The Arm Bar Soap Company

Honorable death through the lens of legendary Japanese 19th century artist, Utagawa Kunikazu. Although not in all cases, Seppuku, or "self-disembowelment", was performed when capture was inevitable, to avoid falling into the hands of the enemy and being tortured. This ritual act of taking one’s own life was thought to be a definitive demonstration of a samurai’s courage, strong resolve, and self-control, for seppuku is an extremely painful, slow way to die. It showed a true samurai’s sincerity of purpose.

While the back of the tee features Kunikazu's XL Woodblock print, the front features characters for "Seppuku", surrounded by 2 slits, representing the stroked cuts when Samurai performed the ritual.

Each heavyweight garment is made from 100% Combed Cotton and features an athletic fit. Designed in Hawai'i. Made and printed in Los Angeles, California.

*Model is 5'11" 185 lbs and wearing a size Large.

The Edo Period was a heavy and gruesome time in history - a point in time where shogun and their loyal samurai warriors ruled over feudal Japan. Bloodshed and war were commonplace and a strict code of Bushido was strictly followed. Although a bloody part of history, it is indeed history, and one we feel ties into the DNA of the roots of our beloved Jiu Jitsu.

Dreamed up between training sessions under blue skies in Tahiti, these bacteria-beaters from the south pacific rainforest come loaded with hand-gathered ingredients known to aid grapplers.

"Kaminari" means "thunder & lightning" and it was a name that stuck while we were visiting farms and Jiu Jitsu academies between a drizzly Tokyo and Kyoto.
