Buddhist Sutra Hannya Tights
Unique religious scripture design stockings
The street fashion trend for so-called "tattoo tights" had declined after its first spurt a few years ago, but there are still lots of fantastic stockings being made and you continue to see them on the legs of young fashionistas in Harajuku. These Buddhist Sutra Hannya Tights are some of the most original patterns you can get. Created by Avantgarde, one of the pioneers of the tattoo tights trend, the beige stockings are decorated with actual Buddhist scripture. In Japan, casually using religious motifs need not offend people and you won't see monks protesting how fashion has co-opted these texts. The tights also include two images of Hannya, a female demon famous in Japanese Noh theatre and who you could keep at bay by reciting sutras.
The Buddhist Sutra Hannya Tights features:
- Sutra and Hannya face design
- Color: beige
- Unisex
- Materials: nylon, polyurethane
- 20 denier
- Made in Japan
