Kato Kiyomasa Merch

This is the kamon of Kato clan, Janome (蛇の目) or "Serpent's Eye", in silver chrome style.

Kato Kiyomasa (加藤清正) was a Japanese samurai and daimyo of the Sengoku periods. He began his career under Hideyoshi, first serving as his page and eventually rising to prominence into adulthood. He is one of the many Toyotomi generals who join the Eastern Army prior to Sekigahara, but he is best known for allegedly staying loyal to Hideyoshi's memory. A popular legend states that while he served Ieyasu, he concealed a short dagger within his robes wherever he went at all times. If Ieyasu threatened to end Hideyori on his watch, the story states that Kiyomasa was more than willing to use it on Ieyasu. After his death, he is lauded as one of the Seven Spears of Shizugatake.
