Chief of Animal
KIRIN is an imaginary animal that is said to be the chief of animal, and appear only in time of peace. Poetry on the back means that ‘It is as warm as the sun when approaching, and like a cloud of grace when viewed from a distance’. This is the old poem about the king who governs a peaceful world. Enjoy chic colors that are conscious of traditional colors, and beautiful KOMON design! (fine patterns expressing the scales).

The KIRIN is said to appear when a benevolent king rules. Along with the Phoenix, the Divine Turtle, and the Yinglong (Winged Dragon), it is one of the “Four Divine Beasts” – auspicious creatures that appear as omens of good fortune and are regarded as the leaders of various animal species. The KIRIN is considered the leader of all beasts, according to legend, the Yinglong gave birth to the “Kenma(a type of auspicious horse)”, which in turn gave birth to the KIRIN, which then gave birth to all other beasts. It has its roots in ancient Chinese mythology, but these kinds of stories are fascinating, aren’t they?

The KIRIN is said to have the face of dragon, and the body of deer with scales, and cow tail and horse hoof, and its character is very very kind. It is said that they walk through the air so as not to step on insects. Apparently, there are not only blue KIRIN but also red, white, black, and yellow ones.
