Celebrate Spring the Japanese Way
In Japan, Spring is the season of cherry blossom. People travel from far and wide to experience the beauty of hana-mi, or flower viewing. Hana-mi parties are popular and usually mean a picnic under a cherry tree surrounded by petals. In the busy city of Tokyo, the cherry blossom brings a welcome reminder of the beauty of the natural world and its ability to promote calm and boost vitality. Honouring the four seasons, our Wa Paisley design embodies this vitality, giving an energetic burst of colour to your day.
Reimagining a traditional motif
Paisley is a popular pattern on men’s clothes and was once a sign of wealth and power. But Wa Paisley means paisley done the Japanese way! Our four colour design leaps off these silky black briefs. Each colour reminds us of a season and the natural cycle of the year. The bright pink echoes the cherry blossoms of hana-mi and the sense of joy it brings.
