OSAKA over 力 in white on the left side.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHigh-school baseball is huge in Japan, and Osaka is one of its strongholds. Schools like PL Gakuen and Osaka Tōin have won Kōshien, the national high-school tournament, again and again. This cap keeps it simple: the city's name in the arched block letters you'd find on a team jacket, and nothing else on the front. 力 (chikara) means strength, Osaka's virtue in Five Cities, Five Virtues.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt's a classic dad-hat style baseball cap in 100% chino cotton twill, unstructured and low profile, so it sits close to the head and softens the more you wear it. The adjustable strap and antique buckle at the back mean one size fits most. Available in Spruce, Navy and Black. Made to order, and US orders are made in the US.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGood to know\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does 力 mean?\u003c\/strong\u003e 力 (chikara) means strength.
