New Designs by Aya Kato!

September 30th, 2009 by Fei

A trio of new T-shirt designs by young Japanese artist Aya Kato just made their royal entrance into our online shop. The shirts hearken back to a fairy-tale like epoch, combining art nouveau and calligraphic-like line work to create fanciful and bold designs.

“Yamato,” itself an ancient word to symbolize “Japan,” depicts an ethereal interplanetary star-scape, with rock formations and pyramidical structures apparating amongst the bonsai trees and clouds. “Geisha” and “Chrysanthemum” depict luscious, magical female figures that call to mind warrior-princesses, elven deities and beyond.

    We’re not making them in girls sizes as most girls just buy the mens Smalls. They are pretty slim fitting so the mens smalls work great.

  4. Aside from being a fan of Japanese culture, I also like Aya Kato’s art. Designs like these don’t go out of style.
