Chat: Uniqlo Ukiyo-e Blue T-shirts: A cool-hued reinterpretation of some of Japan’s greatest paintings SoraNews

A: Hey there! Guess what's new at Uniqlo?
B: New clothing line? What kind?

A: It's their Ukiyo-e Blue collection! They collaborated with a museum in Boston for this one.
B: Oh, cool! Is it anime or game related?

A: Nope! This time they're going traditional Japanese art. You know the woodblock print paintings from the Edo period?
B: Yeah, I think so... Hokusai and Hiroshige, right?

A: Exactly! They've made five new T-shirts inspired by those artists. And get this - they're all more blue than usual, because of Prussian blue!
B: Prussian blue? I think that was something new for the Japanese back in the day, right?

A: That's right! The artists started using it when Japan had contact with foreign traders. Anyway, there's a shirt featuring Hokusai's famous "The Great Wave off Kanagawa" and four more inspired by Hiroshige's paintings.
B: Oh wow, that sounds interesting. I might have to check it out! When can we see them?

A: They're available now online, and the prices are reasonable too - 1,990 yen each. It won't be short-sleeved weather for a while though...
B: Ah, that's a bummer! Still, I'll keep an eye out for them when it gets warmer. Thanks for telling me about it!
