Haruki Murakami Unpacks His T-Shirt Collection (Published 2021)
In a new essay collection, the writer explores his relationship with the clothes acquired over a lifetime of travel.
村上T 僕の愛したTシャツたち
村上春樹の つい集まってしまったTシャツが 本になりました!       僕が人生においておこなったあらゆる投資の中で、それは間違いなく最良のものだったと言えるだろう。――「まえがき」より。 『ポパイ』連載のエッセイが一冊になりました!  ...

この本欲しいんだけど、写真メインなのでKindleで買うか迷っててそのままにしてる。
村上春樹だけは紙の文庫本で読んでるのよねえ…でもマガジンハウスだと文庫サイズでは出さないよなぁ…本屋で見かけた時、絶妙に文庫より大きくて文庫コーナーで浮いてたんだよなぁ…読みたいんだけどねぇ。

意味 〈財産· 権利· 資格など〉を得る, 獲得 [取得] する (主に高価または入手困難な物に対して用いる)

resort to A

意味 〈人が〉(ほかに方法がないため仕方なく)A〈物· 事〉に訴える, 頼る, 手を出す

Haruki Murakami has a lot of T-shirts — so many, in fact, that he no longer has space for them in his dresser and has resorted to keeping them in cardboard boxes.

Some of the shirts in the book serve as mementos of his travels and turning points in his life.

あまり服を大事にしないので(ファストファッションばかり)こういうのいいなぁと思うんだけどね…。高価じゃなくても厚めの綿Tシャツって丈夫で長く着られるから真似したいんだけどねー。

Others are mysteries, like a yellow one with the name “Tony Takitani” on it, which he found in a thrift store in Maui. (An imagined Tony Takitani appears as the protagonist in one of Mr. Murakami’s short stories.)

このエピソードは有名よね。短編「トニー滝谷」収録の文庫本後書きかな?で読んだ気がする。

apprehensive

意味  心配して, 気づかって; 恐れて; 〈表情などが〉不安げな

And there are many shirts in his collection that he’s too apprehensive to wear, especially when he doesn’t know the meaning behind them.

be accompanied by A

意味 A〈事〉を伴う

Ahead of the book’s release, which will be accompanied by a line of Murakami-themed T-shirts and accessories from Out of Print, Mr. Murakami answered some questions by email about his collection and what personal style means to him.
