Waves of Life

In ancient times, people likened life to the sea, with its waves representing both joy and hardship.

There was once an era when patterns depicting people rising above those waves to reach the shining clouds above were worn on celebratory occasions—a symbolic lesson in resilience.

Today, the phrase “the rough waves of life” may seem taboo, yet the endless motion of waves also represents eternity. It is said to signify letting go of misfortune—“washing it away”—and beginning anew.

Wind calls the clouds, and clouds call the water...

This is a vision of human life as reflected in the mystery and beauty of nature.

A powerful and deeply symbolic design—unique to the elegance of kurotomesode (formal black kimono).
