The design of this eye-catching jersey has been developed through collaboration with the Takumi Shuku workshop, known for its commitment to preserving traditional crafts from Shizuoka. This partnership aims to intertwine local heritage with the fervent spirit of S-Pulse supporters during one of the league's most anticipated matches.
“We at Takumi Shuku are proud to design this jersey to bring Shizuoka's spirit to the national stage,” stated representatives from the workshop. The jersey features elements inspired by Shizuoka's rich cultural background, including traditional designs and motifs celebrating local landmarks.

Takumi Shuku, run by 株式会社創造舎 since 2021, underwent notable renovations to become 'a place connecting history and the future,' presenting traditional crafts like Suruga bamboo crafts, pottery, and lacquerware. The workshop not only exists as a space for craftsmanship but also opened innovative avenues for local commerce, including cafes serving specialties of local wagashi and honey from nearby beekeepers.
Adding to its cultural significance, Takumi Shuku has recently introduced accommodations, renovating traditional houses for guests to immerse themselves fully in the arts, including those who wish to bring their canine companions along through the '1HOTEL' concept. This connection to local culture exemplifies the workshop's mission to become a leading site for heritage preservation, making Shizuoka's craftsmanship accessible to both locals and visitors alike.
With the forthcoming match against Nagoya Grampus, Shimizu S-Pulse is not just focused on the game but on the deep-seated community sentiments and pride tied to Shizuoka.
