Shizuka Shirt - White

静か (shizuka): "quiet, still."

Pilgrims on Shikoku's 88-temple route still walk in white. Their robe, the hakui, is the white of burial clothes, an old sign that the walker accepts dying on the road, and its back is often lettered dōgyō ninin, "two traveling together": the pilgrim and Kūkai, the monk who founded Shingon Buddhism and whose path the circuit follows.

Here it's bright white linen, light and breathable, with a wrapped drop V-neck and a soft standing collar. The three-quarter sleeves end in open cuffs, and the pullover body finishes in a curved hem that sits clean over slim black pants.

On a long walk of your own, at a garden wedding or on vacation, it's the summer shirt that goes with what you already own, from black pants to washed denim and sandals. Find its neighbors among our linen clothing.
