A 15-Screen Print Job Rooted in the '90s
The tour comes from Geeks Rule, a project run in partnership with Japanese retail company PARCO that takes cult culture, anime above all, as its subject matter. As Japanese anime news site Anime Anime reports, the project centers on the 1990s, the decade it considers the golden age of the T-shirt, and obsesses over every step of production: choosing subjects, design, print technique, and the shirt bodies themselves.
The shirts on this tour are made with multi-pass silkscreen printing, color-separated into 15 screens using the project's own separation technique and printed on a machine the announcement describes as extremely rare in Japan. The project's stated mission is to hand cultures down to future generations through T-shirts, and the tour adds a second goal on top: bringing Japan's anime culture to the wider world.
Chainsaw Man and Dandadan on Day 1, Evangelion on Day 2
The lineup covers six designs across the three series, and every city gets the same two-day split. Day 1 offers two shirts from Chainsaw Man - The Movie: Reze Arc and one Dandadan shirt featuring Okarun. Day 2 belongs entirely to Neon Genesis Evangelion, with three designs built around Rei, Asuka, and Misato.
The product names shown so far are strictly descriptive, like "CHAINSAW MAN - The Movie: Reze Arc x GEEKS RULE SILKSCREEN PRINTING T SHIRT vol.04" and the Dandadan "Okarun" shirt.
