From the brand: Part of our original heavyweight T-shirt series, this piece is crafted from select high-quality raw cotton spun into slubby #14 threads. The fabric is knit on a vintage “Daimaruki” circular knitting machine, a technique widely used in Japan during the first half of the 20th century. This process creates a fabric that is firm yet luxuriously soft, offering unmatched comfort and durability.
The design features a woodblock-inspired graphic depicting the legendary tale of Ryuou-taro, a hero from Japanese folklore. Seeking revenge for his parents' death, Ryuou-taro cleverly used his mother's mirror to defeat the fearsome dragon Ushikubo Gunryu. This striking motif celebrates courage, ingenuity, and the rich storytelling tradition of Japanese culture.
