Origin

Musa-Shiya is named for an iconic brand of Hawaiian shirt created by tailor Koichiro "Musa-Shiya" Miyamoto[1] - the name came from his father Chotaro, who emigrated to Hawai'i from Musashi Province, Japan, and started a store named after his home province. There are many origin stories surrounding the design, many of which attribute the creation of "aloha shirts" to Koichiro during the 1920s and '30s.
