Japanese Print Hoodie - げいしゃ

The print hoodie where a geisha rides the great wave

Two of Japan's most iconic images — the geisha and the great wave — rarely share a frame. This Japanese print hoodie brings them together: an elegant geisha set against a cresting wave and a glowing sun in a rich, layered composition, printed large across the back of a warm hooded sweatshirt. Beauty and nature's power in one scene.

The back print weaves the geisha, the blue wave and a warm sun into a balanced, detailed illustration. There's grace and movement together — the wave's energy framing the geisha's stillness — and the broad hoodie back gives the layered scene room to breathe. On brushed fleece the blues and warm sun sit deep.

It comes in white and black. Black gives the blues and warm sun depth, glowing against the dark; white turns it crisp and graphic, reading like a printed illustration. Either pairs easily with plain bottoms and denim.

Beneath the print it's a genuine cold-weather layer: a brushed-back cotton-blend fleece, soft and warm, with a lined drawstring hood, a kangaroo pocket and ribbed cuffs and hem. A classic composition on a properly cosy hoodie.

This is for the person who wants a classic, beautiful composition — geisha and wave together — over a single motif or loud slogan, on a hoodie for the cold months. Layer it over a tee with joggers and trainers. True to size, with room to size up for a relaxed, hood-up fit.
