Japanese T-shirts

Japanese T-shirts Tシャツ

Buy Japanese pop/manga T-shirts, online, direct from Japan.

Here are a few of the T-shirts offered by GoodsFromJapan, with a short explanation of each.

Please contact us if interested.

DRAGONBALL T-SHIRT (FRONT & BACK VIEW)

Much of Japan's pop culture is intimately tied up with comics, or manga, as they are called in Japanese. The T-shirt pictured above (front and back view) features the DragonBall manga theme.

EXORCIST T-SHIRT

As with any culture, ghost tales, too, have a long history in Japan. With the above T-shirt, the 1970s horror movie "The Exorcist" is given a Japanese manga-like twist.

"TWILL WAVE" T-SHIRT

This "Twill Wave" T-shirt is another manga-inspired creation, featuring a particularly ethereal young female with a decidedly space-age theme.

"WARNING" T-SHIRT

"EMERGENCY" T-SHIRT (+ DETAIL)

"Abunai!" (Danger!) is a favorite Japanese expression, heard daily. These T-shirts sum up the Japanese obsession with danger and emergencies.

All the above T-shirts and similar are available on request from GoodsFromJapan. Please inquire about availability and prices.
