Proudly announcing the latest release in the acclaimed collection of limited-edition spectacles that honor the extraordinary contributions of Japan’s most influential artists and cultural innovators. This newest chapter pays tribute to two pioneering figures of Japan’s postwar avant-garde: Shūji Terayama, the visionary poet, playwright, filmmaker, and photographer whose provocative work challenged artistic and social conventions; and Daido Moriyama, the celebrated photographer whose raw, expressive imagery helped redefine the language of contemporary photography.

Intent on pushing forward while remaining rooted in the traditions of Black American music, Thelonious Monk was at the forefront of modern music, crafting his ever-evolving sound from sharp, angular melodies, a masterful command of dissonance, and a considered use of silence. The MISTERIOSO are named after Monk’s landmark 1958 live album, inspired by the distinctive eyewear worn by the artist during his celebrated performances at the legendary Minton's Playhouse in Harlem, NYC.
