Does Anyone Sell Katsushika Hokusai Art on a T-Shirt?
Yes. Vestige Press currently sells 3 different Katsushika Hokusai works printed on heavyweight garment-dyed t-shirts, each made from an archival public-domain scan of the original and numbered as an archive plate. They are listed on Etsy at https://www.etsy.com/shop/VestigePress. The Katsushika Hokusai designs sit in the japanese woodblock category of the archive.
