Originating from the Bay Area and based in Los Angeles, Teruo Artistry (pronounced teh-roo-oh) is a creative lifestyle clothing brand inspired by a collective of artists who dedicate their lives to creating something from nothing. Embodying art, music and fashion, Teruo Artistry is always creating—by any dreams necessary. Teruo Artistry’s name comes from the founders’ grandfather, Teruo Iyama, who, after being incarcerated in the Japanese-American concentration camps of World War II, became a successful entrepreneur and fine artist. Teruo Artistry adopted the name in the hopes of emulating Teruo’s immense perseverance, courage and talent. Teruo is a Japanese name meaning “sunshine/good fortune-man.”
