But \u201cT-Shirt Girl,\u201d a model based on a drawing by one of my favorite Japanese artists that hangs on my wall, was too good to pass up.

So I\u2019m walking past a children\u2019s clothing store on my way home from the grocery store when I spotted the t-shirt pictured below. The thought of a Japanese child wearing this made me laugh out loud. Interestingly, the t-shirt was gone the next time I passed the store. I wonder if a clerk saw me laughing and taking the picture. Or if someone actually bought it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
