Japanese people have probably seen Hokusai Katsushika's ukiyoe "Fugaku Sanjurokkei" (Thirty-six views of Mt. Fuji) at least once. The most famous of these, "Kanagawa Okinamiura," is known overseas as "The Great Wave" and is now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
The collaboration between Dr. Martens and the Metropolitan Museum of Art features "Fugaku Sanjurokkei" (Thirty-six Views of Mt. Fuji). Japan's world-renowned works of art will adorn iconic items from "Dr. Martens".
1460 THE MET (Kanagawa-okiinomi-ura) ¥27,500
The "1460 8-hole boot," which is synonymous with "Dr. Martens," has a bold print of "Kanagawa Okinamiura. The Japanese aesthetic sense has been incorporated into the British-derived boot, creating a pair that can be described as a blend of Japanese and Western influences. The design has a strong impact, so it would be good to add it as a point of interest on your feet in the coming season, when the tone of coordination tends to be darker.
1461 THE MET (Tokaido Shinagawa Gotenyama No. Fujii) ¥24,200
The "1461 3-hole Shoes" feature "Tokaido Shinagawa Gotenyama No Fujino". It depicts people enjoying a party at Shinagawa Gotenyama, a famous cherry blossom viewing spot, while admiring the cherry blossoms and Mt.
Like the "1461 3-Hole Shoes," they are finished with striking antique gold eyelets and signature yellow welt stitching for a color accent.
BACKPACK THE MET (Kanagawa Okinamiura) ¥35,200
In addition, not only footwear, but also a backpack with "Kanagawa Okinamiura" printed on it is also available. The entire surface is covered with Hokusai's ukiyoe prints, a special design that can only be found in this collection. For those who want to have something different from others, this is the perfect item for you.
The collaborative collection, which allows you to feel and wear art in your daily life, will be available at "Dr. Martens" stores nationwide and on the official online site from November 26 (Sat.).
