Don't miss this opportunity
to experience the world of CALMANTHOLOGY.
……………………………………………………………
Since Amanojak. has been handling this brand for many years,
I don't think an explanation is necessary, but for those who are not familiar with it, here's an introduction.
CALMANTHOLOGY
A contemporary prêt-à-porter shoe brand
born from the combination of the words CALM and ANTHOLOGY.
The concept is "Tradition and Evolution."
The designer is Mr. Makoto Kaneko,
who has experience designing both men's and women's shoes for a certain well-known shoe brand.
The items, which exude a unique elegance that combines his experience designing beyond gender
with the traditional men's shoes he has worn and seen, possess a unique originality.
While respecting the techniques and philosophies accumulated by pioneers,
they add a modern sensibility and essence to them.
They don't assert themselves too much, but they don't get lost either.
They propose "new standards" with a delicate sense of balance
unique to Japanese people.
CALMANTHOLOGY, which started in the Spring/Summer 2018 season,
is the culmination of Mr. Kaneko's 17 years of experience and knowledge
cultivated at renowned shoe brands,
and also
A brand born from the strong passion to "create the highest quality ready-to-wear shoes in Japan."
It is also a brand born from the strong passion to "create the highest quality ready-to-wear shoes in Japan."
Despite the designer's strong passion, the items are always altruistic and designed to cater to the wearer.
Rather than being swayed by fads and trends,
they create shoes that quietly and lastingly accompany the wearer's life and daily routine.
I feel that this philosophy consistently runs through CALMANTHOLOGY's shoes.
From material selection, last (shoe tree),
stitching, to design, there are no compromises in any part of the shoemaking process.
In fact, before designing the shoes, they even designed the box, wrapping paper, and shoe bag, showing their incredible dedication.
An easy-to-understand episode that illustrates the amazing dedication of CALMANTHOLOGY
is about the
"stitch count."
The stitch count refers to the number of stitches
in a certain length when sewing clothes, or in this case,
the upper and sole.
the number of stitches over a certain length.
it refers to.
The coarser the stitches, the more casual the impression, with sneakers having a very coarse stitch count, while dress shoes have finer stitches.
In the general knowledge of the leather shoe industry,
15 stitches per 3cm
is considered the limit, but
CALMANTHOLOGY achieves
a maximum of 19 stitches per 3cm
They stitch with an astonishing fineness.
This fineness, where the stitches are barely visible without close inspection,
not only improves durability but also creates a refined, sharp beauty.
However, the machines often can't withstand such fine stitching and emit smoke, so it's a dedication that gives factories a headache, lol.
Not only that, but they have also studied
the walking habits of Japanese people
and the amount of sweat on their soles.
They can also be described as
a shoe brand by Japanese people, for Japanese people.
It could also be called a shoe brand.
Many of the leathers used are
from tanneries coveted by luxury fashion houses, such as
"TANNERIE D'ANNONAY"
"TANNERIE IES DUPUY"
They use the highest quality leather in the world and meticulously select every component.
A dedication that could be seen as extreme in a way,
and
a sincere and uncompromising approach to shoemaking.
As always, I'm deeply impressed, and as someone who delivers these items to customers,
I feel a renewed sense of responsibility.
At first glance, it's simple.
But if you look closely, if you wear them,
they are unique shoes
composed of an extreme dedication to every detail.
This is the brand CALMANTHOLOGY.
And the brand, after much anticipation,
has announced this collection.
"01.EMARUIRA"
Until now, the continuously developed collection "PAGE," likened to a book, concluded with "12,"
and this collection is positioned as the beginning of a new story.
It's like finishing one chapter and moving on to the next page.
For CALMANTHOLOGY, it's a milestone collection
where the brand's phase changes significantly.
Also, starting this season,
the brand will also be launching its first-ever
women's shoes.
The aesthetics and techniques cultivated so far are
applied to a new field,
but for Kaneko-san, who has experience designing
for both men and women at a famous shoe brand,it can be said to be a return to his roots.
In any case, for CALMANTHOLOGY,
it's a new frontier.
"Deepening"
This is a very significant meaning and a big step
for a brand that has continued to deepen.
The word "EMARUIRA" itself is a coined word
created by Mr. Kaneko from his inspiration from scenery.
The "space" overflowing from the passion created by improvisation.
Its scent, shimmer, and fleetingness.
They express feelings and atmospheres that cannot be put into words
through their shoes as products.
The lineup is diverse, and in contrast to the PAGE collection,
which was basically only available in black,
white, red, and brown are also available.

"01. EMARUIRA"
Tradition and evolution.
This collection is the "answer" that CALMANTHOLOGY has arrived at after steadily progressing through trial and error in the midst of tradition and evolution.
"answer"
I believe this collection is the "answer".
