Bucket Hat 'Rising Sun' - 昇る太陽
type: Product
description: The rising sun over Fuji, embroidered with the lettering The name "land of the rising sun" comes from a seventh-century diplomatic letter. In 607 the prince regent Shōtoku wrote to Emperor Yang of China describing himself as the ruler of the land where the sun rises, addressing the ruler of the land where the sun sets. The exchange is recorded in the Chinese Sui Shu chronicles, and it reflects simple geography: Japan lies east of the Asian mainland, which is where the sun came up as far as the continent was concerned. The country's own name carries it still. Nihon (日本), or Nippon, is built from two characters meaning origin (本) and sun (日) — the origin of the sun. The national flag, the hinomaru (日の丸, "sun circle"), states the same thing in its most reduced form: a deep red disc on white, the sun coming up over the horizon. Formalised in 1870, it descends from much older solar imagery in Japanese textile and classical art. The embroidery works that imagery in three parts: a stylized red sun drawn in parallel horizontal bands, in the graphic register of 1980s Japanese poster design, above the deep blue silhouette of Mount Fuji, anchored by JAPAN in navy capitals with the line "THE LAND OF THE RISING SUN" set discreetly beneath. A few strokes carrying the whole visual identity of the country. The mid-profile bucket shape sharpens the three colors — red disc, blue mountain, pale blue lettering. Wear it with a heavyweight white tee, straight jeans and low-profile sneakers for a minimal read, or with an oversized navy sweatshirt and cream chinos for something calmer. The brim earns its place on long sightseeing days. Made for people planning a first trip, for anyone following Japanese heritage labels, and for people who want the reference stated plainly. 98% cotton, 2% elastane Mid profile, 7.5 cm (3 in) brim One size: 54.9-60 cm (21.6-23.6 in) Soft inner lining Flat seams and clean finishing
