Furoshiki Nami ni Asahi (Rising Sun over the Waves)

In the Edo period, the shogunate’s sumptuary laws forbade commoners from wearing luxurious clothing. This gave rise to the “uramasari” sensibility, which found “iki” (refined chic) in a bold lining color or pattern that peeks out when a garment is taken off, while the outside is dressed plainly. Designer Masaki Kutani added a modern arrangement to the stylish aesthetic of the Edo townspeople and created a world of his own.
