VOLCOM collaborates with artist Karasu to host a special 'Waruagaki' session at the Shonan Open venue on July 19–20, 2026. Participants can bring their own clothing for on-site artistic customization by Karasu himself.

Ultimately, we just want to create something cool.

As Karasu says, the origin is very simple.

Since its founding, VOLCOM has valued staying true to one's own style. Wearing favorite items for a long time is one of its core values.

Karasu's unique drawing and printing technique, 'Waruagaki,' reflects a philosophy of engaging with each garment individually.

By persisting in one's authentic expression, customizing each piece by hand, and creating new value—this unwavering commitment to pure creative impulse aligns perfectly with VOLCOM's 'True To This' ethos.

At this weekend's Shonan Open event on July 19 and 20, a special session will allow attendees to experience 'Waruagaki' directly by Karasu. Bring that favorite piece of clothing that got stained, or any item you'd like to personalize even more.

Please bring your garments to the venue.
