{"product_id":"bucket-hat-torii-gate","title":"Bucket Hat 'Torii Gate' - 鳥居","description":"\u003ch2\u003eA single vermilion torii, embroidered as pure architecture\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe isolated \u003cstrong\u003evermilion torii\u003c\/strong\u003e is one of the most reproduced images in Japanese photography. Stripped of any landscape around it, the gate reduces to its essentials: two uprights, two crossbeams, one color. That bareness is the point. A torii has no practical function at all — it exists only to mark the threshold between ordinary ground and sacred ground, and nothing else. Few sacred structures anywhere are built to do so little, or reproduced so often.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts architecture follows rules codified over more than a thousand years. The \u003cstrong\u003enuki\u003c\/strong\u003e, the lower beam, passes horizontally through the uprights and projects on both sides. The \u003cstrong\u003ekasagi\u003c\/strong\u003e, the upper beam, sits above it, curving slightly upward in most styles. The \u003cstrong\u003eshimaki\u003c\/strong\u003e is a second beam set beneath the kasagi, optional depending on the school. At the center, the \u003cstrong\u003egakuzuka\u003c\/strong\u003e is a small rectangular panel that can carry the shrine's name in calligraphed kanji or a divine seal. The exact proportion between these parts is what separates the regional and historical styles — myōjin, shinmei, ryōbu, miwa.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe embroidery reads that \u003cstrong\u003eritual architecture\u003c\/strong\u003e plainly: a deep vermilion torii set at the center, its black shadow anchoring the composition, the small gakuzuka carrying discreet white kanji in the tradition of shrine seals. No surrounding scene, no picturesque framing. The gate alone, against the color of the crown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mid-profile bucket shape holds the design without competing with it. Wear it with an oversized hoodie, technical trousers and performance sneakers for a straightforwardly urban read, or with a contemporary haori and a heavyweight white tee for something more deliberate. The generous brim earns its place on long walks, in Japanese gardens, and on any trip where you will be outside all day. It suits people who practice meditation or zazen, anyone drawn to Shinto, and minimalists who want a piece that means something.\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":53756539240795,"sku":null,"price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grey","offer_id":53756539273563,"sku":null,"price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Khaki","offer_id":53756539306331,"sku":null,"price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White","offer_id":53756539339099,"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-gate-black.jpg?v=1786453265","url":"https:\/\/japan-clothing.com\/products\/bucket-hat-torii-gate","provider":"JAPAN CLOTHING","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
