BATA Kimono Jacket

The BATA Kimono Jacket — Kotoko is being developed as a wearable research object within Because of War Study 001. The textile composition centers on the porcupine, a symbol associated with resilience, collective defense and the capacity to respond from every direction. Around it sit stools, weapons, botanical forms, architecture and symbolic marks gathered through the research process. Rather than presenting these elements as a literal historical reconstruction, the design reorganizes them into a contemporary textile language. The black and bone Archive treatment gives the artwork the appearance of a preserved illustration, field drawing or research plate. The jacket is still undergoing research, material development and sampling. Its final construction, materials, fit, sizing and release details will be published only after the design has been fully resolved. BATA belongs to Study 001, Because of War’s first research-led collection examining how conflict, movement and cultural memory create new forms.
