Like all our belts, this model is based on the Kodokan guidelines, which define the standard for Judo type belts in Japan.

The width of this premium quality cotton model is 4.5 cm. The Shushi model has 15 lines of stitching, a rigid cotton core, and a black cotton outer layer with a satin finish (glossy). "Shushi" is a term used for a traditional weaving method whose main characteristic resides in its shiny finish, giving it a satin aspect close to that of silk. This belt will slightly whiten over time.

When selected, the Aikikai mark is stitched on the opposite end of the belt (see product picture).
