Until then, skateboards were used as a tool for practicing surfing.

Just as surfers can ride rough ocean surfaces and high natural waves, skateboarders have dramatically evolved by gliding at breakneck speeds across concrete and developing a series of tricks that allow them to rocket over slopes and artificial obstacles.

Skateboarding, which can be done even in areas without a sea, quickly became a hit across the United States and the world, fusing with street culture, art, and music, especially among young people, and continued to grow.

This time, under the theme of "Connecting and Expanding," the exhibition focused on T-shirts rather than the main focus of the boards.

Many of the brands and products that anyone with even the slightest exposure to current skate culture has heard of were born in the 1980s, an era known as the golden age of skateboarding. With the vintage T-shirt boom gaining attention in recent years, we hope that by showing these precious T-shirts from that time, visitors will be able to come into contact with the culture and "connect and expand."
