We want to express a new style of kimono, "Radical yet Traditional".
In the summer of 2023, "OTOKOIKI" project will start.
The first project to be commemorated is the SPECIAL EDITION, featuring "Shouzi Tanaka," vocalist of "Sledgehammer," a core presence in the Japanese skinheads rock scene, as the model, and "Takahisa Tamura," representative of "Tamuraya" in Kyoto, which has a long history of Nishijin textile techniques and traditions (he himself is a member of the Oi punk band "C.O.S."), as the designer of the complete set of items, including kimonos. The kimono and other items were produced by Mr. Takahisa Tamura, a representative of Kyoto's Tamuraya (who himself is active as a vocalist in the Oi punk band "COCKNEY COCKS"), who has inherited the long history of Nishijin textile techniques and traditions, and the original model was produced and worn. Kimono production was done by a team of skilled craftsmen who have inherited traditional techniques and are still active in the field, resulting in a work of truly one-of-a-kind quality.
A photo/movie session was held on the streets, marking a spectacular start to the "Han-iki" project.
How will this project develop and evolve in the future?
Please stay tuned.
