Live Sashimi x Aqin
Raise awareness of animal protection
In certain Japanese villages, sashimi is a tradition where fishermen separate seafood flesh from bones, serving it in local eateries while the remnants are kept alive underwater. This practice seems cruel, prompting the question: should we preserve or abandon this custom? It echoes the film "The Cove," which documents Japan's dolphin slaughter, suggesting a cycle of vengeance between sea life and humans. It's crucial to reflect on our actions. The SS24 collection, with its patterns, prints, and ruching, aims to depict the suffering of these creatures, urging a reevaluation of our traditions.
