Murakami T: The T‑Shirts I Love — Haruki Murakami (Hardcover, 2021)

Murakami T: The T-Shirts I Love is a playful and intimate peek into Haruki Murakami’s wardrobe, offering fans a whimsical collection of his treasured T-shirts—ranging from band concert tees to vintage bookstore swag. Each shirt is paired with a short, evocative essay that reveals Murakami’s offbeat passions—like singing along to Guinness-fueled evenings in Ireland, savoring U.S. burgers upon arrival, or reminiscing about Hawaiian surf vibes.

This volume blends vivid photography with reflective memoir writing, giving readers a gentle “show-and-tell” experience that feels like stepping into the writer’s personal closet. Booklist praises Murakami’s “charming, utterly self-effacing eccentricity,” while Publishers Weekly and The Atlantic celebrate the book as both endearing and revealing. A must-have for long-time fans and the curious alike.
