A symbol of good fortune seen in the first dream of the year is "One Fuji, Two Hawks, Three Eggplants." In particular, hawks represent success and luck. Japanese immigrants who forged new paths in the foreign land of Hawaii held on to their country's auspicious symbols as a source of comfort and proudly wore them. This work dynamically portrays a hawk soaring amidst turbulent waves, expressing a sense of motion through its vibrant colors. While there are many renowned designs of hawk-patterned aloha shirts, this piece stands out, originally crafted by Musashiya Shoten Limited. The brand "Musashiya" was passed on to Fujii Junichi Shoten in 1934 from Japanese immigrant, Miyamoto Koichiro, and it was instrumental in the promotion of aloha shirts, featuring advertisements in the Honolulu Advertiser using the term 'Aloha Shirt.'

What is SUN SURF SPECIAL EDITION?

The aloha shirt, symbolizing the paradise of Hawaii, has deep roots in Japanese immigration, existing in both tropical and traditional patterns as vintage pieces. By the mid-20th century, when Hawaii established itself as a tourist destination, the demand for aloha shirts as souvenirs skyrocketed. A rich variety of designs and patterns emerged, resulting in many fine pieces. These rare, special items can sometimes be found in the process of collecting vintage aloha shirts. The SUN SURF Special Edition faithfully reproduces the charm of these lost masterpieces created by textile designers over time, from luxurious multi-color prints and striking designs to the unique details varying by manufacturer and era.
