Discover Empulse’s Japanese-Inspired T-Shirt Collection

Japanese-inspired tees from Empulse

Japanese pop culture has a particular visual language: kanji that carries meaning in its form, anime characters with emotional weight, food culture elevated to art, and a streetwear scene in Harajuku and Osaka that has influenced global fashion for decades. The Empulse Japanese range draws from that language and brings it to Australian streetwear.

The Japanese Graphic Tees collection covers Osaka and Tokyo-inspired designs, anime motifs, kanji prints, ramen, samurai, koi, and Kyokushin karate artwork. All on 100% cotton in a relaxed drop-shoulder unisex fit, XS to 2XL. Key pieces include:

• Osaka Soul: the energy of Osaka's Dotonbori in a clean graphic
• Koi: Japanese koi fish in a bold illustration style
• Oni: the Oni demon mask, a staple of Japanese folk art
• Ikigai: the Japanese concept of purpose, rendered in clean graphic form
• Kyokushin Storm: for the karate community

Organic cotton versions: Eco Threads

The Eco Threads range covers many of the same cultural themes on certified organic cotton. Ramen Therapy, Samurai Life, Osaka Jo, and Oni are all available on organic cotton for those who want the design with a lower-footprint fabric.
