A New Chapter in T-Shirt Fashion: REKITEE

On July 5th, 2025, a new T-shirt brand, REKITEE, will take the fashion world by storm, merging history with modern apparel. Founded by GUEST CULTURE, a company based in Chiyoda, Tokyo, this brand aims not only to provide stylish clothing but also to spark conversations about Japan's rich historical narratives. The inspiration for REKITEE emerged from the personal experience of the founder's brother, who used to wear historical-themed T-shirts.

The Backstory of REKITEE

Growing up surrounded by historical manga, the founder and his brother developed a deep appreciation for history. As a bigger guy, the brother often struggled to find T-shirts that fit his style. So, instead of settling for the market’s limitations, he decided to create his own history-inspired designs. These creations led to unexpected interactions, where strangers would often compliment his T-shirt designs, asking questions that ignited discussions about historical figures and events.

For instance, while wearing a T-shirt featuring the Jomon dogu, he was approached at a train station by someone asking where they could buy a similar piece. At events abroad, REKITEE's T-shirts attracted attention as well, with locals inquiring about the meanings behind the designs, showcasing a natural way for cultural exchange.

This unique interaction is the essence of what REKITEE aims to achieve—creating a platform for new conversations about Japan's legacy.

Celebrating Japanese Culture Through Apparel

With the tagline, "Wear history and explore the streets!" REKITEE seeks to engage not just history enthusiasts, but also tourists and those unfamiliar with Japan's past. The company's mission extends to providing an innovative experience for everyone to enjoy and learn about Japanese culture through T-shirts.

Rich Design Offerings

REKITEE’s collection boasts over 100 different designs, drawing from various historical periods and genres in Japanese history. Each T-shirt comes packaged like a record cover with informative explanations, reminiscent of a record store experience, allowing customers to hunt for their favorite piece.

REKITEE offers a comprehensive range of sizes—S, M, L, XL, XXL, and XXXL—ensuring there’s a perfect fit for everyone.
