The new Half Sumo “Oyabun” tank top is a comfortable lightweight cotton tank top inspired by our love of Japanese underground culture and lore.
In yakuza hierarchies, the oyabun (親分), or “parent figure,” stands as the ultimate authority, a leader who commands respect and loyalty. The oyabun-kobun relationship is akin to a familial bond, where the kobun (子分), or “child figure,” pledges unwavering allegiance in exchange for protection and guidance. This dynamic is deeply rooted in traditional Japanese values, emphasizing loyalty, honor and duty
Exploring this theme reveals a world where ancient rituals and strict codes govern a clandestine society, offering a fascinating glimpse into an otherwise hidden part of Japanese culture.
