🎌 Symbolism of the "Kenkatabami" Kamon
The Kenkatabami crest represents the wood sorrel (katabami), a plant that multiplies rapidly and is difficult to eradicate — symbolizing resilience, vitality, and continuity of lineage. Used by many samurai clans, this crest reflects the unyielding spirit of the warrior and the noble continuity of tradition.
⚔️ Ready for Iaido Embu – Worn by Japanese Shihan
This set is fully ready to be worn for Iaido demonstrations (Embu), following the formal dress code observed by senior instructors and Japanese Shihans. The Montsuki with five kamon and paired Kaku Obi is the most prestigious and appropriate attire for official martial arts presentations and high-level grading ceremonies.
🎥 Cultural Highlight – Iconic in Japanese Cinema
Particularity: This type of kimono, adorned with the Kenkatabami crest, is famously worn by the legendary Japanese actor Toshiro Mifune in the role of Sanjuro in the classic samurai film "Yojimbo", directed by Akira Kurosawa. This garment is a visual reference to one of the most iconic portrayals of the samurai in Japanese cinema.
