Kimono Maker: Fujiri-Kogei/ 藤理工芸

    “The Marshall Islands, which consist of many atolls in the Pacific Ocean, are called "Pearl Necklaces of the Pacific Ocean" because of the array of islands. I boldly designed the situation on the collar and drew a beautiful national emblem as a big icon. The design of the national flag is skillfully adopted, and the silhouette of the sunrise sky and palm is also impressive.”[1]

Obi Maker: Nishiki-Kogei, Supervised by Hakusen/ 錦工芸 監修 帛撰

    “It is fantastically woven using a unique foil with the national flag as a motif.” [1]
