We are lucky to have you! Repost @cukui 10 Years Strong! It has been 10 years since we opened up our flagship store in the neighborhood, and throughout the years we have borne witness to the growth of our brand, our city, and the people who have helped to make this creative community what it is today.... . . To commemorate this momentous milestone, we will be releasing the Cukui 10 Year Collection, consisting of three individual drops in the weeks ahead. Each release will feature exclusively crafted pieces and products to celebrate the many small wins that have led us up to this point in our brand’s history. This is our way of marking our place in the now and looking ahead into the future, with you all. . . In the last 10 years we have done hundreds of art shows, pop-ups, collaborations, festivals, and large-scale events from our humble doorstep to communities across the world. Cukui continues to highlight in its designs the elements that have helped us to brave this often-fickle industry: a celebration of our cultural heritages, our humble beginnings in street/youth culture, and the enduring nature of grassroots community building. From the past and present staff, to all our partners, to the people we have lost, to the new generation we have gained, you have all helped to build this brand into something beyond the products and clothes. Thanks for riding with us, and we hope to see you all soon. . . : @dandiggity @orlycukui See more

So good to hear San Jose Taiko doing what they do best!

Repost @lannysphotos Very excited to have @rista.art and her amazing art in my humble gallery space. Her art show opens this Friday and we are practicing extreme social distancing while enjoying this collection that she’s been working on all summer. I first met Rista many years ago at the first @thearsenalsj and it’s been such a pleasure to watch her art grow through the years as she has been learning and honing her skills at The Arsenal under the guidance of @roanvictor.... She is a kind, warm and very talented young woman and I hope you can come see her art. The space is cozy, so please be patient as we are only allowing two people at a time to see the art. Please be kind and allow 6 feet of space as you wait and mask up. Art show is this Friday, August 21st in Japantown at my studio: 590 North 5th Street San Jose, CA 95112 5PM-8PM The show will be ongoing and you can view by appt after or every Wednesday and Friday 9-3PM
