dragon ball is one of the most popular franchises in the world. Conceived in 1984 by master Akira Toriyama, the manga is now hailed as a masterpiece that raised generations of young people. In addition to the pressure, the successful anime adaptation also contributed to the popularity of Goku's adventures, which continue to this day.

It goes without saying how big the Dragonball merchandise, which today, alongside gadgets, video games and trading cards, can be found in every corner of the planet. The figures related to Dragon Ball are particularly popular, such as the last one of Goku Kaioken, made by the artists of Temple Studio. The clothing dedicated to the franchise is also very appreciated and for this reason there are continuous collaborations with several well-known brands.

In the new collection of Dragon Ball x Public Tokyo, the manga's protagonists join the classic Japanese artworks. In @'s tweet we see three prints applied to the t-shirtsDB_official_jpand immediately catches the eye is Goku as a child flying with the cloud over the Kinto cloud Great Wave off Kanagawaa work by the master Katsushika Hokusai in the distant 1831.

The other two prints show Goku returning to Grandpa Gohan's hut in Goku style Tani Bunchoa famous artist of the early 19th century, and a portrait of Bulma with lines reminiscent of the ukiyo-e style, although the very bright colors differ from the Japanese classics of the past.

Combining classic Japanese art with Dragon Ball seems like a compelling idea on all fronts, and we'd love to see a print featuring our beloved make an appearance in the collection as well. Master Roshi.
