I do illustrations for a shop in Japan. It's an indi business ran by one very old man. He prints the designs on articles of clothing and such.
For my recent project, he gave me an image of an illustration from an anime artbook. He told me he wants me to draw his/our original characters in the same pose, on the same couch, and he says he wants some of the articles of clothing to be the same (such as hats).
How legal is this? I am trying to change the angle a little bit, plus the style of couch to be different.
Can you get in trouble for taking someone else's pose/clothing design and applying it to your own characters? Especially if you are selling said drawing on things?

You can only if you get caught.
Example: Most Japanese artists
We as artists don't really care though unless we make much money, so it's okay most of the time.

If you make it your own and just use the pose then who cares? You cant copyright a pose

Exactly
OP if the artwork looks a little different and drawn in your own style it's okay to copy the pose/clothes
