COTE MER Ukiyo-e Print Tee with Wagara Kimono Patterns, Kabuki, Geisha and Wave Imagery, Size L

A large ukiyo-e print and traditional kimono patterns cover this COTE MER tee, drawing on the woodblock imagery of samurai, kabuki, geisha and the wave. Every placement of pattern is different, so this L example is unrepeatable.

The Piece

COTE MER makes the most of materials that evoke Japan's history and tradition, transforming them into a contemporary garment. This piece is printed with a kimono pattern and a large ukiyo-e image representing Japanese history; its imagery draws on samurai, kabuki, geisha, Sharaku, Hokusai and wave motifs.

Ukiyo-e, the woodblock prints of the Edo period, captured actors, beauties and landscapes for a popular audience, and artists such as Sharaku and Hokusai remain its most recognized names. Here those images become a wearable graphic.

All pattern placements are one of a kind. With motifs that symbolize Japan, the shirt can be worn on the street or in mode styling, and like every COTE MER original it is handmade in the house's own workshop.
