Two summers ago I travelled to Japan for almost a month. I got to see a good chunk of the country in a short time span with the help of the Shinkansen bullet trains. I met awesome people and had great food. I also spent a TON of money.
This shirt came from the Pokémon Center store in Tokyo. When I saw it on the shelf I just couldn’t help myself. It is a cute design with a strange, uniquely Japanese Engrish caption. Pikachu, like Winnie the Pooh, is stuck in a tree stump. The best part is Pikachu’s face sticking out the back of the shirt.
T-shirts are extra expensive in Japan, partially because of having to import their cotton and partially because hardcore fans are willing to pay higher prices. I suppose I fall into this category.
