On that note, an Origami crane (to me) looks distinctly Japanese, and might
look pretty cool if you could get a good image.

Nah, I think a raccoon dog would be more appropriate.
. . . or maybe a daikon. That'd be kinda neat.

I'd love to have a Ruby shirt that said "Ruby's Big in Japan", or "Ruby: It's Big in Japan". It feels like an inside joke, even though I'm pretty sure it's not a joke at all. Still, it's got references to Punk, Tom Waits, and Ruby; what else could you want?
I've made that comment, half-joking, and sometimes people will break into wild laughter, and I never really know why.

There you go! Now you have some (1..10).map action going on! The
spacing is different, unfortunately, but I did it quickly.
I also added some 10.method(:+).call(5) shirts 
M.T.
Well, I did go back and make a new design that had a Tanuki (Japanese
raccoon-dog)... so you might be looking at the new ones (I took the
panda shirt off).
M.T.
I'd wear a shirt with a big daikon on it. I love daikon

The question is, could we Photoshop that down to one color and still have it look decent?

It's probably because of the song, which is funny in and of itself.

While I can appreciate the method to proc oddness, I think expressions
that actual go some where are more fun (quickly contrived):
[7,8,-1,10].inject(""){|a,b|a+=((b+51)*2+~b[0]).chr}
[19,7,26,32].inject("") {|a,b| a+=(90+b).chr}
[0,24,9,26].inject("") { |b,c| b += (c+95).chr }
I am sure the real golfers can do better, I was just goofing around...

Good move, that. And the Tanuki really looks good.

Unfortunately, I'm pretty limited by the graphics that are already
available. Plus, I'm not so hot with the Illustrator, so I probably
wouldn't produce anything worthwhile!
But, if you design a vector Daikon for a shirt (with 1 color), then let me know!

FYI, there are some family crests featuring origami cranes.

Why couldn't the mascot be a (ruby) red panda? White bits stay white, but black bits are red. Just throwing that out there.

Just browsing for cranes, I came across this graphic
http://us.st11.yimg.com/us.st.yimg.com/I/opane_1901_46945560
which would look great on a shirt.
I think opane.com owns it.

One reason is because pandas are from Japan much like penguins are from the North Pole.
There was a brief discussion on the merits of pandas as a mascot up the thread a bit that goes into slightly more depth.
