Patchwork foodie
The designer personally applied aging techniques — cultivated through years of costume design work — to scraps of denim fabric. Those denim pieces were then hand-stitched patch by patch by the grandmothers of Otsuchi, Iwate, and sewn into the hoodie.
Rather than displaying the patchwork on the outside, it is deliberately hidden inside the hood lining.
Despite the hardships brought by the tsunami, the grandmothers of Otsuchi Sashiko continued to stitch with energy and smiles — and you can feel their strength in this piece.
The more you wear it, the more the aging deepens — a hoodie designed to be enjoyed over time.

[Back protection(Semamori)] [Abare Noshi]
A long time ago in Japan, there was a custom called Semamori.
It is said that a person's soul resides in their back, and that the seams on the back of their kimono serve as ``eyes'' to watch over and protect themselves from evil spirits that may sneak up on them.
At that time, children's kimonos were small and did not have seams on the back, so they added embroidery and decorative stitches to protect the children from monsters.
The pattern ``Abare Noshi'' is a very auspicious pattern that has the meaning of ``connection between people'', as it is made up of ``Noshi'', an ancient Japanese auspicious charm, tied together. The pattern of this wild noshi is also the pattern of the kimono that my mother, Kazuko Kurosawa, wore during Shichi-Go-San.
As a lucky charm for everyone who purchased the item, this embroidery of Abare Noshi will be applied to all Kurosawa costume products.
