Kaya means “summer night” in Japanese.
I imagined enjoying fireworks on a summer evening by a lake or creek.
This reminded me of a Japanese classic “The Pillow Book”.

In a chapter, they say:
“In summer, night is good.
It’s wonderful when the moon appears,
but the darkness without moonlight is good,
many fireflies are flying wildly…”

I designed a tee reflecting this image in my mind.

I hope you enjoy knitting it.
Happy knitting!

Kayaは, 夏夜.
夏の夜, 湖畔で見る花火を思い浮かべたところから,
このTeeのデザインがはじまりました.

その後, 枕草子の “夏は, 夜. 月の頃はさらなり.
闇もなほ. 蛍の多く飛び違ひたる.”
という夏についての一節からもインスパイアされ,
その場面をイメージしたTeeをつくりました.

お楽しみいただけたらうれしいです.
Happy knitting!
