🏷️ Akechi Clan Mon T-Shirt – The Bellflower Crest of Ambition and Treachery

🛡️ Design Description
This t-shirt features the kamon of the Akechi clan (明智氏): the Five-Segmented Bellflower, or Itsutsu-wari Kikyō (五つ割り桔梗). Clean and symmetrical, the kikyō (bellflower) symbolizes unshaken integrity and hidden strength — values that defined the rise and fall of one of Japan’s most infamous samurai tacticians.
このTシャツには、明智氏の家紋「五つ割り桔梗」が描かれています。整然とした桔梗の紋は、気高さと内に秘めた力を象徴し、日本史上最も波乱に満ちた武将・明智光秀の運命を映し出しています。

🎁 About This Design (Perfect as a Gift)
Perfect for fans of historical intrigue, Sengoku period warfare, or admirers of the mysterious figure Akechi Mitsuhide. A unique gift tied to the drama and tragedy of Japan’s warring states.
戦国時代の歴史や明智光秀のような謎めいた人物に惹かれる方への特別な贈り物です。波乱と悲劇の物語を背負う、特別な一枚です。

🏯 Cultural Note
The Akechi clan gained historical notoriety through Akechi Mitsuhide (明智光秀), a general under Oda Nobunaga. In 1582, Mitsuhide launched a surprise attack at Honnō-ji Temple, forcing Nobunaga to commit seppuku. This betrayal, known as the Honnō-ji Incident, dramatically altered the course of Japanese history.

Though Mitsuhide’s rule was brief (only 13 days before Toyotomi Hideyoshi avenged Nobunaga), his intellect, courtly manner, and refined aesthetics earned him lasting fascination. In modern Japan, he’s often reinterpreted as a tragic strategist rather than mere traitor.

The Kikyō-mon was also used by other families (e.g., Toki clan), but the five-segmented version in this design is especially associated with the Akechi lineage.
明智氏は、織田信長の重臣であった明智光秀によって歴史に名を残しました。1582年、本能寺の変において信長を襲撃し、自害に追い込んだことは、日本史における大事件です。

わずか十三日間の統治の後、豊臣秀吉によって討たれましたが、光秀の知略、教養、そして風雅な人格は、単なる裏切り者としてではなく、悲劇的な戦略家として後世に語られています。

桔梗紋は他家(例:土岐氏)でも使用されましたが、この「五つ割り桔梗」は明智氏を代表する意匠として知られています。
