The back features the kanji “参,” which carries the meanings of “visit,” “pay respect” and “participate,”.
The characters for “日本” (Japan) are designed in Kakuji, a highly decorative script that emerged in the Edo period. Kakuji represents kanji on a square grid, using only horizontal and vertical lines to create a patterned, ornamental style.
This hanten, dyed with the phrase “to visit Japan”, was created as a traveler’s jacket for those exploring Japan—a piece made for your journey.
