-story-
As the seasons change, it rains. The rain that fell for several days at the end of winter stops, and along with the smell of earth, the spring market opens, run by the newly-grown merchants known as "Kafu-sho." They have traveled extensively to reach adulthood, and they transport the new spring and summer items (flowers, seeds, seashells, etc.) they have acquired through their travels to towns that are about to welcome spring and summer, in balloon carts. That is why they are called Kafu-sho. Among them are the spring merchants, "Kochi," and the summer merchants, "Hae."
This time, we'll be talking about a lively market, which also features a brother who shares this story.

The brand name ASEEDONCLÖUD originates from the title of the first picture book the designer created as a child ("The Seed on the Cloud"). While drawing inspiration from the beauty of old work clothes seen in late 19th and early 20th-century photographs, the brand incorporates wit and humor into its designs, highlighting the underlying identity of that beauty. The materials used are primarily natural, sometimes reflecting historical periods, and sometimes recreating antique pieces. The brand's concept draws inspiration from the lifestyles of various professions each season, incorporating the essence of those lives as a spice into its designs.
