Makaku, Macaque, Macaca, Macaquo are words which refer to the English word Monkey. In 1960 the term settled in Portuguese as macaco, and by 1680 it appeared in French as macaque. Let us imagine a person by the name of Mr. Makaku. In Japanese, one can address Mr. Makaku in many ways. In Japanese Keigo, if one does not really know Mr. Makaku, one would offend Mr. Makaku by simply calling him Makaku. In Japan, to call a stranger by name without an honorific implies that you believe the stranger to be inferior in status to you, and is highly insulting. One could use the expression Makaku-shi, which is used to express respect for a professional qualification. This is a Sonkeigo expression. Hence the name, Makakushi. Makakushi was made In memory of the famous fighting monkey, Jacko Maccacco, of Westminister Pit 1800.
Brilliant blocks of color bring this vintage Japanese geisha design into the 21st century. Based on an antique Japanese woodblock, the geisha wears a kimono of scarlet, gold, violet, blue and green. We set it off center for added visual interest. This image looks great on the vivid bright colors available on redbubble, but also looks great on black or white.

Daruma is a Japanese Buddhist good luck charm. / Use fabric paint, permanent marker or acrylic paint (anything that won’t wash out) to carefully colour one eye on your Daruma-tee, then wear your shirt as you try to achieve your task, Daruma will keep his eye on you so work hard and he’ll bring you luck. / Once you achieve your goal, colour the other eye of your Daruma as a reward and thanks to Daruma and proudly wear your completed Daruma-tee to show off your accomplishment!

For all of us Japanese monster movie freaks out there. This is the kanji for “Kaiju”. This roughly translates to “mysterious creature”. Godzill,Gamera, Rodan, and all the others. When I was a kid, we always had 3 movies in a row on Sunday mornings. First was a “Tarzan” movie, then a “Charlie Chan” movie, And then came the monster movie. I was not only always amazed that Tokyo could get stomped on every week, yet be rebuilt by the next Sunday, but by the fact that every weekend the goofballs kept pissing that big lizard off. I was only 5 or 6.

Eternity / Some concepts are difficult to grasp. / Eternity is probably one of them. Since everything we can see, including our lifes themselves have an end. What will eternity really mean? And will you get bored after so many years? / The design shows an interupted circle with ‘Eternity’ in Japanese. Detail image /
So I was daydreaming about how good looking Naruto (from the manga/ anime series) is going to be when he becomes an adult and sigh… made this tee design.
/ This evil little snake shakes it rattle but for some reason can’t scare anyone. / Scotty /
