ARTWORK: Fujin Raijin and Maiko <br>Takashi Murakami has updated the powerful Fujin and Raijin by Tawaraya Sōtatsu into a cute, mascot-like character with his own unique sensibility. Along with the animated-style maiko depicted in the background, this is an original character that was created as a result of an exhibition in Kyoto.

DETAIL
This garment is reversible. The sleeves feature a dragon drawn by Yuta Hosokawa. The back print uses a dragon newly drawn by Hosokawa himself, based on Takashi Murakami's "Blue Dragon." Modifying Takashi Murakami's work is a special approach that would not normally be possible, and it is an expression unique to this collaboration between the two. Furthermore, Hosokawa selected two skulls from Takashi Murakami's works and expressed them in embroidery. As a finishing touch, vintage processing, a specialty of Yuta Hosokawa, is applied, resulting in a garment with depth, texture, and presence.

ARTWORK: Cherry Blossoms <br>Among Takashi Murakami's artworks, the popular character "cherry blossoms" are featured, second only to "flowers." The splendor and exhilaration of the fully bloomed "cherry blossoms," which differ from the eternity of "flowers," reflect the Japanese aesthetic of "cherry blossoms" that bloom and scatter in a short period of time.

DETAIL
This double-faced sweatshirt combines thermal fabric with an original fabric. The thermal lining features an original print, the zipper is processed separately before being attached to the body, and the body itself undergoes the vintage processing that Mr. Hosokawa is known for. After fading, multiple layers of distressing are applied to create a garment with a deep texture and presence that looks like it has been worn for many years.

DETAIL
This mock neck T-shirt features an original body developed by Yuta Hosokawa. It's one of Hosokawa's signature items, frequently appearing in his apparel line. Unusually for an apparel product, it was created using multiple printing plates, with the original plate being remade many times until the designer was satisfied. The finishing touch is a vintage processing technique that Hosokawa excels at, resulting in a garment with a deep texture and a unique presence.

ARTWORK: Flowers <br> Takashi Murakami is a contemporary artist who was the first to create original characters for art in the history of contemporary art. "Flowers" have become the most beloved and well-known characters in the world, both as Murakami's own character and as a character of art. Murakami holds a doctorate in Japanese painting from Tokyo University of the Arts, and flowers are a traditional subject in the world of Japanese art, as seen in the phrase "snow, moon, and flowers." Furthermore, the all-over composition of the screen also contains the essence of abstract expressionism.

DETAIL
These garments are made using original fabrics and feature distressed finishes such as faded colors and paint stains. Because the pattern varies depending on the fabric's cut, each piece is unique. No two are exactly alike, making each item a one-of-a-kind piece. The silhouette is designed to be shallow, creating a clean and streamlined look.
