This design is based on a recently discovered Japanese print which is rumored to have inspired Toru Iwatani’s creation of Pac-Man. The print had been in his family for generations, but had been lost in a warehouse shortly after his tragic suicide. Here we see the four oni hovering menacingly over our lone samurai hero. Iwatani used the colors of the oni and translated them to the necessarily more simple shapes of the ghosts Kimagure, Oikake, Machibuse and Otoboke (or, in America: Inky, Blinky, Pinky and Clyde) The design on the samurai’s hakama would directly inspire the maze design chosen for the game. I spent many a quarter on Iwatani's creation as a young lad, and this is my loving tribute to the game, and the man. It's for folks who dig retro arcade games, ancient japanese art, or just plain cool shirt designs!
really cool, and a cool history behind it too
Awesome awesome design. Torn between the shirt colors, as both the yellow and blue are equally great. The blue is just easier to wear, but the yellow feels right for Pac-Man. Bottom line though: MUST GET PRINTED! :D
PLEASE print this already!! I'm all ready to buy 2 of them :)
It's a made up story.
No shit Sherlock
Ouch! :(
Awesome concept. :D
This is fantastic! I think yellow looked better but blue isn't bad. Not sure if I'll buy yet but I love the design <3
lol, this is beatifully crazy! Must own it.
i think i will pass on this not my type of qwertee t shirt that i would wear :(
LOVE THIS SHIRT!!!
I just bought myself one ;)
I shall wear it with pride :D
although, I think the graphic would have really jumped out if it had been printed on a brighter blue or yellow shirt. (Like on Beastpop's Blog.)
Still awesome, though ;) :P
