Random Shirts in Yokohama’s Chinatown

Published by on | 4 Responses

The other day I had to go into Chinatown (Yokohama – I live in Yokohama)  to take a few photos for one of my day jobs and while I was there I snapped a few tees as well. Being Chinatown of course you can expect a few Bruce Lee and a few panda tees and that among others is what  I  saw. Anyway, I thought I would share.

This shows pandas emotions indicated by the Chinese characters of which I can read but a few.

This design, a spoof of Puma's logo was available on many many items. This photo is a hoodie.

This is of course a spoof of Lacoste. Loosely translated it means "turn me over".

I particularly like the chicken and egg t-shirt and how it makes us try to imagine what the chicken is feeling. The pink DOEM M t-shirt: M is for Masochist and the top three characters are the katakana for DO E M. Do means strong. I guess you could translate it as big time masochist. I saw an S t-shirt too.

Both of these tees, like the chicken one above I believe, are from an outfit called Gokigen FACTORY. The left one says O-Hime-sama which means princess and the one the right I am guessing is a very bad translation of In Vino Veritas - In wine is truth.

    The chicken and egg graphic is a bootleg of art by Luke Chueh (entitled “I Asked for Scrambled”). Luke created a series called “Revenge is a Dish” after coming across these bootlegs while visiting Japan. [http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=luke+chueh+revenge&FORM=HDRSC2#a] Apparently Gokiken-Factory also sells bootleg postcards of the design.
