In Japan, there are three grading methods: pine, bamboo, and plum, with pine being the highest grade.

This "pine" is the thickest, strongest, and longest-lasting of all the hard-hitting men-himos.

Because it is harder, it takes longer to break in than the plum and bamboo grades, but once it does, the presence and sense of security is in a class of its own.
