The concept behind the Japan Olympic Supporter costume is a mixture of Japanese fashion culture plus modernity in 200 years that translates into some chic and fashionable couture dress. The Japanese flag is also brought up as a symbol of pride and patriotism.The featured illustration on the garment is inspired from the woodblock print art featuring motifs of landscapes from renowned Ukiyo-e artists such as Hokusai and Hiroshige. Whereas the tattoo-like leggings come from the Edo period, symbolizing bravery.
