Perhaps I'm missing something, but why would a sensei or sempai see your bare back? Sure, if it was a neck piece or something like that, but it's not something I could see honestly coming up that much

It's more about the magical after-practice onsen-parties I keep hearing about

So if only 1 girl would see it when we change or bathe, I'd be doomed.

Anyhoo, I think I changed my mind after reading that other topic and getting some more info. It makes me kind of sad that in Kendo some things are so narrow-minded. However, on the other hand, Kendo is about being uniform on the outside and shine through your kendo instead.

I'm also never gonna wear anything other than blue and the standard do design. I want to stand out with good Kendo and nothing else. So in a way I can find peace with that, but it's still kind of sad in a way, cause the wanna-be "samurai-chick" in me is dissapointed now. LOL!

I want to be able to practice in any Japanese dojo without reservations and that's more important to me than body art.
