Junji Ito is a manga artist who has become an icon for horror, and is known for his series such as Tomie and Lovesick Dead. He has also been the subject of many anime and film adaptations. He has a wide fan base and has been popular since the late 80s. There is an abundance of Junji Ito Merchandise that can be found online, and at conventions and pop-up stores around the world.
This series has 12 episodes and covers a selection of Ito’s stories from his career. It doesn’t follow a central storyline, and instead each episode is based on a different short horror story. The stories have no connection to each other apart from the art style. The stories are well done, and some are quite shocking. It is a must-see for fans of Ito and horror in general.
One of Ito’s most famous works is the Tomie series which follows an immortal girl who drives her stricken admirers insane with her ability to clone herself into terrifying forms. She also has the ability to hypnotise her admirers by re-using their blood. The series has been adapted into multiple films and television anime series. A popular Tomie t-shirt has been created that features some of her twisted clones.
In 2021, Ito and Yohji Yamamoto collaborated to design a leather bag that featured his artwork of Tomie on jet black leather. It is the first time that Ito has drawn directly on leather. It is a limited edition and there are only two in the world.
The Japanese artist has also designed a number of other clothing items. Some of these have been produced as part of special collaborations with companies such as Crunchyroll and Viz media. Others have been made for the Tokyo Wonder Festival, a semiannual event where figures and “garage kits” are displayed and sold to collectors.
Some of Ito’s most popular shirts feature characters from his Tomie and Uzumaki manga series. These include a Tomie Pastel T-shirt, a Tomie Camo Anorak and a Tomie T-Shirt with Frankenstein Panel. Other shirts feature characters from his Gyo and Remina Star Awakens series.
CultureFly has a collection of official Junji Ito Merchandise from the Uzumaki Manga that was published in Shogakukan’s Big Comic Spirits seinen magazine in 1998-1999 and then translated into English by Viz Media. It is a 3-volume series that has inspired an animated TV series and live-action movie. There are also a number of official t-shirts available for this manga.
Other merchandise for Ito’s series include a variety of stuffed animals and figurines, posters and wall scrolls. These can be purchased at some of the bigger online retailers. There are also a few official merch items that can be found at conventions, such as the New York Comic Con. The conventions often have pop-up shops that sell these items as well as official merchandise from the anime series and movies. The Uzumaki anime has also been the inspiration for a 4-episode mini-series on Adult Swim.
