Funny Japanese T-shirts

These great Wacky Kanji T-shirts I found at J-List.com. I think they are the most funny Japanese t-shirts I've ever seen! If you'll read all the teasers about t-shirts you'll see what I mean.

"Looking for a Japanese Girlfriend"

A great way to meet Japanese girls!

When we made our first "Looking for a Japanese Girlfriend" funny Japanese T-shirt back in 1997, we had no idea what a cult we were creating. Apparently there's a whole bunch of guys in the world who wouldn't mind getting attention from Japanese females in the world. Our best-selling T-shirt ever, this shirt features clear, clean text and a message that is perhaps best translated as "Now accepting applications for Japanese girlfriends." Features a nice red "rising sun of Japan" in the design. You never know what conversation this T-shirt could start, or where it might lead!

Japanese T-shirt "Baka Gaijin"

Two words a foreigner living in Japan learns pretty quickly are baka (stupid) and gaijin (foreigner).

Wacky Kanji T-shirt - In Case of Emergency,
Commit Seppuku Here

A wacky new Japanese T-shirt with a Seppuku theme!

Ancient samurai were famous for committing ritual suicide by disemboweling themelves with their swords, which was called seppuku or harakiri (two ways to read the same kanji characters). Our latest J-List T-shirt features a wacky message in this tradition, with a Japanese warrior pointing to your midsection and the message, "In case of emergency, cut here."

Japanese T-shirt - Beware of Men Peeking
(Men's standard)

A wacky Japanese T-shirt -- Beware of Men Peeking at women!

Japanese men are human, just like everyone else, and sometimes they have trouble controlling their inner urges. Here's a wacky T-shirt that warns people who see it to beware of "nozoki" -- peeping toms, who like to watch women secretly, in the bathroom and elsewhere. The text reads "Beware of Men Peeping" in clear, direct Japanese. Because the word "nozoki" is written with the hiragana writing system, it's someething that only Japanese can read or understand (it's illegible to Chinese, for example). A totally fun and wacky new design!

Japanese T-shirt "Beware of Perverts"

A wacky shirt for the hentai in you!

Men touching women in trains is a real problem in Japanese urban life, and there are actually signs in some places warning women to "beware of perverts." Here's a great T-shirt that captures this zaniness, featuring a bizarre image of a man toughing a woman on a train and a message of "Beware of Perverts" (Chikan chuui), with "Dangerous Persons are in this Area" printed below. A truly bizarre message and image that will cause confusion and funny reactions among Japanese who see it.

Japanese T-shirt "My Fuc*ing Style"
- Standard

A great kanji T-shirt from Japan featuring one of our favorite Japanese words!

Kanji is one of the most fascinating aspects of Japanese, and Westerners are often taken with the beautiful of the mysterious characters. One of our favorite words in Japanese is "ore-ryu" (oh-RAY ryoo), which literally means "my style" or "going my way," a person who does things his own way without considering what others might think. We've taken that cool Japanese concept and enshrined it on this cool kanji T-shirt, a superb embelem to show the world that you live life by your own unique rules. Because the male first person (ore, oh-RAY) has a rough edge to it, a more accurate way of translating this as "Doing things my own f**king way" or "I'm doing things my damn way, so if you don't like it, too bad." Note: because the Japanese word "ore" (oh-RAY) means is a masculine sounding word for "I" this shirt is recommended for men.

History of the American T-Shirt

- By T-ShirtKing.com

The
T-Shirt is comfortable, casual and always in style.

THE ALL AMERICAN FASHION

At
the beginning of the twentieth century, the T-Shirt quickly
became an American favorite. Now, a century later, at the
beginning of the twenty-first century, the T-Shirt remains
as popular as ever.

The
American T-Shirt began during WWI when American troops noticed
European soldiers wearing a comfortable and lightweight
cotton undershirt during the hot and humid European summer
days. Compared to the wool uniforms that the American soldiers
wore, these undershirts were cooler and more comfortable
and they quickly caught on with the Americans. Due to their
simple design, these shirts became known in the USA as "T"
shirts or, as we know them now, "T-Shirts".

By
the 1920's, "T-Shirt" had become an official word
in the American English language with it's inclusion in
Merriam-Webster's Dictionary. By W.W. II, both the Navy
and the Army had included the T-Shirt as standard issue
underwear.

Initially
pegged as an undergarment, the T-Shirt soon came in to it's
own on the big screen. John Wayne, Marlon Brando and James
Dean all shocked Americans by wearing their underwear on
national TV. In 1951, Marlon Brando shocked Americans in
his film "A Streetcar Named Desire" when his T-Shirt
was ripped off of his body revealing his naked chest.

By
1955, the T-Shirt was tolerated worn without another shirt
covering it. Then James Dean made the T-Shirt real cool
in "Rebel Without A Cause". James Dean made the
T-Shirt a contemporary symbol of rebellious youth.

In
the 60's people began to tie dye and screenprint the basic
cotton T-Shirt making it an even bigger commercial success.
Advances in printing and dying allowed more variety and
the Tank Top, Muscle Shirt, Scoop Neck, V-Neck, and many
other variations of the T-Shirt came in to fashion.

The
T-Shirt was inexpensive, in style, and could make any statement
you cared to print. The American T-Shirt came into it's
own during the late sixties and seventies. Rock and Roll
bands began to realize that they could make significant
amounts of money selling their T-Shirts. Professional
Sports caught on and soon the officially licensed T-Shirt
became hot merchandise.

During
the 80's and 90's the production of T-Shirts and the mechanics
of printing on them increased the volume and availability.
Soon the American T-Shirt was being called a commodity item
in the apparel industry.

At
the beginning of a new millennium, the t-shirt has entered
cyberspace and is now about to become even bigger. The American
T-Shirt is well built and it is made to be worn. The artwork
symbolizes the cultural and social climate of our times.
The printing is state of the art created by true craftspeople.
The T-Shirt is a great product.

Comfortable,
Casual, and Always in Style.

is proud to bring the American T-Shirt to a worldwide audience.
