Water Margin Series — Lei Heng “Winged Tiger” Woodblock Jian T-Shirt - Unisex Tee (Cotton)
€21.90
This design brings to life Lei Heng, the fearsome “Winged Tiger” from the Water Margin 水浒传, one of the Four Great Classical Novels of Chinese literature.
Ranked 25th among the 36 Heavenly Spirits of the Liangshan heroes, Lei Heng is portrayed as a powerful and uncompromising figure — tall, broad, and fiercely loyal. The novel describes him as possessing immense physical strength and remarkable agility, capable of leaping walls and crossing wide streams with ease. These qualities earned him both his legendary nickname and his reputation as a man of action and principle.
The artwork used for this shirt is based on an early 19th-century Japanese woodblock drawing titled Chinese Warrior, dated to circa 1820. Most likely created within the Hokusai school, the piece is attributed to an unknown artist, possibly Hokkei or Gakutei.
The warrior Lei Heng is wielding a Chinese jian (straight sword), a weapon associated with refinement, discipline, and cultivated martial skill, adding a layer of symbolism that contrasts controlled technique with raw strength.
The image has been carefully restored and colorized in a style faithful to traditional woodblock printing, preserving bold linework, dynamic movement, and a restrained ink-and-wash palette while adapting it for contemporary wear.
Featuring the warrior on the back, allowing the full impact of the woodblock artwork to stand on its own. The front of the tee is kept clean and understated, marked with the brush-calligraphy characters 水浒传 (Shui Hu Zhuan) — The Water Margin — anchoring the piece firmly within the classical tradition that inspired it.
Printed on high-quality cotton, this shirt is available in two classic colorways: white and cream, chosen to complement the artwork and echo the natural tones of historical paper and ink.
More than a graphic, this piece is a convergence of Classical Chinese heroic legend and Martial spirit, loyalty, and brotherhood
Wear the Winged Tiger — a living chapter from the Water Margin.
