Description

Description

Ishirō Honda was a Japanese director who worked closely with Kurosawa but is arguably most recognised for his main role in the 1950s and 1960s kaijū eiga (“monster movie”) craze.

While not as well-known or recognised as his Japanese contemporaries Akira Kurosawa and Yasujiro Ozu, Honda had a long successful career — after all, he was the man who first brought Godzilla to the big screen.

Honda intended to give Japan’s first monster movie a feeling of reality and authenticity. Godzilla is a classic cinematic tale of nuclear war and science gone wrong. Throughout his work on the kaijū eiga films, Honda spoke to scientists and academics on how to make his stories more realistic. To be as genuine as possible, he ordered his actors to behave as they would in any circumstance, no matter how absurd.

Brand

Kumagumi

Kumagumi is a Japanese clothing company founded by 2 old friends (Japanese & French) in 2015 in Kobe, Japan. Absolute fans of video games especially winning eleven, we started in 2008 selling Japanese imported consoles on eBay. Many others projects followed until the creation of KumaGumi in 2015.

“Kuma”(熊 / Bear) “Gumi”(組 Group) reminds us of our days, evenings, years (?!) spent playing videogames with friends hibernating like bears. We wanted a crocodile as a logo but it was already occupied, so we took the bear.

Our aim is to do quality retrogaming apparel you can actually wear in real life not just during events or conventions.

We also try to have the most environmentally friendly product possible (ok that’s a cliché now but anyway). That’s why our products are using only WATER based inked and done quasi LOCALLY (in the US for the USA/international orders, in Europe for the EU orders). NO CUSTOM FEES!
