As a nation, Japan’s alluring character is said to reflect that of an ‘island nation mentality’ - referring directly to a sense of being self-contained, isolated from potential neighbours by vast bodies of water on all four sides. Irrespective of whimsical accuracy, there’s no doubting the vitality of surrounding seas in sculpting Japanese culture as we see it today, the past, societal standards beyond art and underlying identity.
Fishing towns are rife with inspiration, contrasting the pace of everyday life with dramatic scenery - idyllic tranquillity as it resides naturally. Tapping into Japanese fishing towns for notes of forgotten wonder, this collection pays homage to water and its ever-changing form - overlaying wide-set mesh netting with notoriously premium nylon, thick suede and a palette transitioning from blue to grey.
We took the pack to Footdee - or Fittie as it is known by locals - which is a charming mid 19th century former fishing community in Aberdeen where the cottages all face inwards in squares with their backs to the ocean for protection against storms raging in from the sea.
