S.-based reader sent this Wind-Up Bird Chronicle–inspired shirt to Murakami in Japan after reading the novel. It has that sort of surprise element that makes you smile at parts, really laughed out loud on notes at certain shirts that he owned and just generally, a wholesome read, one that lets you get inside the author's mind without it being too personal nor too cocky.

Here is a reading list of non-fiction books exploring ideas that matter, including books by Margaret Atwood, Haruki Murakami, Ai Weiwei, Chelsea Manning and more.

Finished in white, the short sleeve Tee features a New Era wordmark and a Murakami flower print on the front.We went to the bathroom to try to clean my shirt, where she took out a T-shirt from her handbag and told me to take it as mine was ruined. Even if you are not a Murakami fan or never read any of his work, I believe you will be charmed by this book.

The T-shirt still reminds me of The Jazz Messengers tribute with Terence Blanchard, Bradford Marsalis, Ceder Walton and Co.
