The Story Behind the Print

A flight through history. The Kaito Japan Design "Meika Gafu" Geese Low Tops are a wearable tribute to the Nihonga movement of the late 19th century. Originally published in a legendary collection of bird-and-flower prints, the geese symbolize teamwork, seasonal transition, and the focused pursuit of a destination—a perfect metaphor for Ikigai. The minimalist, brush-stroke aesthetic captures the "breath" of the birds in flight, reflecting the Japanese principle of Shibui (beauty that is simple, subtle, and unobtrusive). These sneakers are designed for the art lover who values the soul of the artisan over the noise of the trend.
