🏷️ Taira Clan Mon T-shirt – The Butterfly Crest of a Noble Warrior Lineage
🛡️ Design Description
This T-shirt features the elegant Ageha-cho (揚羽蝶) kamon, also known as the "Swallowtail Butterfly," historically used by the Taira clan (平氏)—one of the most powerful and prestigious warrior families of the Heian period. The butterfly symbolizes beauty, nobility, and fleeting life—a perfect emblem for a clan deeply tied to courtly refinement and tragic downfall.
The Taira were rivals of the Minamoto clan, and their epic struggle culminated in the famous Genpei War (1180–1185), ending with their defeat at the legendary Battle of Dan-no-ura (1185). Taira no Kiyomori, a formidable leader of the clan, rose to immense power and influence, even marrying his daughter into the imperial family. Despite their downfall, the Taira's crest lives on as a symbol of sophistication, power, and tragic heroism.
このTシャツには、優雅な「揚羽蝶（あげはちょう）」の家紋が描かれており、平安時代に最も権威を誇った武士一族の一つである**平氏（たいらし）**によって使用されていました。蝶は美しさ、高貴さ、そして儚さを象徴し、宮廷文化と深く関わる平氏にふさわしい紋章です。
平氏は源氏との長きに渡る宿敵関係にあり、その頂点は有名な**源平合戦（1180〜1185）で、最終的には伝説の壇ノ浦の戦い（1185年）**で敗北しました。平清盛は平氏の中でも屈指の権力者であり、自らの娘を天皇家に嫁がせることで、政治的にも大きな影響力を持ちました。その壮麗で儚い栄華は、家紋「揚羽蝶」に込められ、今もなお気品と武士の美学を伝えています。
