Specifications

Inspired by Sakamoto Ryoma

Sakamoto Ryoma was a prominent figure during the final years of the Tokugawa shogunate. He is remembered for his role in the political movement that contributed to the overthrow of the Tokugawa shogunate and the transformation of Japan during the Bakumatsu period.

Ryoma was also known for his efforts to bring rival domains together through negotiation. His political activities made him a target of supporters of the Tokugawa government, and he was later assassinated at an inn in Kyoto.

This tessen incorporates his name into a traditional Japanese fan design, making it an appealing collectible for those interested in Sakamoto Ryoma, Bakumatsu history, samurai culture, and the final years of the Edo period.

Traditional Japanese Tessen Design

The tessen, or iron hand fan, is a distinctive Japanese fan style associated with samurai and martial arts culture. Its reinforced iron ribs provide a sturdy structure while retaining the elegant folding form of a traditional Japanese fan.

The decorative paper surface features Japanese-inspired artwork designed to capture the visual character of traditional Japanese culture.

Japanese Historical Display

The compact 24.2 cm (9.5") size makes this Sakamoto Ryoma tessen easy to display in a home, office, dojo, or Japanese-themed collection. Its connection to one of the most recognizable figures of the Bakumatsu period makes it particularly appealing to Japanese history enthusiasts, samurai collectors, Sakamoto Ryoma fans, and martial arts practitioners.
