Introducing Japanese pattern brands for men. From traditional flashy brands to simple brands, accessories, character designs, and collaboration brands with anime and manga, you can get a complete understanding of Japanese pattern brands here!

The classic Japanese pattern! If you are looking for a brand with many flashy designs, this is it.

"Karakuri Tamashi'' (Entangled Soul), which is extremely popular in the Japanese pattern world, offers a wide range of items such as Japanese pattern T-shirts, jeans, sukajans, hats, and accessories.

In the past, this brand was worn by Matsutchan in Downtown, and is often worn on Yakuza TV.

One of the charms of Tsuguri Tamashii is that it comes in a wide variety of designs, including the classic patterns of cherry blossoms, dragons, and carp, as well as wind and thunder gods, phoenixes, skulls, tigers, wolves, and recently, bears.

We carry not only flashy patterns but also simple patterns, so it is recommended for those who want to try a calm Japanese pattern!

Hanatabi Band (Hanatabi Gakudan)

Speaking of high-quality Japanese-patterned sukajans, Hanatabi Band is the name. The variety of delicate embroidery that expresses Japanese patterns is a must-see.

The intricate embroidery requires over 1.2 million stitches at most, and if you consider that 4 stitches are done per second, it takes over 100 hours to simply make one product.

There are also some items other than Sukajan, such as jeans and Japanese-patterned shirts, which are finished items that fully utilize the embroidery skills cultivated in Sukajan.

 

Satori

Satori is infused with the tastes of two Japanese pattern brands: 100 Flowers and Script! By arranging Japanese taste with rock, we are expressing a unique world view that has never been seen before.

Recommended for those who want a sukajan with lots of delicate embroidery.

It seems like the quality is the same as Hanatabi Band, but the pattern is different.

Kacho Fugetsu (Kacho Fugetsu)

 

Kacho Fugetsu expresses original and fresh ideas with high technology and releases innovative and excellent items.

Both flashy patterns and simple patterns have their own taste and are popular.

Motifs that first create a boom are often used, such as new Japanese patterns, and Kacho Fugetsu is what sparked the nine-tailed pattern and the wolf pattern.

Kacho Fugetsu's brother brand Oboro Sukajan series is also selling very well, so if you are looking for a cheaper Skajan, please check it out.

ZEN is a Japanese pattern brand originating from Kyoto. We create products with a focus on hand-painted items. Items made with the soul of craftsmen captivate those who see them.
