Crafted by the Japanese‑American textile trading house Triple Times California, which has handled fabric imports and exports since the 1950s, this print tells a remarkable story. Originally developed for the U.S. market, the artwork was commissioned by the company’s New York design office and printed in Kyoto. Archival notes credit the piece to the office’s female chief designer, whose audacious vision produced a motif so striking it is impossible to forget.

After journeying from Kyoto to the continental United States in the 1970s, the fabric was primarily turned into scarves; only a handful of Aloha shirts were ever made. Executed with an early “mirror print” technique—a forerunner of modern transfer printing—it captures an array of vibrant hues with exceptional clarity. The subject matter draws on the warrior masks of Polynesian tribes, pairing dramatic intensity with a refined, harmonious palette.

SUN SURF SPECIAL EDITION
Aloha shirt - the garment that symbolizes the paradise called Hawaii. However, its origin has much to do with the Japanese immigrants to the islands, and thus the shirt designs range from tropical patterns to that of oriental. In the mid-20th century, when Hawaii became a popular tourism cite, Aloha shirts were in great demand as a souvenir. With this background did the designs become even more diverse, some of which still appear to this day as incredibly rare vintage. “Sun Surf Special Edition” has a high regard for these textile designers of the time, and it is dedicated to creating complete replicas of such exquisite vintage, by precisely mirroring such features as the multicolor and impressive patterns or the various use of fine details, many of which have tended to be lost over time.
