PLACER, a plant studio that conveys the diversity and ecological charm of orchids through its unique methods. Yoichiro Uchida, the representative, who also provides numerous artworks to apparel brands, designed a message T-shirt. What are the thoughts behind it?

Yoichiro Uchida, representative of PLACER, is known for his artworks called "doodles," where he expresses his inner landscapes through words, while handling diverse orchids. The numerous phrases woven by bold yet delicate typography consistently reflect his wish for "peace."

The T-shirts recently released under his own label are similar. He designed them to increase opportunities to confront the issue of "hate crimes" against Asian residents, which have been increasing in the United States in recent years.

The photographs are by photographer/artist E-WAX, who is also known for his past activities in New York.

The "AH PA" model features the photograph on the front and the message "It is never too late to give up our prejudices." on the back in Uchida's graffiti. The "AH PB" model has a hand-drawn peace sign on the front and the photograph on the back.

Available in four sizes, M to XXL. This initiative highlights the T-shirt as a medium.
