There are people who like a nice curry now and then, and then there are those who love it so much that they would dress up like it, and the 'Psychic Curry T-shirt' is for those who fall into the latter category. The newly released piece of food fashion from Japanese clothing company Tanuki is covered in a photo-realistic print of a traditional Japanese curry dish with a fleecy white breast pocket that looks like a hunk of rice.
The curry emblazoned on the Psychic Curry T-shirt is one of the most popular dishes in Japan. Most often served with potatoes, carrots, and a ball of rice, as the shirt depicts, the dish made its way west during the British colonial period in India as a result of dealings with the Japanese Emperor Meiji. In recognition of those historical roots, consumers can now wear their favorite dish with pride.
