Most of Martial Arts Essence designs come from original Japanese woodblock prints from the 18th & 19th century. The images are meticulously extracted and edited from the woodblock prints. Martial Arts Essence has limited the number of shirts produced for each print to 1,000. After 1,000 shirts are sold for any print, they will not be made available again. However, the information will remain on the website for reference with a sold out status. Martial Arts Essence is concerned with the quality and detail of each shirt offered rather then quantity of shirt designs offered. Each shirt design may take many weeks of painstaking editing with attention to the original artist detail.

The Samurai mushin shirt image was meticulously extracted from a Kuniyoshi woodblock print from 1848. The fine detail of Kuniyoshi that was smudged and almost lost in the original print has been professionally restored to the original condition. The story that this Samurai warrior came from is the Japanese Classic called Hakkenden, also known as the "8 Dog Tale." It is the longest Japanese classic with 106 volumes and was a story that Utagawa "Ichiyusai" Kuniyoshi (1797 - 1861) illustrated. This very rare Kuniyoshi print is now made available for the world to enjoy in full splendour with the first shirt in the Martial Arts Essence series!
