{"product_id":"bucket-hat-torii-fuji","title":"Bucket Hat 'Torii and Fuji' - 伝統的","description":"\u003ch2\u003eA torii before Fuji, embroidered in one medallion\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003etorii\u003c\/strong\u003e (鳥居), the gate marking the entrance to a Shinto shrine, is among the most recognisable pieces of architecture Japan has produced. Its structure is minimal — two uprights carrying two crossbeams — and its function is entirely symbolic: it marks the crossing from the profane world (\u003cem\u003ezoku\u003c\/em\u003e) into the sacred ground (\u003cem\u003esei\u003c\/em\u003e) where the kami reside. The vermilion that colors most of them, \u003cem\u003eshu-iro\u003c\/em\u003e, was traditionally derived from cinnabar and is held by custom to repel malevolent spirits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJapan has more than \u003cstrong\u003e100,000 torii\u003c\/strong\u003e standing in front of some 80,000 Shinto shrines. Several have become destinations in themselves: the thousands of vermilion gates of Fushimi Inari Taisha in Kyoto, forming tunnels up the flank of Mount Inari; the great floating gate at Itsukushima in Hiroshima Bay, which appears to rise out of the water at high tide; the torii of Hakone-jinja reflected in Lake Ashi. Their forms follow a codified typology — myōjin, shinmei, ryōbu — that varies by school and period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe embroidered medallion stacks the \u003cstrong\u003eicons\u003c\/strong\u003e deliberately: a vermilion torii in the foreground, the stylized silhouette of Mount Fuji behind it, a burning red sun above, and branches of pink cherry blossom framing the whole against a bright turquoise sky. Rising sun, Fuji, sakura, torii — it is the classic postcard, and it makes no apology for being one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mid-profile bucket shape carries the palette without flattening it. Wear it with an oversized black sweatshirt, technical trousers and chunky sneakers, or with a linen shirt and cream chinos for a summer casual read. The brim earns its keep on shrine days in Kyoto, Nara and Nikkō, and anywhere the walking is long. Made for people drawn to Japanese religious architecture and to compositions that hold several ideas at once.\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":53756618637659,"sku":null,"price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grey","offer_id":53756618670427,"sku":null,"price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Khaki","offer_id":53756618703195,"sku":null,"price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White","offer_id":53756618735963,"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-torii-fuji-black.jpg?v=1786454210","url":"https:\/\/japan-clothing.com\/products\/bucket-hat-torii-fuji","provider":"JAPAN CLOTHING","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
