JAPANESE
SAMURAI FOX: HONOUR
MEN'S ・WOMEN'S ・UNISEX
HOODED TOP

A Samurai Kitsune Fox print, with calligraphy describing one of the seven principles of Bushido: Meiyo - 名誉 (Honour).
The Japanese calligraphy to the left says: "Honour - the virtue of always striving for integrity and being conscious of personal dignity and worth."

The principles of Bushido guided a samurai's conduct, emphasizing values such as honour, loyalty, courage, justice, compassion, honesty, and self-control. A breach of these principles could lead to disgrace.

The fear of disgrace, or "kizuna" in Japanese, was a significant aspect of a samurai's mindset and conduct within the Bushido code. For a samurai, the prospect of dishonour or disgrace was often more feared than physical harm or death itself.

Overall, the fear of disgrace served as a powerful motivator for samurai to adhere to the strict code of ethics and conduct that defined their way of life. It was a deeply ingrained aspect of their mentality and contributed to the discipline, loyalty, and ethical behavior associated with the samurai class in Japanese history.
