SUN SURF SPECIAL EDITION “PAIR OF HERON” is a rare vintage Aloha shirt from 1950s Hawaii, featuring a dynamic design of herons grasping willow branches over a lake. Unlike typical large animal motifs of the era, this piece stands out with its unique Japanese-inspired imagery. Crafted from cotton bark cloth rather than the common rayon, it reflects exceptional quality and collectability. Produced under the legacy of S. Hata Shoten and Y. Hata Company, this shirt embodies a significant cultural and historical connection to Japanese immigrant heritage in Hawaii.
