HEMP FAUX FUR ZIP-UP JACKET

This faux fur jacket is made from hemp. While "hemp" may strongly evoke images of recreational use, it is actually a fiber material that has been valued in Japanese life. Strong, flexible, and highly breathable, it has been used in clothing and daily necessities since ancient times. Furthermore, in ancient Japanese Shinto, hemp was considered a sacred fiber used to purify defilement, with a history of being used as divine clothing to cleanse people's sins and impurities.

The breast pocket features a design that cleverly plays on the "image" that everyone associates with hemp. Rather than secretly carrying it, by boldly displaying it, we've tried to humorously express that "this is not contraband, but a legitimate clothing material." Is it truly right to judge this plant, which has been deeply rooted in Japanese life for so long, based solely on preconceptions?
