 Hima

Hima, which is written as “閑” in Chinese characters, is a "moment in the flow." It is a serene moment that strengthens and holds the whole movement, like “rest” in a musical score. This concept is also often seen in Japanese culture, such as “kare-san-sui,” which is another idea that shows “yohaku-no-bi” and translates to “the beauty of blank space.” In this collection, an appreciation for “hima” is represented through color, fabric texture, and silhouette.
