Surprisingly, Uniqlo’s Ghibli line has only been available in Singapore, Thailand, and Taiwan so far. Now there’s finally a Ghibli T-shirt coming to Uniqlo stores in Japan, with artwork drawn by Hayao Miyazaki no less…though not as part of a Ghibli clothing collection.
But it wasn’t until last year that Uniqlo collaborated for the first time with Studio Ghibli.
The singer-songwriter and visual artist has contributed songs to a number of anime and video game projects, including “Spinning Globe”/”Chikyugi,” the ending theme song of Ghibli co-founder Hayao Miyazaki’s latest theatrical anime, The Boy and the Heron.
The entire lineup goes on sale at Uniqlo Japan stores in mid-September, with each shirt priced at 1,990 yen (US$12.85).
