Graphic design inspired by the Wind God and Thunder God hanging scrolls by the great painter and woodblock artist Kawanabe Kyōsai (1831–1889).
In Japanese mythology, the Wind God wields a cloth bag that unleashes torrential wind and rain. Since ancient times, the Wind God has been revered for its ability to calm typhoons and storms that wreak havoc on crops.
This sweatshirt the color of traditional Japanese plant-dyes pays tribute to the mighty Wind God on the back, with leaves dancing in the wind on the front.
