The ONI Kiraku II “鬼樂” might be the lightest denim you've ever encountered, especially if your collection primarily features jeans from Japanese brands. Dyed with natural indigo in Japan, it boasts a deep indigo hue designed to fade beautifully and uniquely. The Kiraku II is an upgrade from the already popular first generation Kiraku. Although the differences might not be immediately noticeable, they enhance the overall quality of the fabric. Designed as summer jeans, ONI has introduced them in an 860 relaxed taper fit, featuring a roomy top block and a strong taper down to with short-inseam leg opening. This practical fit accommodates stronger legs very well.


The vintage machines used to produce Kiraku denim are specially adjusted for ONI to create a super low tension, contributing to the denim's soft, slubby handfeel, which is a signature of this denim. The weave is so loose that light or sun beams can pass through the jeans when you see it against the light. This is likely the most breathable denim we've ever encounter. Despite this airy characteristic, the denim remains rigid and strong, thanks to a blend of Peruvian cotton and long-staple pima cotton. Moreover, the rarity of jeans dyed with natural indigo adds to their allure. The use of specially blended pima cotton yarns dyed with natural indigo makes the Kiraku jeans particularly intriguing. Since cotton can have a significant impact on the outcome of indigo dyeing, variations in cotton types or countries of origin can lead to markedly different results.


This will be an ideal pair of jeans to wear on a vacation to the southern regions or Asian countries. Even when a heatwave hits your city, you would probably still be able to chill in your Kiraku pants in front of the work desk.


“Grab an iced cold drink and wear Kiraku.”
