Places & Countries

The city you love, the country of your roots — in kanji.

Tokyo, Kyoto, Mount Fuji — and Japan, USA, UK. Carry a travel memory, a dream destination, or your roots in kanji: proof of a trip, or a declaration of the next one, with the fun of how each name is spelled.

See honest Japanese reactions first

Before you print, see how your phrase is likely to land in Japan—broken down by six age-and-gender groups. It surfaces not only “Cool,” “Cute,” and “LOL,” but also the honest “Hmm” and “Meh,” so you never end up with an unintentionally odd Japanese tee. As soon as you type your text, a round reaction badge appears right on the shirt in the design-page preview—tap it to open all six honest takes.

Example: reactions to “東京 (Tokyo)”

Teen girlOK

It's so normal I barely react. On a foreigner it just looks like a souvenir tee.

Woman, 30sOK

Cliché, but natural on a foreign wearer. With good design, it works.
