Samurai Helmet Short-Sleeve Unisex T-Shirt
-
Handmade
Like many other marital artists, I have had a long time interest in the art and culture surrounding martial arts as a whole, but particularly samurai (at least the westerners' romanticized version of samurai). The imagery of the samurai is very striking and iconic, not just practical, but expressive and representative of the individual, evoking the virtues of bravery, loyalty, discipline, and fearlessness, in addition to martial prowess and self-control. There is a rich visual history of samurai weapons and armor, particularly the helmets, some of which were very unique and ornate, and are very much pieces of art in themselves.
This shirt is intended to be the first in a series of samurai helmet themed images, influenced by the culture and history, my own dedication and study of martial arts (since 1995), as well as my own creative influences and inspirations. They are not meant to represent any particular samurai from history, nor any family. The various "family crests" that appear are of my own design, certainly influenced by history, but not intending to directly copy.

I bought this for my youngest son, who loves all things purple and cats. He got a bazillion compliments and comments!
