Suish\u014d-hin<\/strong> (\u63a8\u5968\u54c1) \u2013 \u201cRecommended item\u201d color generally matches the Nintei seal of a given manufacturer example: Gentosha = red; Yamagata Koubou = yellow; Goes through the same rigorous testing as the Nintei seal kendama; may be used for testing up through Jun-shodan.  (Common usage \u201cSuish\u014d seal\u201d)\n\n<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Tokubetsu Suish\u014d-hin<\/strong> (\u7279\u5225\u63a8\u5968\u54c1) \u2013 \u201cSpecial Recommended item\u201d colors and designs vary, may be used for testing up through Jun-shodan.  Does not go through the same rigorous testing as the Nintei seal kendama; generally given for works of art, very high priced kendama, or those of exclusive\/limited release.  Has the seal but is not often something that is used\/played.  For the Nintei\/Suish\u014d different colors usually mean different manufacturers but that is not always with the Tokubetsu Suish\u014d style of seal.  Another example of this <\/p>\n\n\n\n

seal is the 40th Anniversary seal released in 2015. (Common usage \u201cTokubetsu Suish\u014d seal\u201d)<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
