Damashi, or in its more traditional spelling Damashii or Tamashii signifies the inherent soul or spirit that inhabits every living person. In Budo culture Damashii is often linked to the word Yamato, the old term for Japan as it refers to the historical values of the Samurai of Integrity, Honor, Courage, Loyalty, Honesty and Compassion.
We have therefore imagined a powerful warrior, wearing a simple garment that only partially covers his athletic body; the katana already swung, pointing down to the ground, the grip is firm, but we don’t know yet if this warrior will have the strength to raise it once more.
The doubts are there, but the majestic phoenix rising behind his shoulder is an omen, a manifestation of the samurai’s unrelenting spirit to rise and fight - we now know the samurai spirit will always prevail!
We removed approx 2" inches from the bottom of the spats to avoid any annoying bunching by the ankles; this turns out to be particularly useful against those pesky teammates who will forego mounting to attack your foot; and before we forget, we also added a non intrusive internal drawstring, because although form fitting, we don't want anyone to just pull them down accidentally while rolling.
Fits true to size.
NOTE: This listing is for the Men/Unisex sizing - For Female sizing just choose one size smaller than usual for a comparable Women's fit - The leggings are made of a stretchy material, so the fit differences between men and women's cut are minimal compared to other products.
