Our Story
Made with love. Rooted in wisdom.
Wisdom Threads was created by Tomo Fujita’s daughter as a way to bring his teachings beyond the classroom and into everyday life.
What started with a few simple phrases—"Don’t worry! Don’t compare! Don’t expect too fast! Be kind to yourself!”—has grown into a mindset that resonates with musicians around the world.
Having witnessed the power of adopting this mindset, we set out to create wearable reminders that help you stay grounded in your practice.
Whether you’re a longtime fan of Tomo’s, a student of Guitar Wisdom, or someone who simply connects with his words—we made this for you.
Our Threads
Inspired by community. Backed by Tomo.
Each design begins as a thread—literally—started by someone in the Guitar Wisdom community. These threads spark conversations among people on a shared path of learning. What you find in our store is a reflection of those connections—the lessons we return to, and the gentle encouragement to keep going and growing.
From essential music theory to classic tees, we focus on items that stand the test of time. Every product gets Tomo’s stamp of approval—from the way it fits and feels to how well it holds up over time. If he wouldn’t wear it, we won’t sell it.
The Values We Wear
At the heart of every item are the values that shape not just Tomo’s teaching, but how we aim to move through the world:
🧘 Patience
Growth takes time. Slow down, go at your own pace, and prioritize consistency over intensity.
🌱 Humility
We are always learning. Revisit the basics, focus on the details, and keep an open mind.
💡 Intention
Small choices add up. Commit to your efforts, reflect on your progress, and practice with purpose.
Our Mission
Our goal is simple: to share Tomo’s wisdom in a form you can see, feel, and wear. It's a gentle nudge to stay grounded and keep going, one thread at a time.
