Touge Classics Tee

深夜 (shin'ya): "the dead of night."

Japanese labor law draws a line at 10 p.m.: from then until 5 a.m. counts as shin'ya, late night, and work in those hours pays extra. On mountain roads in the 1980s the same window had another use. With the trucks parked and the day trippers gone home, young drivers known as hashiriya, runners, met at the foot of a pass and ran it until the sky went gray.

A cream and black two-tone 80s hatchback with red and green stripes sits in front of a black box of big white kanji, a small red tag in one corner. The top line reads 深夜 (shin'ya), "late at night," from 深 "deep" and 夜 "night." "Touge Classics" runs above it in English.

Two-tone paint and side stripes are pure 80s, and on black cotton the cream car stands out without shouting. Wear it to a night meet or a late diner run. If it clicks, work through the rest of the mountain road tees.
