American fashion brand AKASHI-KAMA and KINTO have partnered to create a custom TRAVEL TUMBLER. Take a look and find out about the story behind the collaboration.
Message from AKASHI-KAMA
"AKASHI-KAMA is centered around the blending of cultures, creating modern pieces with a clear Japanese aesthetic. Collaborating with KINTO made perfect sense in that regard—we felt there was a clear throughline between both brands, especially from a design perspective. The balance between usability and aesthetics is a point of emphasis for great products, whether that's on an Akashi Kama Noragi Jacket or a KINTO Ceramic.
Our design for this tumbler utilizes our Yama ("Mountain") print, which takes cues from traditional Japanese patterns, and which we've also used on both button down shirts and an upcoming Noragi. We thought that Kinto's beautiful lid style favored a minimalist design, so we emphasized clean lines with an open box and vertical kana. "
