My brother and I had a lot of history manga at home, so we felt close to history from a young age. My older brother is big, so he had a hard time finding a T-shirt that fit him and liked it, so he thought, “I’ll try making my own history T-shirt,” and started making one.

One time, when he was standing on the platform at the station wearing a T-shirt with a clay figurine design, a stranger People have asked me, “Where did you buy that haniwa?” and, while waiting in line to get into the museum, someone has spoken to me, “Is that by any chance Shimizu’s Jirocho?”

Furthermore, the response overseas was greater than expected. When the T-shirts were distributed as novelties at a local event, local people showed strong interest in the designs, which featured motifs such as national treasures of Japanese paintings and military commanders, and asked questions such as “What does this mean?” and “What kind of person is this?”, which naturally led to cultural conversation. History T-shirts became a catalyst for creating new forms of communication. –That experience by my brother is the origin of the brand “REKITEE”.

Learn history. Watch. Wear. And connect. We hope that the “REKITEE” T-shirt, which creates this new form of communication, will be a place where you can encounter the “history of your favorite idol,” bringing history closer to you and allowing you to enjoy it more freely, while feeling the joy of connecting with others.
