Hōzuki
HŌZUKI is one of my favorite plants I grew up with. My grandmother and I used to pick HŌZUKI plants together and admire their beauty. HŌZUKI HAT creates a beautiful texture with brioche pearl stitch on the body and brioche cable on a motif of the HŌZUKI pouch. Both brioche pearl stitch on the body and brioche garter stitch inside of the motif resemble the web-like appearance and papery texture of the HŌZUKI pouch when it dries up.
