Item: Santastic "SARU" block letter t-shirt (Black)
Description: Tokyo Tribe, a comic here in Japan, has all of it's characters wearing Saru t-shirts. Why? Because the artist Santa Inoue, as a sideline to his comic, created a clothing company to support his love of his characters in the Tokyo Tribe universe, and wanted others in real life to live their stories. I remember one day in Central Park for Japan Day, an outing for all things Japanese, while waiting for our complimentary Udon noodles, a guy walks by and yells out "Tokyo Tribe!! Sweet t-shirt." I think this is exactly what Inoue-san wanted. This t-shirt has since been one of my favorites.
