About Us

Family in Japan

Our journey began in 1989, when what was supposed to be a short trip to Japan turned into a lifelong love affair with the country, its people, and its culture. Learning the language has had its ups and downs, but over 35 years later, Japan is still home — and now, with the support of family and friends, we have everything we need to navigate this amazing place.

What started as a personal adventure has become a family story. With our children now part of the journey, Tokyo Tees is more committed than ever to sharing the beauty, style, and spirit of Japan with the world.

Design Inspiration

Japan's rich culture offers endless creative sparks, and we know we've only just begun to explore them. We're excited to keep creating, growing, and designing — and we're glad you're here with us on this journey.

How We Create Your Tees

Each Tokyo Tee is made-to-order after you place your order, custom printed with designs inspired by our love for Japanese culture. We work with trusted US fulfillment partners to ensure fast, reliable delivery while maintaining the authentic Japanese aesthetic that drives every design.

When you order, your tee goes into production within hours, printed on premium Comfort Colors fabric using high-quality, eco-friendly inks. This made-to-order approach means less waste, fresher products, and the assurance that your tee was crafted specifically for you.
