Otani Mon Hat

This limited-edition rope cap honors heritage and renewal through the Ōtani Mon—Elise Hatsuko’s family crest from the Edo era—featuring the Paulownia, said to be the only tree upon which the phoenix descends. Symbolizing divine favor, resilience, and rebirth, the emblem connects past and present in a contemporary expression of Japanese identity.

Crafted from lightweight, washable polyester for all-day comfort, the cap includes a Stay-Dri sweatband for moisture control, a classic braided rope detail along the bill, and an adjustable snapback closure for a perfect fit. Ideal for travel, reflection, or everyday wear, this piece launches alongside the new podcast Elise is hosting- Pilgrimage: Manzanar, Memory, and Meaning.
