History: Hiroshima established a professional baseball team as part of the city's reconstruction efforts after the atomic bomb devastation in 1945. The Carp ("Koi" in Japanese) were perennially underfunded, and were so poor that in 1953 they could only afford to issue one uniform per player. The Carp played in Hiroshima Municipal Stadium until 2008.

United StatesThe importance of the Carp to rebuilding Hiroshima cannot be understated. The quality and beauty of this cap is a beautiful way to memorialize this history.
United StatesThis is the nicest and most comfortable baseball cap I’ve ever worn! Delivered promptly and as expected. Great experience!
United StatesLove the hat, it's exactly as pictured. The quality is exceptionally high, but like all old hats, it sits kind of high on my head. Wish it was a bit deeper, but that's more of a defect in my massive dome than the hat.
CanadaGorgeous cap in person. One of the most beautiful I've seen. Gave it to my nephew for his birthday and he was stoked!
SwedenNice Looking hat!
