Edamame Obake
Over winter break my Mom and I wrote a little poem in Japanese about a cherry blossoms flying in the wind. I used the text to create a "joyful/ playful" wind sweeping away the blossoms from a cherry blossom tree. The poem is also about the birds, resting in the tree, they wonder where the wind takes the blossoms. They hope to fly with them some day. The poem wraps around the shirt and shows the birds flying along with the cherry blossoms.
I'll post the full translation to the poem, sometime soon!

P.s. 5 colors. design was hand drawn/ painted & hand written.
Yoroshiku!

at first glance i thought this was a bit whimsical and badly designed.

after looking at it on the shirt and seeing the detail i must say im love with it...

this should absolutely get printed! 5$

Ok here is the translation to the poem:

sounds much more poetic in Japanese than it does in english, the words dont match up as well. funny how so much can be lost in translation.

O Cherry blossoms, cherry blossoms
Where to will they fly?
You fly together with the wind's sweep,
I too hope to fly with you one day

O cherry blossoms,
Where will the gust of wind take you?
Let me dance with you in the wind

O cherry blossoms,
The birds too will fly with you one day
Fly with freedom, the wind will take us some place safe.




Original poem (jp version)

I like it the way it is. It's very clear that you put alot of work into this, and it looks great. The fact that you and your mother collaborated to create the poem for this makes it worth so much more. This is great! I hope it gets printed because they really deserve it.
