Japanese love their t-shirts, and designers are very happy to oblige. The choice of t-shirts is always overwhelming in Japan, but it peaks in Summer.
This Summer appears to be especially creative. We have found t-shirts sporting famous brand names, illustrations, art photography, rock stars, original graphic design, innovative English and a seemingly unlimited number of t-shirts with skulls.
Skulls are actually super hot this year as we reported last month in Skulls Galore.
Have a look at photos of 100 of this Summer’s hottest t-shirts in Japan!
