Sun Surf × Yoshitoshi Tsukioka Special Edition Hawaiian Shirt 'New Story'
Sun Surf
Sun Surf is produced in Japan to original designs maintaining the authenticity and quality of Hawaiian shirts from the golden era of the style.
Each year, Sun Surf releases Limited Edition Hawaiian shirts that pay homage to Japan’s rich history, showcasing deep appreciation for the country’s renowned artists. For 2025, this series from Sun Surf celebrates the painters & of the Edo period, a time when Japanese art and culture flourished. Masterworks are faithfully reproduced on the canvas of the Aloha or Hawaiian shirt, showcasing a deep appreciation of the country's renowned artists.
The Title of this Shirt is a novel, originally written by Ryutei Tanehiko and illustrated by Utagawa Kunisada (Toyokuni III). Ninshi Murasaki Inaka Genji is a full-length Edo-period novel inspired by Murasaki Shikibu’s The Tale of Genji. Published in 38 parts (totalling 152 volumes) from 1829, it played a key role in the development of Edo literature.
In the Meiji era, artist Tsukioka Yoshitoshi reimagined a dramatic scene from one of the chapters in a dynamic triptych: Ashikaga Mitsuuji and his lover Tasogare take refuge in an old temple during a rainstorm, only to be attacked by Tasogare’s mother, Shinonome, who has transformed into a demon wearing a mask.
For this limited edition model, Sun Surf use a Fujiet Rayon, favoured for its soft drape & breathability. The art work used is then overprinted using an ink pigment, while all the other details of their classic Hawaiian shirts feature. An open collar, black pearl buttons (for this edition) & a single chest pocket are all present. A Yoshitoshi woven label completes the look. Each limited edition model comes with a presentation box.
