We produced a jacket for official use for Mr. Mamoru Itagaki, the team owner of
"Hiroshima TEAM iXA", an e-sports team that represents the Chugoku and Shikoku regions,
operated by Yarukiman Tokkies Inc.
Based on black, it features a double-breasted design combined with a kimono-specific woven pattern and a bold pine motif,
with the team name "Sen" (Battle) embroidered as an accent.
Although it looks like a simple black at first glance, the sleeves feature a Kanze-mizu (flowing water) pattern.
The kimono fabric has a unique depth, and unlike prints or plain suits,
it creates a "quiet presence."
Boldly placed from the front to the back is "pine," a traditional Japanese pattern.
Since ancient times, pines have been used as an auspicious pattern symbolizing
"longevity," "immutability," "prosperity," and "victory."
Since they remain green throughout the year, they also symbolize "unwavering strength."
The design is highly compatible with the team image of "
Hiroshima TEAM iXA,"
and expresses the strength and pride of an e-sports team through kimono patterns.
Furthermore, the pine pattern woven with gold thread stands out against the black fabric,
enhancing its presence as an outfit.
E-sports is a rapidly expanding culture worldwide.
Within this, "
Hiroshima TEAM iXA" is conveying a unique presence while retaining Japanese characteristics.
That is why this time, rather than just creating an outfit,
we focused on "embodying the team's worldview."
Combining kimono, a traditional Japanese material, with the digital realm of gaming.
This contrast was very interesting, and this production was a great inspiration for us.
To Mr. Mamoru Itagaki, team owner of "Hiroshima TEAM iXA",
thank you very much for your order!
