October of the lunar calendar is commonly referred to as Kanzatsuki, but in the Izumo region of Shimane Prefecture, the word Kanzatsuki has been used since ancient times. This is because the eight million gods from all over Japan gather at Izumo-taisha Shrine during this time of the year.
Graphpaper" and "Chum!", a select store in Matsue, Shimane Prefecture, have collaborated to produce items based on the theme of "Kanzai Tsuki". To celebrate the launch, a pop-up store will be held for three days from November 3 to 5 at a warehouse about 15 minutes by car from Chum!
Coveralls ¥59,400
Combat wool, an ultra-durable material blended with abrasion-resistant Cordura nylon, is used.
Oversize shirt ¥30,800
The ombre check shirt is made of typewriter with a cotton-like feel achieved by using a compact yarn made of wool with extremely little fuzz. The oversized, generous width is typical of " Graphpaper.
Wide pants ¥35,200
While it has the luster of wool and the drape of high quality, it also has a relaxed fit with an elastic waistband.
Three models were created exclusively for this occasion: coveralls, oversized shirts, and wide pants. The items themselves are casual, but the use of materials and colors gives them a classy appearance.
The event will also feature hot soups and natural wines by "Käfe" and craft beers on tap by "3rdBarrelBrewery". The evening event will also move to "Käfer" at 7:00 p.m., where guests will be able to enjoy wine, beer, and the day's exclusive food menu in a standing drinking style.
Takayuki Minami, director of Graphpaper, will be at the store on the first day, so if you are in the area, please stop by and visit.
