A fusion of 1,300-year-old Japanese soul and modern urban silence.

“君待つと我が恋ひ居れば我がやどの簾動かし秋の風吹く”
(While I wait, loving you so, the bamboo blind of my lodging moves. But it is just the autumn wind that blows.)
— Princess Nukata (額田王) / MAN'YOSHU Vol. 8-1606

■ The Story
This piece captures a moment of quiet, intense emotion written 1,300 years ago by Princess Nukata, one of Japan's most legendary poets. It is a poem born from a simple, delicate wish: "I hope the one I love is coming." The small movement of the bamboo blind raises a hope in her heart, only for it to be dashed by the realize that it is just the autumn wind.

■ The Design & "KASANE"
We layered (KASANE) this ancient romantic verse with a modern urban aesthetic. A solitary stray cat—representing the resilient "LIFE" in the city's blind spots—sits in a nameless urban dwelling, gazing out. Like Princess Nukata, this feline is a silent witness to the city's quiet moments, waiting for something, much like the poet waited centuries ago. It is a wearable piece of art that blends Japanese classical literature with a nostalgic, contemporary illustration style, rendered in a striking monochrome palette that echoes the spirit of traditional Japanese ink wash painting.
