Why Many Overseas Men Are Drawn to Samurai Style| Samurai・Ronin・Bushido・Ninja and Men’s Kimono
2025年11月15日
Over the past few years, the number of overseas customers visiting Japan has been steadily increasing.
Among men who choose men’s kimono, some naturally mention the word “Samurai.”
“I feel like Samurai.”
“This looks like Ronin style.”
“Bushido… cool!”
I often hear these kinds of reactions.
Why are many overseas men fascinated by Samurai aesthetics?
And why does men’s kimono so easily connect with the idea of “Samurai Style”?
Today, I will explain the reasons in a simple way.
Why Overseas Men Admire Samurai (Samurai)
Bushido = Sincerity, Quiet Strength, “Japanese Spirit”
Overseas, Bushido (the way of the warrior) is often understood as a symbol of
honesty, discipline, calm strength,
and the traditional spirit of Japan.
Ronin = Freedom, Minimalism, Lone-Wolf Image
The image of Ronin (masterless Samurai)—
freedom, independence, minimalism—
is also popular around the world.
Movies, Anime, and Games Spread Samurai Culture Globally
Words like Samurai / Ninja / Katana have spread worldwide through
movies, anime, and video games,
which also strengthens the global fascination.
Why Men’s Kimono Connects with “Samurai Style”
Men’s kimono has a straight, simple silhouette.
Dark colors—black, navy, brown—match the global image of “Samurai colors.”
As a result, men’s kimono easily overlaps the image many overseas men have.
Haori = Ronin Vibe
A Haori (kimono jacket) is often called a “Japanese Jacket” overseas.
Wearing a Haori over kimono can create a relaxed, Ronin-like silhouette.
Hakama = Authentic Samurai Style
Adding Hakama immediately brings the look closer to a traditional Samurai warrior.
• Haori → Ronin atmosphere
• Hakama → Traditional Samurai
This makes the image very easy to understand for overseas customers.
For a Light Samurai Experience (Souvenir Style)
→ Men’s Kimono Takemoto – Ginza Icchome Store
Some overseas customers say,
“I want to try a light Samurai Style outfit quickly.”
For customers who want a casual or souvenir-like style,
the Ginza Icchome store (ready-made items) is a good match.

For Authentic Samurai Style & Quality Materials
→ Men’s Kimono Takemoto (Main Store)
On the other hand, customers who say:
• “I want real silk.”
• “I want a quiet, dignified Samurai mood.”
• “I want to complete Haori and Hakama properly.”
• “I want to order a tailor-made set.”
These customers are best suited for the Main Store.
The Main Store carries colors and materials that match the aesthetics of Samurai Style.
Conclusion｜Men’s Kimono is Today’s “Modern Samurai Style”
Overseas men strongly admire Japanese warrior aesthetics such as
Samurai, Ronin, Bushido, Ninja.
Men’s kimono is one of the best ways to express that aesthetic in a modern form.
