BASARA

"Basara" is the opposite of "wabi sabi”  or "Miyabi", which are the aesthetic senses that Japan has been presenting to the world.

"Basara" is a term that refers to the fashion and lifestyle of Japanese fighting men, in other words, the starting point of the way of life of men who create a new era by opening their own way.

The samurai who lived during the Warring States period, was "fashionable" and had a high sense of individuality and beauty....

The very "battle dress" of the warlords of the Warring States period, who were prepared to die in battle. These were "custom-made" armor helmets with family crests, horse ornaments, and armor....

The high-end fashion of men in those days was truly gorgeous. This theme, "The BASARA", introduces the aesthetic sense of "Basara", and also presents a collection of luxurious products re-edited in collaboration with Japanese craftsmen and artisans.
