About the Design
Japan's holiest route. On a t-shirt.
The Kumano Kodo has been walked by emperors, pilgrims, monks, and hikers for over a thousand years. It runs through ancient cedar forests and connects Shirahama to the grand shrines of Kumano — places that still feel like they belong to a different era. The design puts that weight into bold block type. Some things don't need illustration. The name is enough.
