Samurai Jeans Bonsai Cotton Bandana | navy
The Samurai Jeans "Bonsai" Bandana is more than an accessory, it is a wearable talisman for good fortune. Woven from a crisp, lightweight 100% cotton fabric, this navy bandana features a traditional "discharge" print that will age and soften alongside your favorite raw denim.
The Hidden Meaning: "Goyomatsu" The intricate design centers on a Japanese White Pine (Five-Leaf Pine) bonsai. In Japanese, this tree is called Goyomatsu.
The Wordplay: The name Goyomatsu sounds identical to the phrase "Waiting for work" (御用を待つ).
The Message: Wearing this pattern is a traditional merchant's prayer for business success, good luck, and new opportunities to come your way.
The Details: The pine is surrounded by cherry blossom (Sakura) bonsai trees, symbolizing the fleeting beauty of life, and framed by Buddhist scripture about impermanence, reminding the wearer to stay grounded.
True "Discharge" Printing Samurai Jeans uses a premium discharge printing technique for this piece. Instead of layering thick ink on top of the fabric, this process removes the navy dye to reveal the natural cotton color beneath. This ensures the fabric remains breathable, smooth to the touch, and free of the rubbery texture found on cheaper bandanas.
