Ai Love Tokyo - T-Shirt

Show your love for Japan with a quiet wink. This tee features the trio of scripts that say “love” and “Tokyo” – 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), 東京 (Tokyo).

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.
