Founded in 2016 by Tokyo-born designer Kozaburo Akasaka—who honed his craft at Central Saint Martins, Parsons, and Thom Browne—Kozaburo is a New York-based menswear label that bridges Eastern philosophy with Western subcultures. The brand is defined by its poetic juxtaposition of classic tailoring, 1990s Tokyo street style, and traditional Japanese craftsmanship. Akasaka’s signature aesthetic is rooted in a concept he calls the "Land of the Setting Sun," an imaginary utopia that blends Zen spirituality with Americana and grunge influences.
