Holding memories, while leaving a memory.
The journey of life—
as we gather encounters,
as we gather scenery,
as we gather time—
cultivates a beauty that is yours alone.
Ryunosuke TOKYO
has tailored this garment
to evoke the memories of that life,
and to accompany the memories yet to be made.
This is a silk shirt that reinterprets "Edo Komon," a Japanese dyeing tradition passed down for over 100 years, through a contemporary sensibility.
From a distance, the quietude of a solid color.
Up close, a delicate pattern that reveals itself only upon approach.
It does not speak with a loud voice,
but leaves a quiet, lasting impression through the presence of the one who wears it.
Wearing Tradition, Layering a Life
Ise Katagami paper stencils, preserved in Ise, Mie, and the Edo Komon that embodies the chic of the Edo period.
We have taken silk, dyed carefully by artisans sheet by sheet, and fashioned it into a three-dimensional form using Japanese tailoring techniques.
At the root of this pattern lies the clover, a symbol of good fortune.
Yet, what Ryunosuke TOKYO sought to express is not a fleeting moment of luck.
The people you meet in life.
The times you spent taking on challenges.
The experiences you have accumulated.
Everything becomes the "fortunate memories" that enrich a life.
We expressed this sentiment in the brand's signature emerald color.
Every time you wear it,
it evokes the memories of your life,
quietly accompanying the new memories that are yet to come.
It is a garment designed to be a partner in the journey that is your life.
