SAMURAI JEANS - SJST24-102 Heavy Weight T-Shirt - Navy

A legend that speaks to the powerful bond between mother and child, this tells the story of Ryutotaro, who was born from Tsusaboro Wada and the woman Katsura (who was the incarnation of a dragon). Fully grown, he seeks to avenge his parents and does battle with the dragon, Ushikubo Gunryu, who had destroyed his mother long ago. The scene where he does battle using his mother's mirror is a very famous image in Japanese folklore and is often seen in tattoos and woodblock prints.

Our original heavyweight T-shirt series that uses only select high-quality raw cotton spun into slubby #14 threads. The fabric is knit on a vintage circular knitting machine known as “Daimaruki” that was used widely in Japan in the first half of the 20th century, resulting in a firm yet supple softness and level of comfort.
