About the Beni 紅 colorway

Beni is the deep red drawn from safflower, historically a costly dye reserved for special, celebratory garments.

About Ichimatsu

Ichimatsu is the simple two-color chequerboard — endlessly continuous and quietly bold.

Although the chequer is ancient, the name comes from the Edo-period kabuki actor Sanogawa Ichimatsu, who wore the pattern on his hakama and made it a fashion sensation. It returned to global attention as the basis of the Tokyo 2020 emblem.
