Since it is the 145th anniversary of the Kutani Choemon Kiln and the 25th anniversary of LOOPWHEELER, the LW313 Jufukuro Sweatshirt, which was born from a discussion about what we could do together, will finally go on sale from Saturday, September 7, 2012.

As LOOPWHEELER fans may know, we have had a LOOPWHEELER version of the Chinese zodiac made every year as a prize for the New Year's first sale lucky draw.

I love the pictures that Kutani-kun draws, and he went out of his way to draw this Jufuku-ro for this project.

I think it expresses momentum and a sense of power rather than cuteness. We, too, would like to devote ourselves to continuing this project for 145 years.

It will be available in gray melange and black, in three sizes from S~L, and will be priced at 26,400 yen (tax included). Only the sweatshirts will be sold separately in the online store of Kutani Choemon Kiln.

The three LOOPWHEELER stores will sell the sweatshirt and Jufukuro as a set, so if you would like to purchase the sweatshirt only, please visit the online store of Kutani Choemon Kiln.

The three LOOPWHEELER stores will also begin selling the sweatshirt and Jufuku Ro set on Saturday, September 7. The sweatshirt will be the same LW313 relaxed fit, available in gray melange and black, in three sizes from S~L, and priced at 57,200 yen (tax included).

Each piece is hand-painted by Keigo Kutani, so they all have different expressions. We are sorry, but we are not able to check the contents, so please do not take any chances. But I think they all look great. Each piece is hand-painted by Keigo Kamide, so they all have different expressions. We think they are all beautiful.

Jufukuro is not mass-produced for the reasons mentioned above, so it will be valuable.

Moreover, he drew our name in katakana, which I think is even more valuable.
