dunhill Releases Exclusive Interview with Hajime Moriyasu, Head Coach of Japan National Football Team

dunhill has released an exclusive interview with Hajime Moriyasu, head coach of the SAMURAI BLUE (Japan national football team). This interview delves into the essence of leadership and composure.

As the official suit supplier for the Japan national football team, dunhill has long recognized a philosophy in SAMURAI BLUE that deeply resonates with the maison’s core values. While the 2026 collection campaign has highlighted the concepts of belief and preparation, this interview shifts focus to the personal perspectives that underpin them.

As part of this campaign, the interview with Coach Moriyasu continues to spotlight the SAMURAI BLUE COLLECTION 2026. Designed as the team’s official attire for formal occasions ahead of a crucial year, the collection features a refined wardrobe. At its heart is a custom Bordon three-piece suit crafted from exclusive wool-and-cashmere fabric woven in England. Paired with a spread-collar shirt made from Giza cotton, and completed with silk accessories handcrafted in Suffolk and Macclesfield, each element reflects dunhill’s long-standing dialogue with traditional weavers and its unwavering commitment to precise tailoring.

Released as part of the campaign by dunhill and SAMURAI BLUE, this interview offers a personal perspective on the mental discipline that supports the team’s preparation for a year defined by critical decisions. Coach Moriyasu’s quiet dignity and disciplined leadership embody the values at dunhill’s core—precision, restraint, and clarity of purpose.

The full interview with Hajime Moriyasu will be available on dunhill’s official website.

Known for his calm demeanor on the sidelines and leadership defined by self-restraint rather than showmanship, Coach Moriyasu discusses the principles guiding his management. At the core of his philosophy lies observation and composure. Maintaining calm to accurately understand the ever-changing dynamics of a match, while creating an environment where players can confidently express their abilities freely. For the coach, decision-making is not about impulsive reactions, but about reading the entire game and identifying both strengths and vulnerabilities. As Moriyasu puts it, "Fighting with passion while remaining calm leads to better judgment."
