⚔️ Uesugi Kenshin vs Takeda Shingen
The inner lining illustrates one of the most iconic moments in samurai history – the legendary duel between Uesugi Kenshin (the Dragon of Echigo) and Takeda Shingen (the Tiger of Kai), during the Battle of Kawanakajima (川中島の戦い).
Kenshin, charging on horseback with his katana drawn, attacks Shingen who deflects with his iron war fan (tessen). This scene has become a timeless symbol of bravery, strategy, and honor in Japanese warrior lore.
Displayed within this haori, the artwork is not only decorative but spiritually rich — a legacy of Japan's feudal past preserved through textile.

Comfortable and visually stunning
Just the right size.
As this belt was a replacement for my original black belt from 2003, I am very pleased to say that it has the same feel and quality of my previous belt. I teach karate 5 days a week, so I need a belt that stands the test of time. I am positive that this is it!
Confortable et parfsit pour ma taille de pied. C’est super a porter a l’interieur :)
An amazing Gi. More like a samurai robe. Where the tk-10 is stone this is water, not flimsy but heavy but flows like a powerful river. Amazing quality.
I ordered this product as a replacement for a cheap Chinese samue that lasted roughly 3 weeks. This one is on another level. I am 182 cm and 83 kg and the 2L fits me nicely. Although based on the leg length a L would have also worked. The cloth has a nice thickness and texture to it. International shipping was fast. Would definitely recommend...it would also be really nice if this shop would have an European reseller, preferably in Germany ;)
A beautiful, high-quality product — it's a pity about the customs charges for Italy.
I ordered a new Shureido belt on a Thursday and it arrived in Australia the following Monday. That is fantastic service and I would be happy to purchase from the Bujindo store again.
Very very happy. Super quality and productsp
Easy communication, fast delivery and top notch quality of material. I can't be happier. Thank you so much
