"Unseen Depth Drawn by the Sea and Light."
A collaboration T-shirt with photographer Kimiyuki Kumamoto, featuring photographic works born from the sea of Miyazaki.

■Design
This collaboration T-shirt features photographer Kimiyuki Kumamoto, who is based in Miyazaki and active both in Japan and internationally.
The front is printed with a photograph taken by Mr. Kumamoto in the seas of Miyazaki, his main base of activity.
The back features his core creative message, "I hold unseen depth within the photograph," expressing the worldview of his work.

Option 1: "Sunrise at the Boundary"
This piece captures the subtle light born between night and morning.
I believe boundaries are inherently invisible.
Yet, at the very moment night transitioned to dawn, only the light shining on the sea surface clearly revealed the presence of that boundary.
Things that constantly change and things that remain constant.
This photograph gazes at the essence residing within that liminal space.

Option 2: "Unseen Imprint"
You can see a surfer riding on the waves, but you never see their trajectory from beneath the sea.
The riding etched on the sea surface disappears without leaving a form. Nevertheless, the traces of that movement are surely carved into the water.
Even if unseen, what existed there undeniably leaves something behind.
This photograph is a work that gazes upon such unseen imprints.

Option 3: "The Ease of Sunset"
This work captures the moments of twilight spent on the sea.
Sunsets are beautiful everywhere. However, when observing that light while floating on a surfboard on the sea, one feels something more profound than mere beauty.
It's not about acquiring something, but simply being present in that moment.
This photograph encapsulates the richness and comfort felt within the fading light.
