| Westerners are often fascinated with the aesthetic beauty and functionality of kanji, the Chinese pictographs used to communicate meaning in China and Japan. Now J-List carries wacky Japanese T-shirts that feature messages written with a calligraphy brush pen (fude pen for writing shuuji characters). This character is gaijin which means "foreigner" (or more literally "outside person"), an esoteric shirt for any non-Japanese to sport. Beside the kanji, Japanese hiragana characters illustrate the pronunciation and give a Japanese uniqueness to the design. This is the standard men's size black shirt, available in S. Please note, this shirt is being removed from our line up to make more room for new designs. Get your size while supplies last. All sales final. (SZS)

| HNK001 Japanese Custom Made Stamp ~ Square 0.5 inch Hanko |
Custom Order Item Weight: 100 g. Price: $14.00
Product type: Custom Japanese Hanko (Name Stamp)
|
|
In Japan, hanko (name stamps) are used in lieu of signing your name as the way of signifying agreement, and the culture of these stamps has always been fascinating to gaijin unfamiliar with Japanese ways. Now you can get any kanji name you want on your very own Japanese name stamp. This is a quality stamp made of wood with any custom name or message you want on it, which will be a great connection to you and Japan. This name stamp is also legally able to be used in Japan (just register it with your local city office).
You can choose between 1-6 kanji, hiragana or katakana characters, and the Japanese staff of J-List will be happy to help you choose the best character for what you want to express. This type of stamp is usually used for names, and there are multiple approaches foreigners can take when choosing a name. Here are three examples:
 |
 |
 |
| This is an example of a name in katakana, the Japanese writing system used for foreign words and names. It says "Payne." |
Kanji can be chosen based on their pronunciation, too. In this case we're using the "peh" sound from Peking ("North Capital") and the "in" sound from the Buddhist temple Byodoin near Kyoto. |
There are ways of choosing kanji based on meaning, called ateji or forcing a reading on a character. For example, "Payne" comes from the French pan (bread), the name could be written with a character (archaic in this case) for bread. |
This stamp can also be used to express your favorite character or concept, from love (ai) to sincerity (makoto) to a wacky message you'd like to create, as long as it can fit within the character limit for this stamp. After adding this item to your shopping cart you can type comments to the J-List staff and we'll verify the characters you want before finalizing the order. We also humbly request to include a pronunciation guide for all unique spelling of names.
Since the stamps are custom made by a company here in Japan, please allow 2-4 weeks for your name stamp to be made, prior to the shipping date.

| SHIRT-MIXED1 Japanese T-Shirt - I Like Mixed Bathing |
In stock in San Diego! Weight: 300 g. Price: $15.95
Product type: Japanese T-Shirt 100% Cotton (pre-shrunk)

| Many gaijin come to Japan and fall in love with onsen (OWN-sen), the famous natural hot springs that have been enjoyed by Japanese for centuries. The best hot springs are, of course, the mixed-bathing variety, called kon'yoku in Japanese, a special bath where men and women can take a bath together. Here's a great wacky kanji T-shirt that proclaims your affinity for Japan's mixed-bathing culture, featuring a kanji slogan that reads "I love mixed-bathing hot springs," with the normal "heart" shape cleverly replaced by the "onsen mark," a symbol that denotes Japanese hot springs. Printed on an attractive yellow shirt, and available in sizes S. Please note this is a close out design to make room for newer designs for the new year. Limited supplies available so get your size while you can. Sorry all sales final. (SZS)
