Sashimono (Ronin War Banner) Coin
Coin Size: 3" H x 2" W
We've made a coin version of the Sashimono (指物, 差物, 挿物) which were small banners historically worn by Samurai warriors during feudal Japan.
The banners, resembling small flags and bearing
clan symbols, were most prominent during the Sengoku period—a period of long civil war in Japan from the middle 15th to early 17th century.
The Sashimono were used to provide a sense of
“uniform” to the armies. Sashimono typically came in either square or short rectangular shapes. Throughout history, many warriors from many battles would proudly display their war banners during combat. During my time in battle,
I have proudly worn and carried symbols of my unit and regiment. As a modern-day Rōnin, I feel that it is important to understand such traditions. “For how would we ever understand where we need to go, if we don’t understand where we have been? These traditions are what helps us understand the purpose in what we
DO.” -Rōnin

As a masterless warrior, I choose to follow in the ways of past warriors by honoring the ways of tradition. As a Rōnin, I choose to proudly display my
war banner as I continue to walk my journey of a thousand miles.
