DESCRIPTION
[Introduction]
Penned by Minamoto no Yoshitsune, in a poem to Musashibo Benkei:
「後の世もまた後の世もめぐりあへ
染む紫の雲の上まで」
"Be it the next life, or the life after the next, let us cross paths once more
Beyond the top of the purple-dyed clouds we shall go"
One verse of the farewell poem, as inspiration for this series.
An otherworldly print of the night sky, surrounded by stars, the moon, and clouds, illustrates the landscape of the afterlife.
Calligraphed down the front of the chest is the verse itself, "後の世も～".
From the melancholy of parting ways in this lifetime, to the deep bonds that span three lifetimes — the past life, the present life, and the future life — the heart-rending tales of Yoshitsune and Benkei, well beloved through the ages, informs every inch of this design.
The jacquard fabric features a traditional Japanese pattern of plums, bamboo leaves, waves, etc. ever shifting in appearance with every viewing angle.
The sleeves have a 2-way design, with buttons that can be unbuttoned to transform them into mantle sleeves.
Its graceful flowing silhouette is truly a design to enjoy.
