TRADITIONAL SHEER HAPPI
This summer festival happi is crafted using a sheer polyester fabric that evokes the airy texture of traditional Japanese tsumugi—a type of silk often worn during hot summer. Designed for modern life, it is easy to care for and machine-washable, making it perfect for everyday wear.
The crest featured on the back is the Kiri-mon (paulownia crest), a non-family-specific emblem which was historically loved by many Japanese women.
Enjoy this happi as a part of your daily summer wardrobe.
Print: Kyoto – Shirushizome Kobo Sugishita
The traditional Kyoto craft of Shirushi-zome has added color to everyday life in Japan since the 14th to 16th century.
This bold and precise dyeing technique has been used to convey information at a glance―seen in items such as flags bearing family crests, shrine banners, and shop curtains (noren).
