Ai Love Japan - T-Shirt

Show your love for Japan with a quiet wink. This tee features the trio of scripts that say “love” and “Japan” – a neat play on language and typography – finished with a tasteful vintage wash for a lived-in feel from day one.

The design

The front reads: 愛 (ai – love, pronounced like the English "I"), ラブ (rabu – “love” rendered in katakana), 日本 (Nihon – Japan).

By combining kanji, katakana, and kanji again, the design nods to the richness of written Japanese while keeping the layout clean and readable. The intentionally weathered print adds a gentle fade that pairs well with denim or a light jacket, giving the shirt the calm character of an old favorite.
