Kansai-Ben (Franklin) T-Shirt

Kansai-ben (関西弁) is the dialect spoken in the Kansai region of Japan. It's a bit informal and one of the most well-known dialects. The region includes Osaka, which is also known for its particular dialect. Often one character in an anime series will speak with Kansai-ben. Ben Franklin was an early statesman of the United States of America and also a well-known inventor. He is included because "Ben" sounds like the word for "dialect," and I like how he looks as a chibi character for this shirt. Japanese text is included so the pun can be more widely enjoyed. I designed this shirt because I wanted to wear one around, and I hope others will also enjoy it.
