This is a hand-dyed long-sleeve shirt crafted from original textiles that carry on the dyeing techniques of Kyoto artisans, enhanced with new sensibilities and creativity.

Each shirt is one-of-a-kind due to the hand-dyeing process, ensuring that no two patterns are identical.

  • Artist's Story

    An apparel designer, Akashi is seeking to launch the OCACI clothing brand for contemporary lifestyles using traditionally made Japanese textiles that capture the warmth and heart of time-honored craftsmanship. Where domestic clothing production is currently at an all-time low of 2%, his work will ensure the survival of centuries-old textile processes in local communities throughout Japan and encourage rural revitalization.

  • About the Craft

    Akashi creates contemporary clothing with traditionally made Japanese textiles that capture the warmth and heart of time-honored craftsmanship and focus mainly on, but are not limited to, cotton.
