"Wa" Woodblock Print Pocket Square, 100% Charitable Donation

The Hill-Side produced this woodblock printed pocket square as a charitable fundraising product with the goal of raising money to support disaster relief efforts in Japan and elsewhere.

The character printed on this pocket square is an old written name for Japan. It is pronounced "Wa" and roughly translates as "harmony; peace; balance." This name for Japan originated in the 8th century, when Japanese scholars applied a new written character to replace the previous, Chinese-given name for their country.

Today, the idea that Japanese culture is based upon "wa" or harmony is a source of faith and pride for Japanese people. This character was chosen by The Hill-Side's Japanese business partner, who currently lives in Tokyo.

100% of the $40 purchase price of this product will be donated to the International Rescue Committee


The International Rescue Committee responds to the world's worst humanitarian crises and helps people to survive and rebuild their lives. Founded in 1933 at the request of Albert Einstein, the IRC offers lifesaving care and life-changing assistance to refugees forced to flee from war or disaster.

At work today in over 40 countries and in 22 U.S. cities, the IRC restores safety, dignity and hope to millions who are uprooted and struggling to endure.

The IRC is currently supporting the relief efforts of aid groups in Japan delivering critical supplies to survivors of the earthquake and tsunami.

NOTE: This donation will be given to the IRC as a non-earmarked gift. This means that some of the money donated may be used outside of Japan. We choose to donate in this manner because we trust the experts at the IRC to allocate funds where they are needed most. (Read about the benefits of non-earmarked donations here).

Due to a high volume of orders, your handkerchief may take up to one week to ship. We are currently in the process of printing our second run of "Wa" handkerchiefs to accommodate demand.

Limited Edition Mister Freedom® original “Ninkyo” Tshirt. The FULL amount of your purchase will go to the American Red Cross to support disaster relief efforts to help those affected by the earthquake in Japan and tsunami throughout the Pacific.

Because the fight is far from over, and I believe in res non verba versus being just speechless in front of the constant and on-going flow of bad news from Japan, here is round two. This is what we cooked up this time:

We hand stenciled 30 custom numbered T-shirts, with original MF® artwork, this time inspired by 60’s propaganda art (Mai ‘68in France, Cuba Libre, etc…)
The use of the ninkyo kanji (”an ancient philosophy that values Humanity, Justice and Duty…”) was inspired by an interesting read entitled “Yakuza to the rescue”. Take five, it’s insightful about the often crossed line between Right and Wrong.
Before afterhours bloggers get all excited, I confirm that there is NO political message is this graphic. The only message conveyed is that Japan will need all its will/work power and solidarity to rebuild the mess, especially after the world’s attention gets distracted by other events.

Mister Freedom will be donating ONE HUNDRED PERCENT of the sale of each shirt to the American Red Cross, who will properly dispatch the funds to help those affected by the recent 9.0 earthquake in Japan and Tsunami throughout the Pacific. The MF donation for the FULL AMOUNT, $100.00 per shirt, will be made on the day of your purchase, and the official Red Cross receipt will be available on demand.

ii heart cazals

It was in the early 80ies (about '85) when the CAZAL top model was put on the market. First the 951 and then later a very similar model (just a small difference) the 955. Both model were available in different type of colors. They were available in gold, black, white, red,... and of course different colours of glasses.The models in the U.S. were very different from the models that were sold in europe because people from overseas had obviously a different taste. So you can still find red frames with diamonds and blue glasses in the U.S. that you would never find here in europe even if CAZAL is homebased here in Germany. But because these glasses were high quality products and not cheap glasses for 5$, most of the B-Boys were not able to buy them because they were very expensive (up to 500$ depending the collection). So there was just the possibility to snatch them. In the Bronx people were even killed for a CAZAL frame.Cari Zalloni himself was very shocked about this fact. The CAZAL BOYS even made a song of it and it was called "SNATCHIN CAZALS" ('85 Tempre Records)
