Shotokan Hats
Description: A minimalist, text-first design documenting Shotokan Karate and its formal establishment in 1938 under Gichin Funakoshi. Framed by Okinawan origins and early modern transmission into Japan, this piece presents Shotokan as an institutional record rather than a symbol or slogan. Flat ink, restrained ochre highlights, and documentary typography—no portraits, no effects, no embellishment. Karate history, recorded.
