What does shoshin mean?

Shoshin is a Zen term meaning beginner's mind: an open, eager attitude free of preconceptions. The shirt carries that idea through its kanji design.

It suits people into meditation, martial arts or Japanese culture, since the design carries a specific meaning. Check the fit and fabric details before gifting.

How should I wash it to protect the print?

Turn it inside out and wash cold, then hang or tumble low. Heat and harsh detergent are what wear down printed graphics fastest.

What can I wear it with?

It works as a casual tee with jeans, chinos or shorts, and layers under an open shirt or jacket. The graphic is the focal point, so keep the rest simple.

Does it run true to size?

Fit is not specified, so treat it as a standard casual tee and check the maker's measurements if fit matters to you.

Our take on the Shoshin - Beginner's Mind T-shirts

A graphic T-shirt built around the Japanese concept of shoshin, or beginner's mind, printed with a kanji design. It is a statement piece for people drawn to Zen and Japanese aesthetics rather than a plain basic tee. Compared with ordinary graphic tees, its appeal rests on the design and the idea behind it, not on fabric technology or a performance fit. It suits casual wear, gifts for martial arts and meditation fans, and anyone who likes a conversation-starting print.
