The Story Behind the Print

The wit of the Master. The Kaito Japan Design "Kuniyoshi Checker" Pet Hoodie pays homage to Utagawa Kuniyoshi, the legendary rebel of the Edo period. Known for his clever use of patterns and his deep love for feline companions, Kuniyoshi often disguised his social commentary within the folds of patterned garments. This black and brown Ichimatsu (checkerboard) design represents prosperity and the "uninterrupted flow" of a life well-lived. It is a visual celebration of Nagomi (Harmony) between ancient tradition and modern style. Designed for the companion who carries a noble, slightly mischievous spirit—just like the characters in a Kuniyoshi print.
