Ikiji

About Ikiji

Ikiji is a factory brand from Sumida, Tokyo, an area long known as the home of Japanese knitting. Its name draws on iki, an Edo-period ideal of elegance built on restraint rather than display, and the brand also nods to the townsman culture and samurai spirit of Tokyo's old downtown. Garments are made entirely in Japan by skilled artisans using premium materials and meticulous craftsmanship, bringing that understated, unshowy sensibility into contemporary clothing. Pieces include technical wool T-shirts designed to wick moisture and resist odour through the seasons. Ikiji has also released seasonal collections and designer collaborations, and is stocked at Andreas Murkudis in Berlin.
