Japanese T-shirt - Beware of Men Peeking (Men's standard)

Japanese men are human, just like everyone else, and sometimes they have trouble controlling their inner urges. Here's a wacky T-shirt that warns people who see it to beware of "nozoki" -- peeping toms, who like to watch women secretly, in the bathroom and elsewhere. The text reads "Beware of Men Peeping" in clear, direct Japanese. Because the word "nozoki" is written with the hiragana writing system, it's someething that only Japanese can read or understand (it's illegible to Chinese, for...

Japanese T-shirt - Yokozuna (Sumo parody)

While McDonald's is quite famous in Japan, the original "fast food" isn't the hamburger, but something more traditional: beef bowl, called gyudon , basically a bowl of white rice with flavored beef on top. The most famous chain of beef bowl restaurants is Yoshinoya, with over 1000 restaurants in Japan and many more in the U.S. and Asia. This new shirt is the perfect parody of this famous company's corporate mark, because we've replaced the name Yoshinoya with "Yokozuna," which is the name of...
