Japanese T-shirt - "Lone Wolf" (Ippiki Okami)

The Japanese phrase ippiki okami (ee-PEE-KEE OH-kah-mee) literally means "lone wolf," and refers to individuals in society who refuse to become part of the larger group, instead preferring to find their own path in life and ignore society's accepted norms. Like a solitary wolf who hunts alone rather than as part of a pack, these individuals are content to live life at their own pace, which the Japanese call "going my way."
