Black Japanese Embroidered Hoodie with Samurai mask from traditional Japanese art.  Dimension of embroidery on the back is 400 by 400 mm and the symbol on the front is 130 mm.
Samurai masks, called mempo, were facial armor worn by Japanese Samurai warriors. They were made out of leather and iron and were designed not only to protect the warrior’s face but also intimidate their enemies. The masks were effective in protecting the Samurai from facial injuries during battle. These practical disguises also became a fearsome sight across Japan and beyond. On this hoodie, the mask is associated with the cherry blossom that represents a meaningful life and also death in Bushido culture.
On the front is embroiedered 'Spirit' in Japanese kanji. Samurais built their character in a myriad of ways: physical and mental conditioning, cultivation of character, using a heightened sense of morality and nurturing an attitude of respectful courtesy.
