This intricate design combines a 'excellent luck' kanji on the front, with on it's left sleeve the japanese proverb 'Nokorimono ni wa fuku ga aru' which literally translated as 'There's luck in the leftovers'. This Japanese proverb comes from a line of a story in 浄瑠璃 (Jōruri), a form of traditional Japanese narrative music during the Edo period. It’s often used to cheer someone up when they have to take the last turn doing something. People also use it as a warning toward someone who is greedy and selfish, scrambling to get things for him- or herself. The proverb implies that good luck comes to those who are generous and give away their valuable possessions. The backside of the shirt features a double Yin and Yang symbol, creating an eye in the center. This symbolically reflects the Japanese values that put importance on cooperativeness and thoughtful consideration for others, creating a symbiosis of luck that unites us.
