From LoveCrafts “The inspiration for Sachiko Burgin’s fabulous toque comes from the word, komorebi, that can only be translated in a sentence in English - “it refers to the sunlight that filters through the leaves of trees, creating a sort of dance between the light and the leaves.” Sachiko explains, “for this hat design, I chose an obscure color combination to evoke the sense of light glare but also tranquility with the soft blue shades.” The Vincent Yellow pompom is optional - you can create a pom in any shade you choose.“
