So I chipped a very small part of my tenjin in which all the pain of that one moment transfered to me.I don’t want to suffer from that again so I tried researching and found that tenjin covers exist.
But most sources don’t sell them or they come in shamisen sets.
Does anyone have any alternatives or substitution to a tenjin cover?
Wagakki Ichiba sells a cheap leather tenjin cap here:

You can also get a lacquered cap as part of their doukakke sets, but those are a lot more expensive.
They don’t ship direct internationally, you have to use a third party shipping service. Here’s the English link for their recommended shipping service.

You might also be able to special order one through Bachido if you shoot Kyle a DM, but of course you’d have to check with him and see.
