To celebrate the launch of the travel collection, we collaborated with artist BANBU. We have drawn his idea of ​​rainy travel. The illustration depicts BANBU's distinctive three-eyed green character, BANBU-kun, carrying an umbrella and wearing hunter items while traveling in the rain.

The title of the work is "Secret Flower". The red flowers in full bloom under the thick clouds symbolize the love between the two people, and are sweet honey flowers for them. The motif is a red flower called Silene, which blooms from spring to summer even in the rain.
