A wandering flame
The story
Why Hitodama came first
We have always been drawn to yokai because every creature has its own story. Hitodama came first because of the idea behind it: a human soul appearing as a ball of fire.
We wanted to represent it in our own way, using soft colours and a hand-painted watercolour style. We had not seen many clothes that treated yokai this way, so we made the kind of design we wanted to wear ourselves.
