It runs across 23 special wards and a spread of surrounding municipalities, forming near-continuous city for more than 100 kilometers. Its districts each carry their own reputation: Shibuya for nightlife, Harajuku for street fashion, Ginza for luxury, Akihabara for electronics and otaku culture, Shinjuku for towers and late hours, Asakusa for the older city.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe name means \u003cstrong\u003e\"eastern capital\"\u003c\/strong\u003e — 東 (\u003cem\u003etō\u003c\/em\u003e, east) and 京 (\u003cem\u003ekyō\u003c\/em\u003e, capital) — set deliberately against Kyoto (京都), which had held the imperial court for more than a thousand years before it moved east in 1868. Renaming the city as the Meiji emperor arrived marked the whole political shift in a single word. Until then it had been Edo (江戸), seat of the Tokugawa shogunate from 1603.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe embroidery is \u003cstrong\u003eas bare as it gets\u003c\/strong\u003e: TOKYO in heavy black sans-serif capitals, immediately followed by the two kanji 東京 in the same weight. No scene, no ornament, no framing. Everything rests on the graphic force of the bilingual lettering — which is exactly the position Tokyo's own streetwear studios have taken since the 1990s, favoring pure type over illustration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pale colorways make the black type carry hard. Wear it with an oversized hoodie, technical trousers and performance sneakers, or with a heavyweight white tee, straight jeans and minimal sneakers. The brim earns its place on long days walking a city. Made for people heading to Tokyo, for anyone following Japanese street fashion, and for people who would rather wear a word than a picture.\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":"White","offer_id":53756640821595,"sku":null,"price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Khaki","offer_id":53756640854363,"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-tokyo-type-white.jpg?v=1786455203","url":"https:\/\/japan-clothing.com\/products\/bucket-hat-tokyo-type","provider":"JAPAN CLOTHING","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
