Shakoki Dogu T-Shirt | Jomon Clay Figurine Design | Japanese Archaeology Art

About This Product

An original T-shirt by Hasegawa Shizen Kobo featuring the iconic “Shakoki Dogu” excavated from the Kamegaoka Site in Tsugaru City, Aomori Prefecture.

The Shakoki Dogu is one of the most representative clay figurines from the Final Jomon period. Its name comes from its unusually large eyes, which resemble traditional snow goggles once used in snowy regions.

One of the best-known Shakoki Dogu figures excavated from the Kamegaoka Site was discovered in 1887 (Meiji 20) and is now exhibited at the Tokyo National Museum.

Its distinctive large eyes, rounded body, intricate patterns, and unique proportions give it a remarkably creative appearance that feels surprisingly modern despite having been made thousands of years ago.

This T-shirt is recommended not only for people interested in Jomon culture, archaeology, and Japanese history, but also for those who enjoy distinctive and unconventional Japanese cultural designs.

About the Design

The front of the shirt features a large image inspired by the distinctive form of the Shakoki Dogu.

The design highlights its oversized eyes, intricate decorative patterns, and characteristic proportions, allowing you to enjoy the unique sculptural beauty of this ancient clay figure.

Rather than presenting it simply as an archaeological artifact, the design was created with the idea of appreciating the Shakoki Dogu as a work of art created by the people of the Jomon period.

It also makes a great gift for anyone who enjoys museums, archaeological sites, historical exploration, or Jomon culture.
