LIFE DELIGHTS IN LIFE PHOTOGRAPHS BY CHRIS GENTILE

To commemorate the opening of "Pilgrim Surf + Supply Kyoto," brand founder Chris Gentile has compiled a photo book of Kyoto scenery taken by himself. The title "LIFE DELIGHTS IN LIFE" and the words "ENERGY IS ETERNAL DELIGHT" inserted at the beginning of the album are taken from poems by William Blake, a British poet who he considers to be his hero. Chris has always been well-versed in the spirit of "Zen," and feels that "Kyoto Zen" resonates with his own and William's ideas, and he captures it from his own perspective. Through this book, we will share with you Chris' thoughts and messages about Kyoto and ``Pilgrim Surf + Supply Kyoto.''
