Okinami Kai

Okinami Kai: The very first Okinami released.

The website was not up to the high demand this release generated. Server issues occurred and a lot of people complained about the website. This illustrates the fact that it’s hard to control high peaks in visits while 95% of the time, traffic is relatively low.
Back in 2012 Oscha was in very high demand, there was a very dedicated (growing) fanbase and only a small production, resulting in scarcity and items being in very high demand.

Okinami

Oscha introduced Okinami at the end of 2012 and it stayed a firm favorite for years. The inspiration for the pattern comes from Hokusai’s ‘The Great Wave off Kanagawa’. Several other patterns are derived from this one. For example: Rei, Kasumi, Sekai. You can see ‘Alto’ clouds in the skies too.
