This shirt carries a redrawn, comic-book version of the scene: a sleeping diver with loose black hair, two octopuses in coral pink, and a dark rock ground set against a vivid lime panel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe print is credited along its lower edge to Last Gasp of San Francisco, the house that published underground comix from 1970, with a hand-lettered printing credit dated 1979. The blank is a Hanes 100% cotton tee made in USA, dating from the 1980s to 1990s. It is a rare crossover of ukiyo-e and American counterculture, and a frank one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"jp-details\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGraphic:\u003c\/strong\u003e After Hokusai, Dream of the Fisherman's Wife\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCredits:\u003c\/strong\u003e Last Gasp of San Francisco; printing credit dated 1979\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlank:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hanes, 100% cotton, made in USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1980s to 1990s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e White body; lime, coral and black print\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTagged size:\u003c\/strong\u003e XL (46-48)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShoulder:\u003c\/strong\u003e 58 cm (22.8 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChest width (flat):\u003c\/strong\u003e 58 cm (22.8 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 75 cm (29.5 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSleeve:\u003c\/strong\u003e 23 cm (9.1 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasured flat by hand; please allow a gentle margin of about 1 to 2 cm (0.5 in).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo notable marks or stains; the print colours remain strong.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNormal softness and light handling consistent with a vintage cotton tee.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition grade \u003cstrong\u003eA (excellent)\u003c\/strong\u003e on the Japanese scale; see \u003ca href=\"\/es\/blogs\/news\/japanese-condition-ranks-explained\"\u003eJapanese condition ranks, explained\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAuthenticity \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEra and credits are as presented to the Desk and as printed on the shirt.
