Description: DRAWN BY A flickering light, a fragile moth discovers both beauty and peril, burning in the same glow that captivated it. This haiku-inspired design brings the timeless Japanese philosophy of impermanence (mujo) into focus. Originating from Kobayashi’s evocative haiku, the imagery reflects longing, the pull of desire, and the thin line between transformation and self-destruction. A subtle yet profound statement, this shirt melds Japanese literary tradition with modern streetwear, making it perfect for those who appreciate the interplay between simplicity and depth. // TRANSLATION: in the nightlights of my wife's village / the moth turned white / and it was burned (!)
