Wikipedia tells us that, "Cultural heritage is the legacy of cultural resources and intangible attributes of a group or society that is inherited from past generations. Not all legacies of past generations are "heritage", rather heritage is a product of selection by society" With that being said the Heritage Series of emblems from Molded Innovations embodies the most iconic images from Japanese culture and folklore!
This listing you are looking at here depicts one Japan's most notorious warriors, the Samurai or "Bushi" the Samurai were a group of ruthless warriors born out of the Heian Period, this period from 710-1185 laid the ground work for what was to be one of the most violent periods in Japanese history. As the Samurai culture began to grow many of these warriors found their way into the private markets, working for wealthy land owners that had begun to build their own form of protection squads so to speak. These clans would do battle with Japan’s central government and each other on a scale that even to this day is paralleled only by some of the worst modern conflicts, all hand to hand battle mind you! As with any battle, a victor emerged from the chaos, Minamoto Yoritomo a leader of clan that kicked off some of the conflicts we just spoke about during the Heian Period established a new military government that paved the way for the Samurai to rule over Japan for most of the next 700 years.
It was during the Kamakura period 1185-1333 that the first use of the word Katana is found describing a long sword used by the Samurai during battle on foot, through the years these swords evolved and were made in multiple different styles to suit the needs of the Samurai and other soldiers but one thing remained the same, lethality of the sword in the hands of a trained Samurai.
As with all periods of history change is the only constant and roughly after 1000 years the Samurai class was abolished entirely following the end of the Feudal era that saw the rise of one of history’s most iconic warriors. But that doesn’t mean the story has to end their, you can preserve a part of this culture by displaying the Samurai Emblem on your 2015+ WRX / STI.
