Toyotomi clan Mon T-shirt

$39.52 AUD

🛡️ Design Description

This T-shirt features the kamon (family crest) of the Toyotomi clan, known as the Paulownia Crest (Kiri-mon). The design shows five-three paulownia leaves (Gosan-no-kiri / 五三の桐), a symbol long associated with imperial authority and later adopted by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the second of Japan’s “Three Great Unifiers.”

Toyotomi Hideyoshi rose from peasant origins to become Kampaku (Imperial Regent) and effectively ruled Japan after Oda Nobunaga's death. His sharp mind and political genius earned him the nickname “The Monkey” (Saru / 猿) from Nobunaga himself, though he would later be revered as a demigod of unification.

The paulownia crest he adopted had originally been used by the imperial court and the Ashikaga shogunate. It became a symbol of ambition, imperial favor, and the right to rule. Today, a similar version of the crest is still used by the Japanese government.

🛡️ デザインの説明
このTシャツには、豊臣氏の家紋「五三の桐(ごさんのきり)」が描かれています。これは桐紋とも呼ばれ、かつては皇室や足利将軍家にも使われていた高貴な紋章です。三枚の葉に五つ・三つ・五つの花を配したデザインは、帝の信任と統治権の象徴とされています。

豊臣秀吉は、農民の出身ながら織田信長の死後に政権を握り、関白にまで昇りつめた戦国の風雲児です。信長からはその機敏さから「」のあだ名で呼ばれていましたが、後には天下統一を果たした偉人として神格化されました。

この家紋は、秀吉の野心と正統性の象徴として広く知られ、現代でも類似のデザインが日本政府の紋章として使用されています。
