The Story Behind the Print

A masterpiece in motion. The Kaito Japan Design "Great Wave" High Tops feature the world-renowned woodblock print by Katsushika Hokusai. Part of his Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji series, this image captures the exact moment of a wave's cresting power—a visual meditation on the relationship between the ephemeral (the foam) and the eternal (Mount Fuji in the distance). It is the embodiment of Nagomi (Harmony) found within the storm. These sneakers are designed for the individual who respects the deep traditions of the Edo period and seeks Kaizen through the strength and movement of the sea.
