⚔️ 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.

Excellent experience with this e-shop which I do recommend for their really nice selection and for their precious advice.
The Tabi boots I get are exactly how I expected them.
As an US 10 the 28 is perfect.
Japanese traditional style to walk through the streets of the world
Hervorragende MaterialQualität zum fairen Preis.
Domo Arigato gozai masu!🙏
My haori arrived in a timely manner and was everything I expected it to be and more. The quality of the haori is fantastic, and it fits great!
This pair of shoes is really very comfortable, and the craftsmanship is excellent. It's exactly what I expected. The only problem is that I ordered a pair half a centimeter larger than my usual size, and even so, they're so tight that I can't even wear socks (tabis)!
I loved them, very beautiful and perfect fit if you follow the measure instructions. Looking forward for some outdoors bujinkan training in the spirng!
I wish they would come in 12 version as well
Thank you very much
Just like described, fast shipment. Nothing to complain about :)
The Samue suit is very beautiful crafted - the fabric is soft and very pleasant to wear. A high quality clothing that exudes a genuine Japanese feeling attention to detail. . The tabi shoes clearly high quality. I am very happy.
Super cozy!
out est parfait. Merci
heads raised to the heavens, i am not worthy of the energy without thy consent.
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.
