SAMURAI JEANS SCT26-101 Heavyweight T-shirt Short-sleeved T-shirt Printed T-shirt

The owl is also known as the "ninja of the forest."

In Japan, in particular, it is revered as a sacred bird that brings good fortune. In some regions, it is seen as a deity that wakes up at night to vigilantly watch over and scout the village. This "power of sight" symbolizes the ability to foresee the future and wisdom, and the belief that it possesses such powers has led to its veneration as a harbinger of good luck.

Furthermore, in Japanese, "fukurō" (梟), meaning owl, has the same pronunciation as "fukurō" (不苦労), which means "no hardship," implying that it takes away hardships and brings much happiness.

This kind of wordplay makes the owl a familiar and cherished presence for Japanese people.

This is an original heavy-weight T-shirt series with a rich texture, carefully knitted from selected high-quality raw cotton using thick, uneven 14-count yarn on a "Daimaruki" — an old-style circular knitting machine that was active in Japan in the early Showa period.

Knitted at a low speed with thick single threads, this fabric offers a warm and distinctive texture, along with a firm feel and supple softness.

The collar features a highly durable binder neck with a three-needle specification, designed to resist stretching even after repeated wear. It is sewn using a special three-needle, one-thread-drop sewing machine.

This T-shirt series is carefully crafted to offer increasing texture and strength with each wear.
