Oni Crusher Tee

鬼砕き (oni-kudaki): "the oni crusher."

Kyoto in the Heian period had trouble on Mount Ōe: an oni chief named Shuten-dōji, the sake-drinking boy, who carried off young women from the capital. Minamoto no Raikō and his four retainers climbed the mountain dressed as wandering priests, shared a jar of drugged sake with him, and cut off his head while he slept. The sword credited with the job, Dōjigiri Yasutsuna, is a National Treasure at the Tokyo National Museum.

The front catches the fight at its worst moment: a huge red oni in a gold and navy robe claws down at a small samurai in full armor, who raises his katana into the swirling black smoke. Across the top, in black brush, is 鬼砕き (oni-kudaki), "oni crusher."

The art covers most of the front, and white cotton gives the black smoke room, so the shirt does the talking. Bigger and smaller demons fill the oni and masks line. Underdog fans, this one's yours.
