This design was created by Satoshi Kaga, drawing on a fascination with fish and their place within the natural ecosystem. Their forms and movement shape a composition that feels both lively and considered.
Developed over several months, the artwork went through numerous refinements. The process began with a paper label, before taking cues from a vintage bandanna and later a woven rug, each influence subtly informing the final piece.
There is a quiet nod to 19th-century bandanna design in the overall arrangement, while the fish are rendered with a more contemporary hand. Small bubble-like details introduce a sense of depth and movement.
The result is a characterful piece that sits comfortably between past and present, revealing more the longer it is worn.
Notes
The One / Two Ears Brand is the brainchild of Jonathan Lukacek who has been obsessing over bandannas for over a decade and husband and wife power duo Ryo and Hiro who make up the denim cult brand Ooe Yofukuten.
The partnership between three individuals is fascinating as they dig into the archives of bandanna designs from the 1890s to early 1900s and truly obsess over each detail and creative decision from the type of cotton, to how the bandannas are woven (two selvedge edges which are a play on the name of the brand). Finally the hand printing of each bandanna makes these the best bandanna's that you can find anywhere and we don't say that lightly.
