ABOUT US

God of eight banners (Yahata-no-kami)

 

 

Hachiman JPN was founded in 2020 during lockdown with the vision of creating a place for admirers of Japanese design, culture, and folklore to express that admiration. Our pieces are sourced ethically, with the environment in mind and especially for their quality. We work with organic, recycled, and repurposed fabrics to uphold our reverence for nature and the brand's ethos.

Our goods are always crafted with a story in mind, and we'd implore anyone exploring our shop to soak in the rich history behind our design subjects.

There's a version of "Japanese-inspired" that stops at the surface. We didn't want to build that. Every symbol we use has a story behind it, and we'd rather explain that story than rely on it looking good from a distance. It's slower, and it means fewer designs make the cut. But we think meaning is worth more than aesthetic alone — and we'd rather earn a place in this space than borrow one.

Thank you for reading. Peace! :)
