Please note for this tee we used a new blank!  more vintage look and the fit is a bit more loose. If you are usually size M, go ahead and order an M, but it will have a more comfortable feel than usual. 


Legendary, and larger than life, the 12th century monk turned warrior Benkei still inspires modern day warriors with his many accounts of bravery, and formidable fighting skills.

Described by all accounts as a unique looking character, even as a child due to his unusually large frame ( some accounts say he grew to be over 6 foot 6”) and intese face features, he was dubbed early on “Oni Waka” (Demon Child) also due to his fiery, and intense character. Too wild to adhere to the strict tenements of a monastic life, he set out to travel Japan as a ronin, vowing to challenge every man with a sword he would cross paths with until he had collected 100 swords from their unworthy hands. 

In this unique Halfsumo style Irezumi design we see a fierce Benkei with his piercing eyes and animal like black beard wearing on his armor his favorite seven weapons in addition to his katana ( Naginata, Nokogiri, Kumade, Masakari, Nagigama,Tetsubo, Hizuchi). Every details has been reproduced with high fidelity on a premium cotton tee using waterbase ink to provide a soft and comfortable feel.  Every line, every brush stroke is like a katana strike that has left an indelible mark on the surface of this tee.

Enjoy exploring the intricate design, and discover new details up close.

 

As always 100% cotton, crafted with heavier yarns, this garment has been hand-treated with intentional imperfections for authentically worn-in softness and style...pretty bad ass.

Please note this tee fits a bit more loose than our usual tees. If you are  usually size M, go ahead and order an M, but it will have a more comfortable feel than usual.
