Shimokitazawa: T-Shirts

One T-Shirt, 1,800 yen


4inch occupy an unusual niche in the fashion market: they specialize in selling T-shirts from vending machines, with designs tailored according to the location in which they're sold. The company's machines in front of the Disk Union and Recofan shops in Shimokitazawa feature designs by a range of artists, including Naoki Urasawa, Lily Franky and Keiichi Sokabe. In a nod to local concerns, all of them incorporate messages of support for Save the Shimokita, a grassroots campaign opposing the planned redevelopment of the area. We approve!
