Japanese kanji T-shirts

Another popular customer request, here's a high-quality hooded sweatshirt (hoodie) of our wacky blackship shirt! Taken from a famous slogan of the Meiji Restoration, an exciting time in Japan's history when Japanese rallied around Emperor Meiji to create a strong, modern nation free of the influence of Western nations. A famous slogan studied by all Japanese (it even appears in James Clavell's novels about Japan), the slogan in Japanese is "sonno joi" (sohn-NOH JOH-ee). Incredibly soft and warm, this hoodie is a great 80-20% cotton polyester blend and comes in a dark brown color. Size small in stock.

We are removing this item from our lineup to make room for more designs. Get yours while supplies last! These hoodies are unisex and can be worn by both guys and girls.

Because we love bizarre messages in Japanese, we tried to think of the most esoteric one ever! During World War II, the universal word for the Allied soldiers was "kichiku beihei" which translates literally as "barbarian American soldiers" or better as "dirty American devils" (thus it corresponds to the word "Jap"). Guaranteed to get bizarre looks from Japanese co-eds on campus, this stylish shirt is very colorful, and shamelessly puts out its beautiful kanji message for all to see. Although the "bei" (rice) character refers to America, the word applied to all Allied soldiers, including the British, Australians and Canadians. 100% cotton T-shirt made and printed in the USA. This is sure to be one of the favorite T-shirts in your wardrobe. Currently available sizes are S, M, L, XL and XXL.
