Trivia: Why does our logo look like that?

Our logo is based on the first Japanese katakana character for “Tenkara”, which in Japanese is written: テンカラ or “Te n ka ra.” It was a nice coincidence that the “Te” looked like a “T” for tenkara.

Here’s our next shirt design, available in about 2 weeks.

    I like the shirt, the color, and the fact that the logo is on the back. I prefer to have logo’s on the back of my shirts.

      Greg, most likely shirts will be online only unless they order some.

    I like the logo and design…simple, crisp, effective. Perfect tenkarafication of a company logo.

      Craig, eventually we’ll make new colors available but we’ll start with just one model now.
