June 13, 2009: Samurai Underwear

Gone are the days when a true samurai would wear underpants made only of badger hide, to prevent debilitating lice infestations on long campaigns.

Sexy Samurai underwear is the new rage in Japan. Tight underwear for men featuring patterns from actual Samurai warrior armor is proving to be a hit with women looking for presents for boyfriends and other men.

Interest in the civil wars of the 15th and 16th centuries is always high in Japan and this latest underwear crazes is capitalizing on this trend.

Rogin, a Tokyo apparel company has 10 kinds of Samurai underwear including those that resemble the designs worn by leaders Oda Nobunaga and Takeda Shingen.

The company is having a hard time keep Samurai underwear on store shelves, even though the price is near $90- $125 each.

I think there is a lot to be said for the black version. Those white ones just don't look quite right. :eyebrow:
