Each motif carries a specific meaning inherited from Shinto, from Buddhism, from folklore or simply from the turn of the seasons. Four have traveled far enough to become the country's visual markers abroad: the crane, the geta sandal, the cherry blossom and the koi carp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach means something exact. The \u003cstrong\u003eorigami crane\u003c\/strong\u003e (\u003cem\u003eorizuru\u003c\/em\u003e) stands for longevity, and for the wish carried by the \u003cem\u003esenbazuru\u003c\/em\u003e — a thousand folded cranes. \u003cstrong\u003eGeta sandals\u003c\/strong\u003e evoke a whole way of living: raised wooden soles, and the relationship to the floor that tatami interiors impose. The \u003cstrong\u003echerry blossom\u003c\/strong\u003e carries the brevity of spring and the philosophy of \u003cem\u003emono no aware\u003c\/em\u003e, the awareness that things pass. The \u003cstrong\u003ekoi carp\u003c\/strong\u003e means persistence, from the Chinese legend of the Dragon Gate, where the carp that swims up the falls becomes a dragon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe embroidery lines up \u003cstrong\u003eall four\u003c\/strong\u003e in a restrained frieze: a white origami crane with geometric folds, a pair of stylized gold-yellow geta, an open five-petal pink sakura, and a red koi in mid-turn. It works as a compressed reading of traditional Japan, arranged in the manner of classic \u003cem\u003ewagara\u003c\/em\u003e textile repeats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mid-profile bucket shape sets the light colors of the four icons against the crown. Wear it with a heavyweight white tee, loose linen trousers and espadrilles for a quiet summer read, or with a light haori and cream chinos for something more deliberate. The brim earns its place on long sightseeing days and in gardens. Made for people who like several parts of Japan at once, and for anyone who has taken up origami, ikebana, calligraphy or tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e98% cotton, 2% elastane\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMid profile, 7.5 cm (3 in) brim\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne size: 54.9-60 cm (21.6-23.6 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoft inner lining\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlat seams and clean finishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Japan Clothing","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":53756621390171,"sku":null,"price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grey","offer_id":53756621422939,"sku":null,"price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Khaki","offer_id":53756621455707,"sku":null,"price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White","offer_id":53756621488475,"sku":null,"price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/9300\/2473\/files\/bucket-hat-japanese-motifs-black.jpg?v=1786454275","url":"https:\/\/japan-clothing.com\/products\/bucket-hat-japanese-motifs","provider":"JAPAN CLOTHING","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
