Japanese Kanji Proverb 'Eating's my only talent' T-Shirt

Japanese Kanji Proverb 'Eating's my only talent' T-Shirt

This eye catching idiom, 'mugeitaishoku'(むげいたいしょく in hiragana script) literally means 'no talent big appetite.' This is a light, fun self deprecating expression that tells the world that your only talent is your ample appetite! This is part of my collection of shirts and such that feature idioms that are made up of four kanji characters. These 'yoji jukugo' (四字熟語) compounds are required study for Japanese children and appear on school entrance exams, as well as in the conversation of well read people. They are linguistic gems, conveying meaning compactly, colorfully, and quite often, profoundly! Using them in speech shows that you have a feel for the culture as well as the language,as they are often infused with references to such things as classical Chinese and Japanese literature and history and Buddhist precepts. Japanese people are often surprised when foreigners know such expressions and can use them in the right context. Wearing this shirt and remembering how to read it is a great way to motivate yourself to go beyond the surface level of Japanese language and culture studies and explore the nuances that make Japan so endlessly interesting! Now..... where's that all-you-can-eat sushi place everyone's been talking about?

Creator Review
The durability and quality is great. I am very pleased. The tee has met all of my expectations and my grandson loves it! i made it for a Christmas gift to give to him. Patrick plays the accordion very well! He said G-Ma I am going to wear it back to school the first day after the holidays! That really made me feel good and knowing that he really does love it! The colors did not run at all. Looks great! Looked exactly as online, but better in person.

Love all the designs from the Bad Cake Store, but this Carnie skull shirt is my Favorite! American Apparel shirt is top-notch quality! The printing on this shirt came out better than expected. The colors are vivid and really pop on the black shirt. Zazzle has not let me down yet.
