Wear this to your favorite sushi dive, show the fish who they’re dealing with
Have you eaten fugu and lived tell about it —one hundred people a year don’t. A black lotto. Fugu contains the neurotoxin tetrodotoxin, 1200 times more powerful than cyanide; one fugu has enough of this poison to kill 30 adults.
If you are one of the few initiated into eating as an extreme sport, we have a commemorative t-shirt just for you. The Japanese characters say “Fugu Survivor.” The kanji for fugu translates literally as “river pig” … can’t see why.

Ægishjálmar translates to “the helm of awe.” It was never an actual helmet, but rather a powerful symbol in ancient lore. The dragon Fafnir in the Volsung saga wore the symbol while guarding his horde of gold and later, in the hands of the hero Sigurd, the glyph conferred invincibility in battle.
The interplay of symbols and the environment, beyond mere psychological association, is the arena of disciplines like Feng Shui and the intriguing research of Masaru Emoto.
Symbols are rooted in deep currents of the human mind and appear to link to larger circuits of energy —whether these are called the archetypes of Jung and the collective unconscious or the living myths of Joseph Campbell. There are several ways to creatively tap into the numinous realms of symbols; for example, the Ægishjálmar imprinted upon a t-shirt could act, in effect, as an subtle guardian, protecting you from energy vampires and negativity. Just psychological? Maybe. But there is an old saying… “it may be all in our head, but our heads are bigger than we think..”
