Capturing that moment—
when emotion and logic collide—
in a single piece of embroidery.
On the left chest:
Hannya, a mask of rage and jealousy,
but also a Buddhist symbol of wisdom.
Madness or intellect?
This 5cm embroidery holds both truths.
What is "Hannya"?
The Hannya mask is a traditional
Japanese mask used in “Noh theater,”
a classical form of Japanese masked drama
that dates back over 600 years.
It represents a woman consumed
by jealousy and sorrow,
transforming into a demon.
Although the face is frightening,
the mask also expresses deep human emotion—
anger, pain, love, regret.
Therefore, since ancient times
Hannya has also been seen
as a spiritual protector,
believed to ward off evil spirits
and misfortune.
This T-shirt features an original
embroidered Hannya design,
crafted in Japan with precision and soul.
Today, however, the Hannya motif
is also embraced by younger generations
as a symbol of boldness
and staying true to oneself.
It carries a dual meaning—
both traditional and street—
making it a unique design
that bridges the past and present.
Not just a souvenir,
this is a piece you can wear
as everyday streetwear.
