with through her other contacts. Stephen I really like the last three also. Im sure she would do the the daisho no problem. Ryu thank you for the support. Im glad you like them , 25 wow thats great. Quote
Yama Arashi Posted September 18, 2021 Report Posted September 18, 2021 Dojo group buy. Have another in the works. Everybody is quite impressed with the quality and price. 1 Quote
Greg F Posted September 19, 2021 Author Report Posted September 19, 2021 Great to hear Ryo. Im glad people like them as much as I do. The strength and quality for the price really is exceptional. Thank you 1 Quote
Sumuzu Posted October 28, 2021 Report Posted October 28, 2021 @StephenIf you haven’t get it, here is how the communication goes. I contacted Fujiie-San through email and told her what I wanted to get (Type, color). She replied back with pictures confirming the fabrics, length of my Tachi, and if I need the leather on the bottom. Ideally you can just tell her what type, length, leather or not, and address. She will make them and ship out then send invoice to you to collect money. She charged in AUD so the total is around $100 USD for two bags shipped to Oklahoma. I have not received mine yet but will report once I get it. Quote
Stephen Posted October 28, 2021 Report Posted October 28, 2021 Sunny why the down vote... Still waiting on mine it took a few weeks to leave Oz now it's been in LA no other tracking after that for what almost 10 days now. Sad sad the shipping time from Oz. I get packages from Japan in less than a week even during the covid. Here's my latest status 1 Quote
MarcoUdin Posted October 28, 2021 Report Posted October 28, 2021 Had the same problem ordering stuff from Australia, about three weeks before it finally shipped. Thankfully was all fast and easy after that. 1 Quote
