Samuel Wang recently started new clothing line called Akufuncture.

The goal is to create more awareness for Chinese culture through fashionable urban apparels. Samuel and his team at Akufuncture felt that as much as the US has been enamored by the mystery of the Far East, there is still very little knowledge about Chinese culture, especially for the younger generations.

With their line of t-shirts, they hope to spark an interest in just knowing bits and pieces about who we are and where we came from.

About Akufuncture

A fusion of Chinese culture and urban fashion is at the core of Akufuncture. For many years, Japanese fashion has taken over much of the urban scene with its creative ideas and clever artwork. It has utilized many Japanese cultural icons, figures, styles, and legends to great effects.

The wildly popular Japanese fusion suggests that there has always been a thirst for the “oriental mystique” in the west. With 5000 years of history, China is rich with cultural mystique, ancient heroes, and romantic mythology. However, the West has yet to experience the irresistible essence of true Chinese culture. Our goal is to get you in touch with the “essence of the East” through a new trend of “fusion fashion”.
