"Towards the Waves" Collection Ocean WAWA Classic Cooling Vest (Unisex)

**◆ The Story Behind the Creation ◆** The indigenous ocean communities of Taiwan's East Coast share a deep connection with the sea. Every summer, they hold a fishing festival (sea ritual) where the strong men bring in schools of fish. Everyone celebrates with song and dance by the sea, and passersby can feel their immense joy. This tradition, passed down through generations, is rich with moving legends. Long ago, a brave warrior was shipwrecked on a deserted island. He longed and pondered daily, unable to find a way to leave. One day, a large whale appeared in the sea and said, "Let me help you!" The great whale then taught the warrior shipbuilding techniques, allowing him to finally return home and reunite with his family. From then on, during the annual fishing festival, the men would teach everyone how to build boats and offer sacrifices of wine and betel nuts to express their deepest gratitude to the great whale. WasangShow incorporates the whale into indigenous totems, commemorating this beautiful ocean legend. The flying fish of the ocean tribes appeared in the dreams of elders, sharing knowledge about how to eat them, their taboos, and the rituals. The Tao people have followed these instructions for generations, and the flying fish schools have kept their promise, returning to the designated waters every March. The flying fish season is divided into three stages: the Fish Welcoming Festival, the Storage Festival, and the Final Consumption Festival, embodying reverence for the natural environment and the hope for a sustainable ecosystem. A fisherman from the ocean tribes accidentally fell into the sea one day and drifted to an island inhabited entirely by women. He spent a few happy days there, but one day while walking by the sea, he suddenly began to cry out of homesickness. Just then, a sea turtle appeared beside him and offered to take him home. The fisherman happily followed the sea turtle back to his hometown. He asked the sea turtle how he could repay its kindness. The sea turtle replied that upon returning to his tribe, he should establish age groups and manage the tribe well. The sea turtle said it would return in five years to check on his progress, and the fisherman should prepare five rice cakes, five jars of wine, five bunches of betel nuts, and five betel nut leaves as repayment. **◆ Product Features ◆** 1.
