Osaka will be dyed in African culture! Designer Daisuke Sakamoto of Ramroof is planning a special event at Imagine and Raycor.

This SeriesAll labels by Daisuke Sakamoto, aka Shirley, who is also well-known for his work, will gather in Osaka. A pop-up event and a launch event for exclusive models will be held at "IMA:ZINE" and "LR by RAYCOAL," two of Osaka's leading stores.

At "Imagine," the latest collection of "AFLOGICAL JEWELRYS" started by Mr. Sakamoto in 2024 will be unveiled, and "AFLOGICAL JEWELRYS" x "Lamrof" (to be launched in 2025AW), which will be made with local artists in Senegal, will go on sale in advance. will be on sale in advance.

Wade" is handmade jewelry created with traditional elements from the Republic of Senegal, balanced with a sense of discomfort, and in the mood of an art piece. The special collection, made possible only by Mr. Sakamoto's in-depth knowledge of both Japanese and African cultures, will be on display at the store.

The Ami Cardigan, one of Ramroff's signature items, will also be available in a special-order model for Imagine, so don't miss out on this one, too. The "fire pattern" is a unique and unprecedented one that dares to express the shaking feeling in an abstract way.

In addition, "imagine" will simultaneously hold a pop-up of "SHITABAKAMA - loincloth-" by jewelry artist Hikaru.

Hikaru, who traveled with Sakamoto for a month in Africa, created his new handmade jewelry, "Prempre," inspired by masks he encountered in Africa. The pop-up is a place where you can fully enjoy the world of "SHITABAKAMA - loincloth-".

The two met at Imagine, the venue for this event. After returning to Japan, they met again at "Imagine" to hold a collaborative event. This is why the name of the event is "jërëjëf," which means "gratitude" in the Wolof language of West Africa.

The event will run for 7 days from March 20 (Thu) to 27 (Thu), and we hope you will come and see a glimpse of Africa as the two artists feel it. Sakamoto and Hikaru will be present on the first day.

L.R. by Raycor" will also sell a special-order model of "WAYFARER PANTS," one of the hottest items in the 2025SS collection by "Ramroff.

The special-order model made in "sand beige," which does not exist in the in-line line, expresses the image of "Ray Call" with gold and purple lame paint. The overall tone is then faded by applying a blurring process, resulting in a special vintage look and feel.

At "Raycor," special African antique objects from "AFLOGICAL JEWELRYS" and "EARTHY ANTIQUES," which will make its first appearance in Osaka, will be exhibited and sold at the same time.

The sales event will run from March 22 (Sat) to 30 (Sun). Mr. Sakamoto will be in the store on the first day of the event, so please ask him about the items, Africa, and anything else you are interested in.

I have a feeling that the end of March will bring a whirlwind of Africa to Osaka. If you are in the area, please come and visit!
