Loose-fitting wrap-shirt featuring tapered sleeves and a belt for an adjustable silhouette. With inspiration from the traditional Japanese short kimono jacket. Like the kimono, the straight cut and build of the Asane Wrap Shirt is informed by the width of traditional kasuri (ikat) looms, which are characteristically narrow, allowing the weaver to control tension for a supple texture.

Made in Cherry Blossom — an original warp kasuri pattern and colour inspired by Japan’s national flower. The making of kasuri fabrics involve more than thirty intricate processes, with specialized craftspeople responsible for each stage. 

The fabrics are woven in a 77-year-old, family-run mill in Yame, Japan, using preserved kasuri techniques and salvaged Toyota power looms — relics of the Industrial Revolution. Once a nationwide-practiced craft used for kimono-making, it has gradually declined over time, leaving only a few remaining mills in Yame, which today are acknowledged as preservers of cultural heritage in Japan.
