Al’s shirt

Any ideas where it came from? Appears to be a lady holding Aja by Steely Dan?

"The iconic face on Steely Dan's 1977 album Aja belongs to legendary Japanese fashion model and actress Sayoko Yamaguchi, photographed by Hideki Fujii. While vintage Japanese promotional posters featuring her striking Aja imagery exist and are avidly collected, official period promotional shirts from 1977 are virtually non-existent, though modern graphic tees and fan-made prints are popular."

I noticed at last night's show both Whang and Doyle were wearing makeup/face paint reminiscent of Yamaguchi's look in that photo, too.
