Cariuma x Hokusai
Sustainable footwear inspired by Japanese masters
The Challenge
Cariuma partnered with the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston to unite eco-conscious innovation with cultural heritage. Curated by ARTiSTORY under the Promote Sustainability pillar, the collaboration reimagines Katsushika Hokusai's masterful 'Peonies and Canary' woodblock print on sustainable sneakers—bringing fine art into everyday fashion with an environmental purpose.
Our Solution
Hokusai's 'Peonies and Canary'—a vivid depiction of a golden canary mid-flight among lush peony blooms against a deep indigo sky—inspires the collection's intricate patterns and bold color palette. The sneakers, made from organic cotton and natural rubber, faithfully echo the artwork's harmony between nature, movement, and beauty. Each pair becomes a wearable tribute to the fleeting elegance of both flora and fauna.
