The Enduring Allure of Captain Santa
Conceived in 1985 by Koyo Shimoyama, the visionary behind the legendary 80s brand BOAT HOUSE, Captain Santa is more than just a character; it’s a philosophy. The iconic figure, a Santa Claus from a distant southern island bringing happiness, embodies Shimoyama’s heartfelt wish for adults to perpetually chase their dreams.
This playful yet profound spirit is woven into every garment. Captain Santa’s designs are deeply rooted in traditional American casual wear, infused with a longing for vintage Americana and the radiant, solar-kissed Hawaiian seas. Each piece tells a story of adventure, nostalgia, and the boundless joy of youth. The brand has garnered a passionate following over its four decades, with enthusiasts often expressing how Captain Santa’s designs evoke a sense of nostalgic joy and enduring style. It is this unique connection that keeps the spirit of the brand alive, year after year.
Joymark Design: A Legacy of Dreams and the Sea
The parent company, Joymark Design Co., Ltd., embarked on its journey in 1969 from a modest apartment in Tokyo. Celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2025, the company’s name itself—a blend of ‘joy,’ ‘mark,’ and ‘design’—reflects its founding principle: to bring enjoyment to all through clothing and design.
At its core, Joymark Design is driven by Koyo Shimoyama’s unwavering belief in the power of dreams, a profound love for the sea, and an enduring admiration for American culture. These themes have remained the guiding stars for the company throughout its five decades, shaping its unique aesthetic and enduring appeal.
