What is 初心

初心 (pronounced "chū xīn" in chinese and "sho shin" in Japanese) is a profound concept that has shaped Eastern philosophy for centuries, yet its wisdom feels increasingly relevant in our modern world.

初心 literally breaks down to, in both languages:

  • 初: initial, beginning, first
  • 心: heart, mind, core

While no single translation captures its full meaning, 初心 represents:

  • Your original heart—the authentic self beneath layers of expectations and experiences.
  • Your first intention—the pure purpose that sparked your journey before distractions clouded the path.
  • Your beginner's mind—approaching each day with fresh curiosity rather than assumptions.
  • Your return to essence—finding simplicity after navigating complexity.

This collection is more than fabric and design—it's a wearable reminder that our most authentic self isn't lost, just waiting to be remembered. In a world that constantly asks us to become something new, perhaps true growth is about returning to what we've always been at heart
