The student council of Omiya Commercial High School, Saitama Prefectural Board of Education, has produced a video aimed at preventing troubles related to ordering "class T-shirts" ("KuraT") for cultural festivals and similar events. Released in March of Reiwa 8, the video clearly explains key precautions from a high school student’s unique perspective, enabling students across Japan to order class T-shirts with confidence. The content was supervised by the Saitama Consumer Life Support Center.
Background and Development of the Video Production
Troubles with Class T-Shirt Orders
Many high schools encourage class unity by having all students wear matching "class T-shirts" (hereinafter "KuraT") during events such as sports days and cultural festivals. It is common for students to design their own shirts and place orders with vendors, expecting delivery before the event. However, frequent issues include shirts arriving too late or discrepancies in design and color.
Creation of the Class T-Shirt Order Troubleshooting Leaflet
Naoeko Arai, a home economics teacher at Omiya Commercial High School and a long-term trainee at the Saitama Consumer Life Support Center (Reiwa 6–7), focused on these ordering issues and created a leaflet titled "Watch Out for KuraT Ordering Troubles!!". The leaflet includes key points from vendor selection to order placement, along with a checklist for managing the ordering process. Featuring real-life case studies, it is also suitable as consumer education material and won the Excellence Award in the "Consumer Education Teaching Materials Award 2025" hosted by the Public Interest Foundation for Consumer Education Support.
Production of the Class T-Shirt Order Troubleshooting Video Series
Inspired by Ms. Arai’s leaflet, the student council of Omiya Commercial High School produced a video series titled "Class T-Shirt Order Troubleshooting Video Series: To Enjoy Cultural Festivals with Peace of Mind". The goal is to promote wider adoption of the leaflet across schools. When viewed alongside the leaflet, students can place smoother and more reliable T-shirt orders.
