Geisha Pop Jika Tabi

The series here hopes to showcase the loudness of the geisha's appeal to the commoner. With her intricately embroidered kimono and a rich combination of ornaments and colors dazzling in her presence、 it is no wonder how people are attracted to her unparalleled grace and serenity. The tabis belonging here captures the image and colors of the geisha's aura as the flowery hawaiian motifs are carefully chosen to match the exciting color palette that we have on offer. 

In addition, we would like to intoduce a new concept called Yamato Nadeshiko and referring or quoting from Wikipedia:

Yamato Nadeshiko (大和撫子) is a Japanese word meaning "personification of an idealized Japanese woman", "ideal" in the historical context of the patriarchal, traditional culture of Japan. This floral metaphor, combining Yamato, an ancient name for Japan and nadeshiko "Dianthus superbus, Large Pink", literally translated as "Japanese Dianthus".

Kenkyūsha's New Japanese-English Dictionary (5th ed., 2003) translates Yamato-nadeshiko: "a Japanese woman (with all the traditional graces); an ideal Japanese woman." Daijirin (3rd ed., 2006) defines it: "1 ナデシコの別名。2 日本女性の清楚な美しさをほめていう語。", "1. another name for Dianthus superbus. 2. A figure of speech for the beauty of Japanese women who are neat and tidy."

Also known as an ideal Japanese woman, it revolves around acting for the benefit of the family and following instructions or acting in the best interest of patriarchal authority figures. Virtues include: loyalty, domestic ability, wisdom, and humility.

During World War II, the idea of Yamato Nadeshiko was influenced by war-time propaganda. A Yamato Nadeshiko should be able to endure all the pain and poverty of life for her husband (a soldier) and the country, and should always be ready to fight with naginata or tae yari and to be ready to die at any time, for her country or to keep her chastity. However, as opposed to being a particularly feminine characteristic, gyokusai, or to give up life for the war, was a duty expected from all who wished themselves to be considered a Japanese citizen.

 With this concept inspiring us to seek the meaning of the ever evolving image of the graceful Japanese woman personified in this phrase, we are dedicating this series to the contemporary Yamato Nadeshiko residing in ourselves whether we are Japanese or not. Everybody has that finesse that has to be discovered and pampered. 

Bewilder and behold!
