Wasao Murasaki

Welcome to my first Hat Explanation post.

Today’s cap is called Wasao Murasaki, and here’s the scoop:

This hat was made in the summer of 2017.
It was designed for a Japanese friend of mine Katsuhisa Wasada, better known as Wasao.

Wasao and I first met at a restaurant/bar we both were employed at.
Through working with Wasao, I found out that one of his passions and past times was photography.

That summer, Wasao was kind enough to tag along with a group of our friends where a
photoshoot was held at Greenwich National Park, displaying clothing and other hats designed for
the summer of 2017.

Because of his outstanding craft, he helped me document all of the hats I created that summer,
and truly helped me further extend my brand into what it is today.

Wasao being his name, and the colour of the hat is purple, Murasaki being the Japanese translation of that color:
