William Reed Original Samurai Samue (working clothes)
https://store.shopping.yahoo.co.jp/shitateyajingoro/a02-70010-0-00.html
Designed like a martial arts uniform, but intended for daily wear, this Samue also contains embroidered symbols which tell a story. On the back is the character for 道 meaning Path or Way in William Reed's brushwork, as the Do in Aikido, Karatedo, Judo. On the front is embroidered a Rising Dragon, which itself contains many symbols; the Salmon climbing the waterfall to be transformed into a Dragon of mythical proportions, with the horns of a deer, the head of a camel, the eyes of a demon, the body of a snake, the scales of a carp, the under body of a water dragon, the palms of a tiger, and the claws of a falcon. The creature carries a Peony blossom, the symbol of Culture and the flowering of Life. The creature draws Ki energy from the many elements of the earth and carries them to the Heavens in the blossoming of culture. The designer's signature is embedded in the creature's body like a tail. The obi or belt contains William Reed's brush signature combing the characters for Samurai 士 and Mind 心, which together form the meaning of Will or Mission, surrounding the English word Will, which is also the name of the author. The website is in Japanese, but it is possible to order the Samue in 4 different colors, and various sizes as available, which are described on the site. This Samurai Samue was designed in collaboration with Shitateya Jingoro, which makes Kimono and Japanese clothing which fits easily into a modern lifestyle.

Traditional Japanese Colors
On this page I introduce products from Japan which I personally feel are highly compatible with SAMURAI WALK, not only in the design and craftsmanship, but in the philosophy of the creators. I use them personally, and feel that they enhance the experience of SAMURAI WALK in daily life. Color and Design are and integral part of these products. Begin by refining your sense for Japanese Traditional Colors. There are 465 colors in common use, and over 1300 identified. Enjoy the names and the nuances, with a list of colors, names, and Hex Value numbers to reproduce the colors on software. http://kidorakujapan.com/know/others_color.html

YOSHIYUKI
Ogata Yoshiyuki is a designer of clothing that is inspired by themes from Samurai Culture, Martial Arts, and a spirit I would call pure Renaissance Samurai. Traditional Japanese clothing helped reinforce the posture, movement, and spirit of NANBA, but Yoshiyuki has succeeded in doing this with contemporary Japan Cool. |

Japan Handmade Samurai Armor Instructors Association
https://j-yoroi.jimdo.com/
We established this association headquartered on the campus of the International College of Liberal Arts (iCLA)
https://www.icla.jp/en/
It is designed to support the participation of iCLA students in Samurai Festivals such as the Shingenko Matsuri, the largest Samurai Festival in the World, held each April to celebrate the history of Takeda Shingen.
However, our activities have spread to other prefectures, and even overseas to Taiwan. We make Samurai Armor by hand, and research various elements of Samurai culture.
Although the website is in Japanese, we teach in a bilingual environment to students from many countries around the world.
