T-shirt | [Tokyo] Cityscape TOKYO_45

Artwork by Tomoyuki Takahashi, a printmaker based in Tokyo. __TOKYO-45__ __A Certain Tokyo Scene__ "Dots up close, a photograph from afar" This T-shirt is hand-printed using silk screen techniques, with halftone processing applied to streetscape photographs taken by the artist. A visual trick is incorporated: from up close, it appears as a collection of solid "dots," but from a distance, a cityscape emerges. In a simple composition of a white body with black ink, we have fused the beauty of digital calculation (halftones) with the warmth of handcraftsmanship (hand printing). Each piece is adorned with a signature hashtag signifying its place identity, allowing you to wear the city's scenery not just as a record, but as a "memory"—this is a Plusmaru® original. *As production is by hand after receiving your order, please allow some time for delivery. *The name tag printed on the inside of the collar may show through slightly on the photographic print side. *As production is by hand after receiving your order, please allow some time for delivery. *The name tag printed on the inside of the collar may show through slightly on the photographic print side. **[Model Wearing]** Size: XL Height: 183cm **[Specifications]** ◇Fabric 100% Cotton, 7.4 oz super heavy-duty fabric ◇Print Area Back: 52cm x 36cm (Photograph: Black) Front: 8cm x 5cm (Barcode Logo: Blue) ◇Product Number: TOKYO-45 ◇Hashtag: #tokyo ◆About Halftone Processing A printing technique that expresses shades and gradients in an image by varying the "size and density of dots" using single-color ink. It creates a visual effect where it appears as just a collection of dots up close, but resolves into a single cityscape photograph when viewed from a distance. **Tomoyuki Takahashi | Printmaker** Born in Ibaraki Prefecture in 1986, currently resides in Tokyo. After diverse experiences in fashion and design, he independently established his silk screen techniques. Based on streetscape photographs he has taken, he creates works such as posters and T-shirts that express urban landscapes not merely as records but as "memories," by fusing the calculated aesthetics of digital halftones with the tactile quality of analog printmaking. These are developed under the Plusmaru® brand.
