A mixture of Japanese and Hawaiian culture, is the figure to describe the new work of the emerging brand Nipoaloha.
The Japanese company based in Tokyo, divides its collections into two distinct sections: “Kimono” and “Artist” and the artist who inspired the latest items presented by Nipoaloha is the painter Itō Jakuchū.

Very attached to the Zen ideals of Buddhism but at the same time aware of his role within the Kyoto society that, towards the end of 1700, was becoming a commercial reality in all respects, the themes of Jakuchū’s works are mainly related to birds (birds, chickens, and roosters), although many of his most famous paintings depict parrots and phoenixes.

Nipoaloha presents two kimono, two trousers, an aloha shirt and a long-sleeved shirt with jacket cut, inspired by one of her most ambitious works, “Pictures of the Colorful Realm of Living Beings”, work started around 1757 and finished in 1765 and which represents a series of subjects from the animal world with larger than normal dimensions.
The items are made of lightweight cotton and embellished with brightly colored prints of peacocks and roosters.

The items in this collection are available on the MatchesFashion website.
