ISSHŌ KENMEI Tenugui
A bold, original KendoStar Tenugui featuring the phrase 一生剣命 and the KendoStar motto #KendoIsLife.
The ISSHŌ KENMEI Tenugui is an original KendoStar design, created around a play on the well-known Japanese phrase 一生懸命, Isshō Kenmei, which means to try one’s very hardest.
In this design, the character 懸 has been replaced with 剣, the character for sword. This gives the phrase the same reading, Isshō Kenmei, but with a Kendo-inspired meaning: dedicating one’s life to the sword.
Kendo is Life.
This Tenugui expresses the spirit behind #KendoIsLife: not simply doing Kendo as a hobby, but approaching it with effort, commitment, and a lifelong connection to the sword.
Meaning of the Design

Translation:
A Kendo-inspired variation of Isshō Kenmei, meaning to try one’s very hardest.
By using the character 剣, sword, this design gives the phrase the meaning of dedicating one’s life to the sword.
