Crafted from 100% rayon, this shirt offers a breathable, lightweight feel with a soft and smooth texture against the skin. Its excellent moisture absorbency and relaxed drape make it an ideal piece for warm weather.
The design draws inspiration from a classical waka poem attributed to Sugawara no Michizane (845–903), a highly respected scholar, poet, and statesman of Japan’s Heian period. Known for his deep connection with nature and literature, Michizane wrote the following verse while visiting the Kojima-Takagoto region in Okayama:
“Funetomete nami no tadayou koto no ura / kayou wa yama no matsukaze no oto”
“The boat lies still as the waves drift at Koto-no-Ura;
what travels through is the sound of wind in the mountain pines.”This poem paints a serene moment by the bay—where time feels suspended, and nature speaks in whispers. It reflects core elements of traditional Japanese aesthetics such as wabi-sabi (beauty in transience), ma (quiet space), and harmony with nature.
To capture this cultural nuance, the verse is expressed entirely in hiragana, the soft and flowing Japanese syllabary.
The shirt features a relaxed, roomy silhouette, allowing for a comfortable and unrestrictive fit.
