UNIQLO's graphic T-shirt brand "UT" will release a collaboration collection with author Haruki Murakami, "Haruki Murakami / Murakami RADIO UT," on March 8th.
"Haruki Murakami / Murakami RADIO UT"
The collection features designs based on six of author Haruki Murakami's most famous works, as well as "Murakami RADIO," the radio show on TOKYO FM/JFN where Murakami serves as a disc jockey.
Murakami Haruki has also written a book detailing his favorite T-shirts and the stories surrounding them. This time, a rare collaboration has been realized between UT, which disseminates pop culture from around the world through T-shirts, and Haruki Murakami, who continues to captivate many people through his many classic novels and radio programs.
