UNIQLO and Junji Ito work in collaboration to bring the life of Uzumaki onto a series of graphic tees. The iconic horror manga artist Ita brings his captivating art onto the line of wearable pieces. The collection is led by the series' main character Kirir Goshima along with the chapter title block for the sixth chapter, which is Makigami -- this is known as 'Medusa' in English.
The new variation brings the beautifully drawn horror that Kirir faces to the tees. Another version is more minimal at the front fo the design which only reads the title in a stylized look. At the back, there is a colorful look of Kirie along with the other characters, and finished with all 19 chapter titles.
