Traditional White Buddhist Monk Samue Standard – Made in Japan
Special Price: $99 USD $119 USD
Experience the comfort and understated elegance of an authentic white Japanese samue, carefully made in Japan. Traditionally associated with Buddhist temple work, meditation, spiritual practice and daily activities, this two-piece samue combines freedom of movement with a clean and dignified appearance.
The set consists of a wrap-style jacket and matching trousers. The jacket closes securely with traditional side ties, while the elasticated cuffs and ankles help keep the garment comfortably in place during walking, sitting, meditation and practical work.
Authentic Japanese Temple Workwear
Samue were originally worn by Zen Buddhist monks while carrying out everyday duties such as cleaning, gardening, cooking and maintaining temple grounds. Today, the samue is also appreciated as comfortable Japanese clothing for meditation, martial arts preparation, traditional arts, relaxation and mindful daily living.
Its pure white colour creates a refined and peaceful appearance suitable for Buddhist practice, temple ceremonies, shrine-related activities, meditation retreats and traditional Japanese cultural settings.
T/C Weather Fabric
This Japanese samue is made from durable T/C weather fabric, a balanced blend of 65% polyester and 35% cotton. “T” refers to Tetron polyester, while “C” refers to cotton.
The tightly woven fabric provides good structure and durability while retaining the breathability and natural comfort of cotton. It is also designed to resist excessive shrinkage during washing and to maintain a stable fit over time.

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.
