The graphics were made by collage artist and one of Japan&#8217;s top creatives, Kosuke Kawamura, to honor this historic collection. It is brilliantly expressed through the Hiroshima-born artist&#8217;s signature shredder collage mash-up style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The camouflage that represents BAPE\u00ae has been grouped into graphics like family crests and Japanese motifs for the &#8220;Sashiko Series,&#8221; which includes a lineup of kimono jackets and shirt jackets. In addition, a variety of traditional Japanese hues are created for the zip-up hoodie using plant and natural dyes. With graphics influenced by Japanese stores, the &#8220;Japan Graphic Series&#8221; uses the Japanese language to represent BAPE\u00ae&#8217;s iconic phrases like the foundation year and &#8220;APE SHALL NEVER KILL APE.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The collection contains pieces that are modeled after kimonos, kendo gi, and customary Japanese work garb like the apron. Prices range from \u00a511,000 (\u2248US$81) for accessories to \u00a547,300 (\u2248US$346) for apparel and are now available online at BAPE\u00ae.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Elsewhere in the realm of fashion, <a href=\"https:\/\/snkrdunk.com\/en\/magazine\/2022\/12\/19\/n-hoolywood-x-madness-offers-a-simple-yet-detailed-look-to-fashion\/?slide=right\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">N.HOOLYWOOD x MADNESS is another collaboration worth checking out<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/snkrdunk.s3.ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/19165548\/A-BATHING-APE%C2%AE-x-Kosuke-Kawamura-22JAPAN-CULTURE2228-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-71095\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/snkrdunk.s3.ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/19165553\/A-BATHING-APE%C2%AE-x-Kosuke-Kawamura-22JAPAN-CULTURE2229-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-71096\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/snkrdunk_int\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"970\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/snkrdunk.s3.ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20154621\/Magazine-Bottom-Banner-copy.webp\" alt=\"Magazine-Bottom-Banner\" class=\"wp-image-22285\" srcset=\"https:\/\/snkrdunk.s3.ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20154621\/Magazine-Bottom-Banner-copy.webp 970w, https:\/\/snkrdunk.s3.ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20154621\/Magazine-Bottom-Banner-copy-300x93.webp 300w, https:\/\/snkrdunk.s3.ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20154621\/Magazine-Bottom-Banner-copy-768x238.webp 768w, https:\/\/snkrdunk.s3.ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20154621\/Magazine-Bottom-Banner-copy-282x87.webp 282w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 970px) 100vw, 970px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A BATHING APE\u00ae, a brand established in Tokyo in 1993, will debut a line called &#8220;JAPAN CULTURE&#8221; that is influenced by traditional Japanese practices and culture.
