What is an Obi?
The obi is a wide, traditional Japanese belt worn with kimonos during ceremonies or special events. A true symbol of refinement, it is an essential element of traditional Japanese clothing. By repurposing obi scraps to create our caps, we offer you the opportunity to wear a piece of Japanese history, while giving new life to meaningful materials.
The Tsuru pattern
The Tsuru pattern, inspired by the Japanese crane, is a profound symbol in Japanese culture. Often associated with longevity, peace, and luck, the crane is a majestic creature frequently found in Japanese art. Legend has it that folding a thousand origami cranes is believed to grant a wish, representing hope and resilience. The Tsuru also embodies fidelity, as these birds are known to form lifelong mates. On our cap, the Tsuru pattern brings delicate elegance and strong symbolism, celebrating the grace and wisdom of this legendary bird.
