Red, Gold, Green-Heart Sutra Pant

The Heart Sutra has been copied, carved, and carried across centuries — a distillation of Buddhist wisdom that crossed from India through China and into the hands of Japanese Buddhist and scholars.  In Nippon culture, red (aka), gold (kin), and green (midori) are the colors of imperial wares, Buddhist temple art, and Edo period woodblock prints — a palette that has encoded beauty, power, and cosmology for over a thousand years.

This pant carries that ancient script, striped in the colors that both Japanese tradition and other black cultures around the world have utilized. Worn powerfully by Ethiopians and Rastafari and placed on the flags of many African nations.

Researched and sourced from historical texts — a print that honors the tradition it comes from.
