The Uesugi governed Echigo (present-day Niigata Prefecture) for the Shogun but found themselves struggling and disunited as civil war engulfed Japan. Rallying under the legendary Uesugi Kenshin, they held their own against powerful rival clans (mainly the Oda, Takeda and Hojo) who fought them for control of the Kanto Plain. Uesugi Kenshin died in 1578, but he is well remembered in Japan today, with pop star Gackt portraying him on television and in live historical reenactments. Now you can wear the sashimono that the Uesugi warriors wore into battle and carry their glory into the present day!
This short-sleeve t-shirt is printed front and back, with the clan mon over the left breast and a representation of the sashimono that identified soldiers' loyalty on the back.
