This tee pays homage to the ancient legend which tells of a carp that becomes a golden dragon after swimming up a waterfall.  In Japanese culture, the carp is synonymous with strength of character and dedication.  In May, Children’s Day is celebrated with Koinobori carp streamers.  Koi No Takinobori means simply “carp ascending a waterfall” and means “to succeed vigorously in life”.   Everyone at Reality Glitch has a real passion for Japanese culture, language and art derived from multiple trips to this awesome country and exposure to incredible cities and countryside.  We wanted to pay homage to this and show how much we love all things Japanese by designing a range of heavily influenced tees for you. Whether you fell in love with Tokyo with its crazy lifestyle and views of Mount Fuji or are just into Japanese manga or kawaii cultures and admire Japan from afar, we think you will love this range of t-shirts. All our t-shirts are superior quality 100% organic ringspun combed cotton They are all Vegan and Fair Wear approved so you can be confident they are ethical as well as cool and comfortable We also use 100% recycled and recyclable packaging
