T-Shirt | [Tokyo] Cityscape TOKYO_17

Artwork by Tomoyuki Takahashi, a printmaker based in Tokyo. __TOKYO-17__ __A Certain Underground Bicycle Parking Lot in Tokyo__ "Dots up close, a photograph from afar." This T-shirt is handmade using silk screen techniques, with halftone processing applied to streetscape photos taken by the artist himself. A visual trick is incorporated: up close, it appears as a collection of solid "dots," but from a distance, the landscape materializes. This design fuses the beauty of digital calculation (halftones) with the warmth of handmade craftsmanship (hand-printing) in a simple composition of a white body and black ink. Each piece from Plusmaru® features a signature hashtag indicating the location's identity, allowing you to wear the cityscape not just as a record, but as a "memory." *Please note that as each item is handmade after an order is placed, delivery may take some time. *The name tag printed on the inside of the collar may slightly show through the photo print. **[Model Wearing]** Size: XL Height: 183cm **[Specifications]** ◇Fabric 100% Cotton, 7.4 oz Super Heavyweight Fabric ◇Print Area Back: 52cm x 36cm (Photo Area: Black) Front: 8cm x 5cm (Barcode Logo: Blue) ◇Product Number: TOKYO-17 ◇Hashtag: #tokyo ◆What is Halftone Processing? A printing technique that expresses shades and gradations in an image by varying the "size and density of dots" using monochrome ink. It creates a visual effect where, though appearing as a mere collection of dots up close, it transforms into a single landscape photograph when viewed from a distance. **Tomoyuki Takahashi | Printmaker** Born in Ibaraki Prefecture in 1986, currently residing in Tokyo. After diverse experiences in apparel and various design fields, he established his silk screen techniques through self-study. Based on streetscape photos he takes himself, he combines the calculated aesthetics of digital halftones with the tactile feel of analog printmaking. Through this unique method, he expresses cityscapes not merely as records but as "memories" in his works, including posters and T-shirts, offered by Plusmaru®.
