Our Story

Descendant of Miyagi is a family-run Okinawan apparel brand born from adversity. After losing my uncle and other loved ones unexpectedly, my aunt (our calligrapher), my mom (our brand manager) and me (our half-Japanese/African American visionary)—faced life’s fragility head-on. We channeled that into a mission: empower ourselves and others to live fully, chasing potential over regret. Fusing my aunt’s Japanese calligraphy with empowering stories, we turned clothing into more than fabric—“it's an expression of your identities and stories”. Deep within each of us burns a relentless passion to grow, to become the best version of ourselves. Every piece we create is designed to be lived in, to mark the milestones of your unique story, and to echo your commitment to personal development.

Handcrafted in Okinawa, Japan. This blend of cultural heritage and artistic craftsmanship results in wearable art that serves as a personal reminder of your potential and the continuous journey of self-discovery.

We are Descendant of Miyagi. Join us. Wear your growth. Express your journey.
