Material: Rayon Habutae (Filament Rayon)

This piece commemorates the anniversary of the 100th Infantry Battalion, known for its significant impact on establishing the status of Japanese Americans during WWII. Made in 1952 to celebrate the unit's 10th anniversary, it humorously depicts their life in the battlefield along with the “Red Bull” symbol of the 34th Infantry Division and the nickname “One Puka Puka” (Hawaiian for a hole or zero). The original design is by Robert Takashige from the brand “Holo Holo,” a pure local brand founded in 1946, with designs created by Mrs. Takashige and primarily sold at military bases and local wholesalers.

For this reissue, the design is overseen by the “100th Infantry Battalion Clubhouse” to honor their achievements in a contemporary context. The item features a dual-label design with an official label from the 100th Battalion.
 
SUN SURF SPECIAL EDITION

This Aloha shirt symbolizes the paradise of Hawaii, deeply intertwined with the history of Japanese immigrants. Not only are there tropical prints, but vintage Japanese patterns also exist. By the mid-20th century, as Hawaii established itself as a tourist destination, the demand for Aloha shirts as souvenirs surged, leading to diverse designs and many creations. This special piece is a rare find from the process of collecting vintage Aloha shirts. It pays tribute to the textile designers who created these masterpieces that are fading away with time. Each detail, from the luxurious multi-color prints to the impressive designs, is meticulously reproduced, capturing the essence of the original.
