As per a blog published by the Government of Japan’s public relations office, the fan-equipped shirts were ingeniously designed by Ichigaya Hiroshi, a former Sony engineer who currently heads his own company, Kuchofuku Co., Ltd.

In recognition of the shirts’ remarkable contributions to reducing carbon dioxide emissions and providing effective heat protection, the company was honored with the prestigious “Minister of the Environment’s Commendation for Global Warming Prevention Activity Award” in 2017.
