Taxes included.

A Longsleeve from the Duality Collection — featuring an adapted sketch from Katsushika Hokusai's "Manga" series and the term Sōkan (双観) on the front and the sleeve.

Sōkan means dual perspective: the ability to hold two opposing viewpoints at the same time. Power and restraint. Attack and defence. Two forces working not against each other, but with each other. The thinking behind Duality — colours, Hokusai, and the concept of opposing forces.

The indigo blue draws from samurai combat culture — worn as under-armour, a symbol of loyalty and steadfastness. The white comes from Shinto tradition: purity and spiritual clarity.

Each shirt includes a booklet exploring the concept behind Duality. For anyone who connects with the culture. No gatekeeping.

FAQ's

What does Sōkan mean?

Sōkan (双観) is a Japanese term meaning "dual perspective" or the ability to hold two viewpoints simultaneously. It represents the martial arts principle of opposing forces. Hard and soft, offense and defense exist together and create balance through their interaction.

What's included with the t-shirt?

Each Sōkan piece comes with an exclusive booklet exploring the concept of duality. The booklet provides deeper context for the Hokusai-inspired design and its connection to traditional martial arts principles like yin and yang, offering both philosophical insights and practical applications for practitioners.

How does the regular fit compare to the Kō Collection's oversize fit?

The Sōkan t-shirt features a regular fit (true to size) for everyday comfort, while the Kō Collection has an intentionally oversized 90s-inspired fit. If you prefer a roomier fit, consider sizing up.

What is SHISA?

The brand takes its name from Okinawan mythology. Okinawa, Japan -
the birthplace of Karate - is home to traditional guardian figures called shisa, protective beings that ward off evil spirits and bring good fortune.
