Faces of Kagoshima Socks by Kagomania

These socks are by the Kagomania brand of illustrator Motohiro Waki.

They depict some faces of modern day Kagoshima and… similarly expressive cats.

A reworking perhaps of the classic Midnight Marauders album cover.

The socks are one size, and will work for averagely sized feet.

About Kagomania

The modern stories and identity of Kagoshima are told in the work of Motohiro Waki and his Kagomania brand. A designer, illustrator and observer of his home region, Waki makes work characterised by its humour and bold lines in drawing scenes from history and local geography. Waki frequently draws an expressive Saigo Takamori, the complex folk hero of the late Satsuma era, together with his dog Tsun for example. Alongside volcanoes, daikon radishes and other symbols recognisable of Kagoshima - Waki’s work provides contemporary narration of what it means to have roots in old Satsuma.
