From Ramen Sandwich Tees' line of apparel honoring the great samurai clans of the epic, turbulent period of Japanese history known as the Sengoku Jidai: a short-sleeved tee featuring the badge (mon) of the Oda Clan on the front and a soldier's back-flag (sashimono) on the back. The Oda reached their peak during the meteoric career of their last great leader, Oda Nobunaga. When Nobunaga was assassinated in 1582, he lorded over half of Japan; this after inheriting a small domain around Nagoya from his father. He remains one of the dominant figures of that era, and if you’ve seen Kurosawa’s classic film Kagemusha, we’ll bet that you remember him as the eccentric warlord who sealed the Takeda Clan’s fate at the Battle of Nagashino.

This is a great item for history and Japanese culture fans alike. Over 400 years since Tokugawa Ieyasu established himself as Shogun and brought it to and end, the Sengoku Jidai period continues to fascinate the world over. Its memory endures across the cultural spectrum, from movies and TV, to PC and video games like Shogun: Total War and Nobunaga’s Ambition, to Japan’s lively historical reenactment events. Now you can wear the sashimono that Oda Nobunaga’s soldiers wore into battle and carry their glory into the present day!
