Midnight Garage Tee

深夜車庫 (shin'ya shako): "the late-night garage."

Before a car can be registered in most of Japan, the police have to approve where it sleeps. The paper is the shako shōmeisho, the garage certificate, proof that the owner has an off-street space within about a mile and a quarter of home. Leaving a car on the street overnight is against the law, so in Tokyo the garage comes first: a slot under the house, a rented space in a lot, or a pallet in a parking tower that lifts cars out of sight.

A blue-silver coupe sits across the white front under "Midnight Garage" in heavy type, with the kanji 深夜 (shin'ya), "late at night," boxed above it like a sign over a shop door after closing time.

In Tokyo the garage comes first, and this one is for Saturday nights spent in yours with the radio on. The blue-silver coupe looks freshly washed on white, and work pants suit it as well as jeans. More of that night-shift energy runs through the graphic tee lineup.
