Hi, this is Shohei.

Recently, I have been introducing so many new arrivals that we are beginning to run out of breath.

Every year around this time, the professional baseball pre-season is in full swing. Depending on the team, the first team travels in a green car (with upgraded seat) on the bullet train, while the second team travels in a standard car; the first team gets a winning pay, while the second team does not.

Now, in search of treatment and prestige, there is a fierce competition among young, unknown players and players who have been in the second tier for a place in the first team for the opening day of the season. So this is the busiest time of the year for me as well, as I am collecting data every night to track the players' condition.
In addition, the WBC is being held for the first time in five years.
When major leaguers such as Shohei Otani and Yu Darvish appear, I can't help but follow them as well.

I am out of breath due to the pre-season games and WBC, so I will stop introducing items that require a lot of effort and introduce items that are waiting to come in.

Most styles from the SS23 collection are in stock now, so we'll go to all the items waiting for arrival!

Those are all we are waiting for the arrival.

We actually have styles in stock, just not the items of main visuals from the lookbook. (The standard indigo-dyed and mud-dyed items will also be in stock.)

We are expecting them by the end of April. I hope they will be here earlier. Thank you for your patience for waiting for the arrival.

The factories and craftsmen are doing their best, but various factors such as COVID have put pressure on the manufacturing.

KUON Flagship Store

Every week we get a few new arrivals, and before you know it, the sales floor is full. There are even items that are not yet in the store because we are thinking to release them when the weather gets a little warmer.

I think I'll bring out the items that aren't on the shelves after the WBC is over, and completely refresh the store for the summer season.

This season, there are not so many strong and easy-to-understand items such as Boro and Sakiori fabrics. However, I feel that this is the most popular collection so far in the store, with many customers saying, "This season is the most fun to look at clothes so far," or wondering which items to try on.

I think "looking," "imagining," and "wondering" are the most enjoyable parts of fashion, and the most enjoyable time of the day.

Well,

We also borrowed for a short while the treasure box of the designer's daughter containing the seashells that were the basis for this season's seashell printing.

Thank you!
