This is inlay-knitted shirt is made from aged cotton on a loopwheel machine. Cotton is usually transported in compressed bails, but by slowly maturing it in a temperature and humidity controlled
room for 30 to 50 days, we were able to restore the compressed cotton to its original plump and fluffy glory. It is with this aged cotton that we spin up our threads and have them knitted on a vintage machine in Wakayama.
Under normal conditions, these old loopwheel machines can only produce about 1 meter of fabric
per hour. In our case however, because we are using high-gauge thread for difficult inlay knitting, only about 48cm of fabric per hour is possible. It may sound inefficient and time consuming, but the result is a small quantity of soft material that is almost moist to the touch and, while being quite thick, stretches less than standard hanging knitted fabric. We’ve also taken the silhouette into consideration, and even though this is knitted on a loopwheel machine, it features split sides.

In 1867, the long-lasting Edo period came to an end, and a new era began under totally new laws and policies. The era revolving around the samurai had come to an end, and the new period saw the samurai undergo massive changes. Starting with being forbidden to walk around with a sword and then and having their authority, rights and ranks taken away, the samurai gradually disappeared. This piece depicts the samurai living in the vortex of that changing and chaotic time.
