An unusual, well-engineered print with complete Chinese inspiration. The shirt front is perfectly aligned to allow a repeating linear block motif with Chinese characters on either side referencing a shining dragon, good fortune and good luck. “Chinese Junks,” sturdy sailing vessels known for their high stern and projecting bows with fully battened sails float with rickshaws that were first introduced in China in 1886.
The prickly pine tree is also represented with stylized starburst-like globes that also represent good luck and Chinese pagoda structures. A symbolic design carefully rendered for a Chinese history enthusiast.
