[Jin Yuan Xing] Tetrapod Fisherman's Hat | Reversible Handmade Outdoor Hiking Print

【 About the Print 】 "Don't walk the wrong path." Originating from World War II, tetrapods were initially battlefield installations designed to block tanks. After the war, when abandoned by the sea, their excellent wave-dissipating effect was discovered, leading to the coastal scenery we see today. Resembling "zongzi" (sticky rice dumplings), they are also called "rouzongjiao" in Taiwanese. There's even an urban legend in Taiwan that if you offend gangsters, you'll be made into a tetrapod. However, along Taiwan's 1,338-kilometer coastline, there are as many as 753 kilometers of tetrapods, harbors, and seawalls. These artificial concrete structures may also impact coastal ecosystems and even the connection between humans and the ocean, which is worth our deep consideration. 【 About the Brand 】 Jin Yuan Xing: A Century-Old Fabric Store from Tainan Founded in 1923 by the first-generation founder, Mr. Zhang Xiang, starting from a simple shop on Shennong Street in Tainan. The business primarily focused on fabric import, dyeing, and wholesale/retail, gradually developing into a significant fabric supplier during the Japanese colonial and post-restoration periods. However, with industrial transformation and changing consumer habits, the fabric store business gradually declined. A century later, it has transformed into "Jin Yuan Xing Fabric Store," "Jin Yuan Xing Living," and "Jin Yuan Xing Space." Weaving local culture with creative aesthetics, we continue to inherit the diligent spirit of a century-old fabric store through the design of printed fabrics, the development of lifestyle products, and the curation of art and cultural events. ___ Exclusive Print Design / Designed, Produced, and Manufactured in Taiwan / Reversible / Brim can be folded up to create a mini-hat ___ Material: 100% Polyester Size: M Origin: Taiwan *Due to variations in print cut placement, the actual print may differ slightly from the product images, which are for reference only.
