Shinai is a weapon used for practice and competition in kendo representing a Japanese sword. Shinai are also used in other martial arts, but may be styled differently from kendo shinai, and represented with different characters.

Kendo Bamboo Practice Shinai of premium quality bamboo. This shinai is constructed of thick sheaves of bound bamboo with a suede handle. It includes a thick plastic guard and securing ring. 47 Inch Size 38 long premium quality bamboo shinai.

When not in use, shinai used in kendo practice, should be either laid on the floor, or leant vertically against a wall, with the (kashira) base of the (tsuka) handle on the floor and the (kissaki) tip leaning against the wall. This is because in kendo, the shinai is treated as a substitute for a real sword and should be treated as if real.

When a shinai is placed on the floor, it is considered very poor etiquette to step over it.
