From the brand HOMME PLISSÉ ISSEY MIYAKE, the series HARU that focused on the Ukiyoe shohorn picture appeared in November 2016.
The spring paintings loved by the commoners of the Edo era are also handed down to the big names such as Katsushika Hokusai, Kita River Utamaro, Suzuki Harunobu, lovers of all over the world. Spring painting, which was one of the genres of ukiyo-e, has been highly reputed for its high artistic value in recent years and has received great repercussions around the world. In the series HARU to be announced this time, I put down the energy of the spring painting full of humor and eros in the Edo period and a stylish and fashionable lifestyle in menswear. Because it is worn by men, materials that are light and wrinkle-free and excellent in quick-drying properties are adopted. Like a jacket-like shirt, relaxed tops are just like kimonos. The shrine painted on the textile supple according to the movement of the dancer supple. HARU is as impactful as Spring Painting which has become popular without regard to the east and west of Ocean. It is likely to be a milestone series that rebuilds the patterns and styles used for clothes in Japan and revives to the present age.
