🏷️ Yagyū Family Kamon T-Shirt – The Hidden Sparrows of the Swordmaster Clan

€21.80

🛡️ Design Description
This t-shirt displays the rare and distinguished kamon of the Yagyū family (柳生氏): Waremokou ni Suzume (地楡に雀) – “Sparrows in Burnet.” The mon depicts two sparrows nestled within the leaves of the waremokou herb, symbolizing vigilance, modesty, and inner strength. Its soft curves and natural flow contrast the sharp steel of the Yagyū blade, creating a striking duality.
このTシャツには、剣豪一族・柳生氏の家紋「地楡に雀」が描かれています。地楡(われもこう)の葉に囲まれた二羽の雀は、慎ましさ、警戒心、そして内なる力を象徴しています。柔らかな自然の意匠と、柳生の鋭き剣の精神が見事に融合した家紋です。

🏯 Cultural Note
The Yagyū clan (柳生氏), originating in Yamato Province, is best known for producing Japan’s most respected sword instructors. Yagyū Munenori (柳生宗矩) served as kenjutsu instructor and political advisor to the Tokugawa shoguns, founding the renowned Yagyū Shinkage-ryū (柳生新陰流) school.

Unlike many samurai families who used bold and martial crests, the Yagyū adopted the subtle and botanical “Sparrow in Burnet” mon — a unique emblem that reflected their philosophical and spiritual approach to combat. It embodies restraint, strategy, and the ability to move silently yet decisively.

This kamon is exclusive to the Yagyū lineage, and rarely found outside their family. Its quiet strength has become a symbol of refined martial legacy.
柳生氏は大和国の出身で、日本史上最も有名な剣術指南役を輩出した一族です。柳生宗矩は徳川家康・秀忠・家光の三代に仕え、柳生新陰流を確立しました。

多くの武家が力強い武的な家紋を使う中で、柳生氏は「地楡に雀」という植物的で繊細な家紋を用いました。それは、戦いにおける精神性や思慮深さ、静かなる動きを重視する柳生の戦い方を象徴しています。

この家紋は柳生家特有のものであり、他家ではほとんど見られません。静かなる威厳を表す剣の象徴です。
