Love Tee-shirt

Here's our translator Ling Hua (aka "Cat") wearing one of our "Love" tee-shirts.

This T-shirt features a love character. The calligraphy was by our master calligrapher Xing An-Ping of Beijing. The character itself is used in Chinese, Japanese Kanji, and old Korean Hanja.

We used a special process to make this shirt. We wanted a natural background that was somewhat like the xuan paper used on calligraphy artwork. We found that if we used a "discharge ink" when it was silk-screened, we would have a dark black character that would virtually never fade (since it's the color of the T-shirt itself). The character background actually bleaches out to the natural color of the cotton. We then used another screen to add the calligrapher's signature and personal stamps.
The result: You get to wear a piece of artwork.

I spent two years working on this project until I was happy with the graphics and the T-shirt's results. It's a very special shirt that I am sure you will treasure highly among your other tees.

This T-shirt was screened in the USA, just a few hundred feet from our small office in San Diego. The T-shirt was made by All-Style (a very common brand in the USA).
When you first receive the shirt, you will notice that the artwork panel area seems a bit stiff. After just one washing, this will go away, and you will only feel soft cotton on the whole front of the shirt. The only place you will feel a typical raised silk-screen area is the red signature seals.
