5736 - "Choju Giga" Original Aloha Shirt - Ivory

The Studio D'Artisan Choju-Giga Aloha Shirt draws its inspiration from one of the most celebrated works in Japanese visual history, the Choju-Giga picture scrolls created roughly 800 years ago and widely regarded as Japan's first manga. These ink scrolls depicted rabbits, frogs, and other animals in lively, often comical scenes that told stories entirely through image, laying the groundwork for a visual storytelling tradition that runs unbroken all the way to contemporary manga and anime. Studio D'Artisan reinterprets that source material through an original printed kasuri fabric that embeds the scroll's narrative richness into the cloth itself, then adds their own twist: look closely and you'll find the brand's iconic pig character woven into the scenes alongside the original cast. The result is a shirt that is genuinely playful without being loud, carrying centuries of cultural reference in a 100% cotton slim fit aloha silhouette with resin button opening and a chest pocket.

Fit Notes: Studio D'artisan generally has a pretty slim fit, but these aloha shirts tend to fit with a bit of a boxier body. Tommy was able to wear a 42 in this and it feels like the right fit. He normally wears a large, so this falls pretty in line with his standard sizing. We always recommend sizing up once if you don't know your Japanese size. Tommy is 5'9," 165lbs with a 41" chest.
