We want to keep it affordable!
If we had a professional print job, we'd have something with that perfect, factory-made feel, but in a small shop like ours, ordering a lot is tricky. That would mean a T-shirt would cost around ¥4000, which is a bit much! Since T-shirts are everyday wear, we wanted to make sure the price was something everyone could casually buy, so we decided to print them ourselves.

The charm of handmade prints
Each T-shirt is hand-screen printed. You’ll notice that the prints have a unique, organic feel, with slight fades, smudges, and varying intensities that a machine print just can't replicate. Enjoy the rich texture and character that comes with each print!

Before you buy
Chuu, the YouTube director, carefully inspects every shirt, and anything with a "no-go" print gets removed from the lineup. However, we embrace the natural look of hand-printing, so some imperfections, like those shown in the photos, are totally okay.

Recommended washing method
The print won’t easily come off, even after washing, but strong friction during washing can cause it to fade. To prevent this, we recommend folding the T-shirt with the print facing inward and washing it in a mesh laundry bag to minimize friction and preserve the print.
