What is Namitatsu?
The Namitatsu brand represents a fusion between surfing and peace which is what Namitatsu literally means in Japanese. Surfing came to Japan from America in the 1960s. However, if there were surfers in the Edo period (1603-1868), what would they have worn? In answer to this simple question, Namitatsu brings ancient Japanese designs to current styles. We are offering a new surfing style for Japan.
