The Arisaka Type 30 Carbine In 65x50mm Shirt brings a distinctive piece of Japanese military history into everyday casual fashion.

Arisaka Type 30 Carbine In 65x50mm Shirt – A Tribute to Meiji-Era Military History
The Type 30 Carbine In 65x50mm Shirt features a vibrant turquoise-green base with an elaborate front graphic combining historical weapon imagery and traditional Japanese-inspired artwork.
Large white “Arisaka” lettering runs vertically along the left side of the design, accented by a bold black shadow. Beside it stands an illustration of the Type 30 carbine, depicted with a reddish-brown wooden-stock appearance and detailed black outlines.
A branching cherry blossom-inspired illustration extends across the center and right side, featuring dark branches and numerous deep pink flowers. This combination creates a visual contrast between military history and Japanese floral symbolism.
Vertical Japanese characters, “三十年式騎銃“, appear along the right side, identifying the Type 30 carbine. Beneath the illustration, the words “TYPE 30 CARBINE” appear in prominent black lettering, followed by a smaller red caliber reference “IN 6.5×50MM“.
The arrangement brings together recognizable historical references and Japanese-inspired aesthetics in a graphic that stands out without requiring additional accessories.

The shirt was adopted by the Imperial Japanese Army in 1897, corresponding to the 30th year of Emperor Meiji’s reign. Developed under the direction of Arisaka Nariakira, the Type 30 family included a shorter carbine variant and used the 6.5×50mm Japanese cartridge.
The Type 30 series was part of Japan’s transition toward modern military rifles during the late nineteenth century and saw service during the Russo-Japanese War of 1904–1905. Its historical significance makes it a recognizable subject among collectors and enthusiasts of Japanese military history.
The Arisaka Type 30 Carbine Shirt references that history while incorporating floral imagery associated with Japanese artistic traditions. It offers a distinctive way to express an interest in historical firearms, military collectibles and Japanese heritage.
