What is a Shingen bag?
A Shingen bag is a cloth tote bag with a bottom plate and a ties at the top. Nowadays, people of all ages, from young to old, use it to store small items (cell phones, wallets, etc.) when wearing a yukata or kimono. For men, dark colors are considered standard, as well as monochrome, and are characterized by traditional Japanese patterns.
What kind of person was Takeda Shingen?
I think everyone has heard of Takeda Shingen, a historical figure, but let's take a look at what he did during his lifetime.
・The most distinctive impression of Takeda Shingen is that he is a strong person .
His strength was so overwhelming that he was defeated by Tokugawa Ieyasu, the man who had taken control of the country, in the Battle of Mikatagahara!
The secret to his strength was his ability to see into people's hearts, which was also one of Takeda Shingen's charms. Shingen was a man of great heart and a well-liked character. As one of Takeda Shingen's famous quotes states, "People are castles, people are stone walls, people are moats. Compassion is an ally, enemy is an enemy," he was a man who cared more about others than himself.
The author of this article believes that Takeda Shingen was actually a very weak, crybaby boy in his childhood. Looking at Takeda Shingen's character, he believes that he was a wonderful person who could not be kind to others unless he understood the pain of others.
An even more surprising side of Shingen is that he was interested in men! He would often send love letters to specific warlords. He also gathered beautiful young men that Shingen liked as his aides.
The relationship between Takeda Shingen and Shingenbukuro
In fact, the Shingen bag actually has a real name, which was originally called "Akitsuke bag." The reason it was changed to the Shingen bag is that Takeda Shingen used the Akitsuke bag to store small items on his way to battle, so it is called the Shingen bag.
Was she an extremely popular person, or someone you admire? Nowadays, if a very famous model or actress carries a stylish bag, that bag will sell, but it doesn't have to be named after someone.
He is such a great man that his name is still famous in our time, and there is even a Shingen bag named after him! There is no doubt that he was the object of admiration for many men.
