SUN SURF SS39618 S/S RAYON HAWAIIAN SHIRT "ANCIENT CAPITAL" Rayon Hawaiian Shirt Ancient Capital Japanese Pattern Hawaiian Shirt Aloha Shirt Short Sleeve Shirt

The main motif is Kyoto's Heian Jingu Shrine, with its beautiful vermilion main hall.

To this, elements such as the Togetsukyo Bridge, which frequently appears in aloha shirts designed in Japan, and the scenery of Arashiyama visible from the bridge, have been added to create this piece.

The silhouettes of cherry blossoms and trees are drawn in the plain areas, using them as negative space to create a story throughout the entire shirt.

Regarding the color scheme, it's interesting to note that the ground yellow, for instance, is not a lemon yellow, but rather a yamabuki yellow (bright golden yellow) used in traditional Japanese prints.
