Cherry Blossoms and Shorelines T-shirt

Cherry Blossoms and Shorelines – Comfort Colors 1717 Tee

Soft-washed and saturated with meaning, this Comfort Colors 1717 tee captures Jimin standing at the edge of the sea, holding a pair of worn shoes — gentle, solemn, and full of memory. Behind him, the tree from Spring Day blooms faintly with cherry blossoms, its branches subtly strung with more shoes — a haunting tribute to lives lost too soon.

The quote alongside him reads:

“It seems like the cherry blossoms are blooming.

This winter is also coming to an end.

I miss you. I miss you.”

This scene echoes the heartbreaking reality of the Sewol Ferry tragedy, where the belongings of the students — school uniforms, bags, and shoes — washed ashore for months after the ferry sank. The shoes in Jimin’s hands represent not only grief, but the weight of remembrance. His expression, calm yet aching, mirrors the grief of a generation who never stopped mourning.

But even within sorrow, the cherry blossoms bloom.

The tree — once bare — now carries signs of spring, symbolizing the tender transition from pain into healing. Jimin, known for his emotional depth and gentleness, becomes a bridge between memory and hope in this image. The design invites quiet reflection, a pause to remember, and a promise to never forget.

Part of the Spring Day Collection, this piece honors grief while holding space for healing.

Made with 100% ring-spun U.S. cotton in a relaxed fit, it offers warmth in every sense.

100% of profits from this design will be donated to the 4.16 Foundation, in remembrance of the Sewol Ferry victims and in support of their families.
