Water-based ink dries quickly at normal temperatures, so it takes a lot of time compared to oil-based ink which does not dry without heat treatment. Instead, Water-based ink is eco-friendly, and first of all, the surface finish becomes tender. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51939703215_32cb37d0a4_c.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51938096817_435c649b41_c.jpg In general, printing tends to be thought as easy and good for mass production, but in actuality, that is very profound method which needs techniques and also experiences. WAJIN T-shirts are all printed by skilled artisan's hand one by one. We make print only minimum amount necessary at one time, considering printer's concentration and condition of the ink. We are always pursuing 'Today's style of Japan' which can be expressed by only silk screen printing. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51939086991_fce6e41f14_c.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51939166473_d50dc8921b_c.jpg **Design** https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51938098737_042e115daf_c.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51939359356_753abbc1e0_c.jpg WAJIN designs are all drawn by hand. We value the style of Japanese traditional culture. Everything has a 'Style' or 'Form' that is the base of themselves. We think that it is difficult to express the true nature of something ignoring this fundamental part. The thing which calms free ideas or playful mind down well, that is, inherited 'Style'. Enjoy a warm touch unique to hand drawing, and a modest color scheme featuring Japanese traditional colors, and, of course, beautiful unique Japanese designs!
