The first part of our 26AW collection is here.
Five long sleeve tees and one tote bag. It is our second season, following the first collection from 26SS.
We still start from the words and stories of space, and this time a collaboration with illustrator DATE YUICHI joins us — the Earth-kun tee and tote.
They will also be at our pop-ups: Haneda Airport Tsutaya Books from Monday, September 28, and Ropponmatsu Tsutaya Books in Fukuoka from Tuesday, September 29.
26AW ITEMS
Earth-kun "My Friend the Moon" Long Tee
Earth-kun's friend is the Moon. Always close by, and yet always a little out of reach.
They have been together since the very beginning, but what Earth-kun really wants is to go over and play. On the sleeve we added the words "fly me to the moon".
A collaboration with illustrator DATE YUICHI. The print is blue on white and silver on charcoal. Available in white and charcoal, in sizes M, L and XL.
Earth-kun "My Friend the Moon" Long Tee ｜ ¥9,900 (tax incl.)
LIFE Long Tee
"THE UNIVERSE AND LIFE ARE FUN BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW."
A maxim we wrote ourselves, this time on a long sleeve tee, with a large print across the back. The chest print is an infinity mark, standing for a universe without end.
A pigment-dyed body that grows richer with every wear. Available in vintage gray and vintage black, in sizes M, L and XL.
LIFE Long Tee ｜ ¥9,350 (tax incl.)
THANK U FOR Long Tee
"THANK U FOR FINDING US."
There is a UFO hiding inside "THANK YOU FOR". The design started from that discovery — and we turned the YOU into a U to make it a little easier to spot.
If you noticed the space hiding in everyday life, you already like space. This one carries our thanks for finding us. Available in white, in sizes M, L and XL.

BACK TO THE MOON Long Tee
"BACK TO THE MOON."
From Apollo 11 in 1969 to Apollo 17 in 1972. After that, the era of humans standing on the moon stayed closed for more than half a century. In 2028, that road opens again.
The back carries nothing but a large circle and a rocket — a geometric composition where the circle reads as both the moon and an orbit. Available in white, in sizes M, L and XL.
BACK TO THE MOON Long Tee ｜ ¥9,350 (tax incl.)
UCHU Long Tee
Written in kanji, 宇宙 (space) feels a little formal. In katakana, ウチュウ is lighter, and rather charming.
We made the Japanese characters themselves the graphic — enjoyable as a shape even if you cannot read them. The letters are printed and the star beside them is embroidered, so the two differ in texture.
Pink on the white body, silver on the blue — whichever colour suits each one best. Available in white and blue, in sizes M, L and XL.
UCHU Long Tee ｜ ¥8,800 (tax incl.)
Earth-kun "My Friend the Moon" Tote
The same Earth-kun from the long tee, on a tote bag.
It stands 42cm tall with 68cm handles, so it sits on the shoulder too. An easy size to carry every day.
Yellow on sky blue, light blue on green, green on light pink. Also a collaboration with DATE YUICHI. Available in green, sky blue and light pink.
Earth-kun "My Friend the Moon" Tote ｜ ¥4,400 (tax incl.)
