“SOU・SOUへの道(32)”
* So far, "The road to SOU・SOU "Click here
時を同じくして「SOU・SOU足袋 EXHIBITION NEW YORK-TOKYO-KYOTO」という展覧会をやった。
地下足袋を広めるために何かイベントをやろうと思ったのだった。こういう時、誰でも思いつくのが海外での発表だろう。
未だに多くの人に言われるのが「外国に持っていったら売れますよ」というセリフだ。
当たり前だ。誰でもわかる、そんな事。
当時の僕もそう思っていたからNEW YORKでの発表にこだわったのだろう。
以前は買い付けで散々お世話になったNEW YORK。
しかし「今度は売りに行く番だ!」と思っていた。
会場はSOHOにある小さなギャラリー。
マンハッタンでの土地勘はあったので、全く不安はなかった。
ただ準備期間が少なかった。そして肝心の地下足袋も全然予定より数が上がってこなかった。
これは新規取引の高砂産業さんに対して僕の熱意が、当時そこまで伝わっていなかったんだと思う。
しかし後には引けないので、そのまま計画を進めた。
メンバーは僕とカミサン、顧客からスタッフになった清水(彼は英語が話せた)、そして「自腹きってでも行きたいです!」と言ってきたガン(僕はこういうセリフに弱い)の4名。
会場のセッティングには辻村さんも来てくださった。辻村さんは、この小さな展示会のためだけにNYに来て観光もせずとんぼ返りで日本に戻られた。
現地のギャラリースタッフは「彼はこの数時間のためだけにわざわざ日本から来たのか」と驚いていた。
セッティングもなんとか終わり、地下足袋在庫も揃わないまま展示会初日を迎えた。
一番初めのお客さんがバカデカイ足で、13インチをくれと言って来たが合うものがなかった。さすがアメリカだと思った。
そして最初に売れたのがラルフローレンのディレクターをしているというポッチャリした男性だった。彼は何日も前から「いつSOU・SOU足袋が来るんだ?」とギャラリー宛てにメールをくれていたそうだ。
その後もグラフィックデザイナー、ファッションデザイナー、モデル等が大喜びで買って行ってくれた。さすがNEW YORKだと思った。
ちなみにヒップホップのダンサー達が来た時に「君たちは踊り始めて何年経つかは知らないが、この地下足袋は日本で400年の伝統がある阿波踊りのときに履く足袋だ。とても良いものだ。」と言ったら「スゲークールダ!!」と言って、これまた大喜びで買って行ったのを憶えている。

“無名の日本人デザイナー 脇阪君”
1970年の今日発刊された新聞です。
脇阪さん26才のときです。
この出で立ちは脇阪さんのねらいだったのか?
そして、本文に「日の丸を大きく描いたリュックを背負って─」とあるが、どんなリュックだったのかな。
ともあれ、この頃に始まって今なお現役の脇阪君。
いや、脇阪さん。
脇阪さんのテキスタイルデザイナー史は、まだまだこれからも続きます。
そして、歴史に名を刻みます。
この駄話を見ている皆様は、その目撃者となります。
最後に一つお知らせを。
みやこめっせで「日本盆栽大観展」が開催されます。
日本の伝統文化である盆栽、水石が全国から集められて展示即売されるそうです。

"Finally"
Distribution started this year as well.
Next year, I decided to put it in the archive collection for the 10th anniversary, but I decided to stop that and decided to design it with the image of the future of SOU・SOU because it is more future than the past.
When Hassan comes to the time of making this, it is full of various kinds of work for some reason, so it makes it very much.
This time, he seems to have dreamed of drowning in the flood everyday. It is a straightforward dream.
By the way, I have never dreamed of such a dream.
Well, that's why I worked so hard to create Schedule Book, so I'd be happy if you could receive it and use it for something. If you like, please do.
See you tomorrow!

"Rakugo"
Every November I will go listening to Rakugo.
The venue is like a cafe at first glanceplease check here
LOL Theater where 50 guests enter.
The manager is taking pictures of customers.
The program began. The first one is Mr. Ikemaru.
I suddenly started taking pictures of customers.
Oops, I am taking this.
Looking next to the side, the manager also aims at this.
It is awkward to be burned.
The second person is a teacher of salt bream.
He said he had been to SOU・SOU several times.
Thank you very much.
Rakugo is interesting. This seems to be only in Japan.
Let's come next year.
See you tomorrow!

Where is this theater? I also want to go and visit.
Recently, I started facebook. take a look.
Http://www.facebook.com/sei...
Mr. Konishi Hello. This place is called Verdi Lolita theater and only once a year. It is a coffee shop usually operated by curry mania. I will announce you next year.
OK. Please also inform us.
By the way, does SOU・SOU not have a Facebook account? Many of the graduates of Kawashima Textile School also have Facebook accounts.
To Mr. Konishi
SOU・SOU also has a Facebook page where we update Textile designs and other things daily, so please take a look.
▼ SOU・SOU facebook page
http://www.facebook.com/SOU...
Wakabayashi
I saw it immediately, I clicked on a good one. I want to leave the Kawashima Culture Corporation in March next year. Since I joined Kawashima fabric in March 1973, I have been working for 50 years in total. I look forward to working with you.
Is it 50 years? It's a half century. I think that there were various things, but I really appreciate your work. I have a little more, but please take care of yourself. Wild forest
I received your words of encouragement warmly.
For the past 5 or 6 years, I have been receiving your dried sweets (Choukyudo) using your Wasanbon sugar, and when graduates of KTS (Kawashima Textile School) have their own exhibitions, I have given them to them in Raffia baskets that I made myself. This has also allowed me to promote your company.
I found a stubborn shop, and in the fall of 3 years ago, the staff member Asuka Ishida recommended that I use the Muslin Wool 's sleeve sleeves separately and use them Kei-i. When I came, I was asked where I bought it, and I advertise your company. A few months ago, Fukumi Shimura, a human treasure, wore his hemp Kei-i at the venue where he and his daughter Yoko were exhibited at a gallery in Gion. I was asked where the store was, and I handed you the pamphlet of your company that is always in my bag. There are still people who do not know your company.
The Muslin Wool 's Kei-i have shared are a little outside this time
It feels cold, so if you wear a Taiwanese vest woven with cotton thread underneath, it will be a little warmer. This woven fabric is woven by KTS's Dobby hand loom and hand-sewn by I. For the weaving structure, we used warp Double Weave. President Wakabayashi also touched me a while ago. It has a soft texture and is easy to wear. I made two points.
I would like to consider whether this can be mass-produced to a certain extent.
After leaving KTS, I will be free, so I hope it will be useful for your company.
I am sorry to advertise it in various places. Thank you very much. Could you please see the best again? I would like to consider it.
On the afternoon of next Tuesday (Tuesday), we are planning to get Matcha and Japanese sweets on the second floor of a bathroom. Please let me know the time convenient for you. If the circumstances of that day are not convenient, we will be happy at any time until the 7th (Friday) of that afternoon, so please reply.
I will correct some. I joined Kawashima Textile on March 16, 1963, the day after the graduation ceremony of the university. I have been working for Kawashima (Head office and KTS) for half a century.
Yesterday, I was given Long Length Omigoromo Kimono Coat for Kikoromo. I immediately put it on and went around the galleries. Everywhere I went, people said it was nice and asked me where I bought it, so I was able to promote SOU・SOU. There are still many people in the city who don't know about it.
Thank you always. SOU・SOU is not yet well known, so we will do our best!

"A Tabi Socks "
SOU・SOU'sTabi SocksHe has released 2 new patterns each month.
We create Tabi Socks using Textile designs that capture the atmosphere of Japan's four seasons and 12 months.
The sense of the season has been steadily disappearing from everyday life, so I decided to express it with these everyday items at SOU・SOU.
Some customers send their Tabi Socks mail every month, such as an annual subscription to a magazine.
That way of enjoying is also nice.
Also, starting today, the 21st Tabi Socks Transition be sold individually.
Good news for those who want to buy one pair at a time every month.
Please use it by all means.
By the way this is a December pattern.
It will be on sale from 25th.

“SOU・SOU × Marugo New Works”
SOU・SOU x Marugo Tabi ShoesThe second release of the domestic revival series was released.
It's something to say right after the release announcement, but it seems that the size of Gold Damask is already missing.
Others patterns, it seems that the stock is almost gone.
It is a great popularity preference.
It is reminiscent of former AIR MAX.
Please do not hurry if you are interested.
See you tomorrow!

I purchased Gold Damask with a crotch as Pre-order order.
I wore it when going out earlier the other day
Although it was thought that I was "failed in the beginning" to too much flashy
When I was wearing a little, my eyes got used to it and it was a very satisfying gem.
This gaudyness seems to be a little addictive
For Muslin Wool dough as a lineup
Used for Handkerchief or furoshiki
Multicolor printing with color scheme of white base
It would be great if you could make Fubi Kimono Shirt with that fabric!
However, I thought about writing a review
It has disappeared from the list of products
It was a bit disappointing that I could not write.
Excuse me for the long message.
Mr. Wakabayashi
I will put together that glossy handle when the spring weather is felt
I am looking forward to it.
It's fun to wear flashy things. Let's lean steadily. We will consider Gold Damask Muslin Wool immediately.

“Road to SOU・SOU (31)”
* So far, "The road to SOU・SOU "Click here
Even after debuting Tabi Shoes, a small miracle continued.
One day,Rib artPresident Taniguchi got a phone call from me.
When I answered the phone, it was unusual, and he said, "You're making Tabi Shoes so you can make slippers?"
He said he was looking for a craftworker who could make hand-sewn slippers at a sophisticated inns ryokan in Kyoto.
Actually I had never made it, but I just asked for a meeting.
Taniguchi got introduced to Mr. Taniguchi and the first time I saw her husband (woman) said, "I do not know who you are, but Mr. Taniguchi brought me, so it's okay Sho "was.
The slippers for whom it was desired were those of hand-sewn made of silk.
"I will try making it for the time being, so please look at it and judge it," but after leaving the Tawaraya, I did not know exactly where to make it.
On the night that night, I went home and watched TV while having rice, there was a slippers factory. Apparently it looked like a program covering the slippers' production area.
"Well, is it Yamagata being the best production place in Japan!"
The next day, Melody the Yamagata Prefecture Slipper Factory Association on the internet, called several factories, and decided to make an offer to the factory that seemed the most friendly.
It was worth it, I managed to deliver slippers from the Tawaraya store somehow.
It was nice to have Taniguchi's face muddy not painted.
After that, the owner of the Tawaraya said, "It looks like your Tabi Shoes interesting. I'll put it in my house."
It's amazing you can put it in a tawaraya store.
I thought this was a pleasure and an honor than being asked to be placed at a famous museum in a foreign country.
And the first person to buy the Tabi Shoes was Steven Spielberg, the film director who stayed at Tawaraya that day.

All the interior of this room was changed to SO-SU-U
Chair, table

First of all, lunch box
Ummay
The students

The students of this year also make good works again.
Even with the same planking, it is fun to make things different little by little every year.
This is Mr. Usui of Isemomen CottonHP"Higami Nanami" that appeared in
One thing that is hard is that I do not know appreciation
One thing that is mostly painful is because I am amenable to myself
One thing that is mostly sad is because you think only about yourself
One thing that makes me angry is because I am selfish
One thing to worry about is that you are not living hard now.
The reason that there are many rows is because you can not become naked
One thing that is often lit is because there is no action purpose
The students read it.
Since it is very good to be written, I output it so that I can see it anytime and put it on the pillar of the classroom.

It is an ordinary, Nomiki box lunch series. Do you want to eat? (Lol)
I always think that young sensibilities are good when it comes to classes at Nagoya University of Arts and Kyoto University of Arts. My daughter, who had returned home a few days ago, was looking at the page of Zokei University and said, "The design work that has not been commercialized (maybe) is interesting, isn't it?" "Kantoui Exhibition" I'd like to take a peek if I have the chance. It's a little far to Kyoto, isn't it? (It's just a blink of an eye on the Shinkansen, but...lol)
Since the scenery of the exhibition will be uploaded, please do not hesitate to comment with the daughter if it is okay.

"Japanese service"
Such video news.
As expected it is a Japanese.
I think that this award is a foreign examination criterion, but from the service point of view Japan is always the best in the world.
That's fine if people from that country or people from that country won the championship.
I think that the service of Japanese people in various fields not only restaurants, is the finest in the world.
I think that Japan wishes to export such service software, though.
By the way, UNIQLO reflected on the television that the foreign staff is educating the Japanese style of customer service hard.
In another program, MK taxi advanced to China and educated the company to the local staff.
Similarly, Japanese people in the izakaya chain (I think), YAMATO TRANSPORT also taught Japanese-style customer service in China.
Japanese style service will be an incredible business in the world ....
I think so.
See you tomorrow!

"Road to SOU · SOU (30)"
※So far"Road to SOU・SOU"Is here.
Tabi Shoes made their debut, and sales at the Tokyo store are growing, but in fact, a miracle was happening.
The Tokyo store, which had been badly entering since the opening, wanted to get customers in front of the store somehow.
As a result of Multicolored thoughts, I thought that it would be difficult for customers to enter the room with a full view of the rattle, so I put a big white goodwill on the entrance so that I could not see the inside much.
Unfortunately there was no big effect.
In the meantime, dozens of colorful Tabi Shoes that I ordered were finally in stock, so I thought of displaying the Tabi Shoes on the SO-SU-U wall in front of the entrance. Made a shelf.
The atmosphere inside the store changed completely when colorful and pop Tabi Shoes were lined up all over the wall.
Then, when I started selling Tabi Shoes, I couldn't remove the part of the goodwill stick that was hanging from the entrance, and the goodwill fell off quickly.
Then, the colorful Tabi Shoes on the wall inside the store became visible from the outside, and customers were able to come in unexpectedly.
Okabe said, "Maybe this is probably God dropped me ...". I also thought so.
From that time, the Tokyo shop escaped from the deficit and gradually increased sales, becoming a miracle shop where sales that can be taken without being affected by that Lehman shock and prolonged recession as if God protected it.
And among all the Venus Fort 's apparel shops, sales per pyeong always fought top.
The picture is a delicious face after eating sweets this monthMari CottonIto cotton (Yu).
See you tomorrow!

Aura is amazing person with wife
My wife will be shaking hands & valuable business cards
I got a sign.
(I encountered "Tanmifumi" like Teramachi Sanjo)
For "fish shelf" everyone of the staff recommended super!
So I asked on the second night.
Not suitable for the location? Quiet and calm store interior
The food is also delicious, reasonable!
I was able to spend a very fulfilling time.
Thank you very much for introducing a nice shop.
Once again within the year, somehow
I'd like to call on you.
Until then, I looked so closer to HP
I think that I will spend months of abstinence.
I am sorry to have told you about long sentences.
The grass
Did Fumi Dan get the autograph Up and Down I'm curious ... By the way, Saka of Wakisaka is the correct answer.
Thank you for your note.
Very embarrassed
It was a very sorry mistake.
By the way, to Dan fumi

"Horibuchi san (4)"
One of the big goals of this trip is this Nurarni.
Horibuchi says he is recently addicted to Indian curry.
If so, Indian curry director, whether this man should appear or notMr. ChushikuIt became a sociable curry party.
When Mr. Hoributi saw the menu, "It is not necessary to do that", Mr. Toichuki.
The story has already begun.
"I only have to leave it to me, because I prepared a special course for guests from San Francisco"
"Chushyuki-san, GOISHO" and Mr. Iida
"Mr. Horibuchi, let's leave everything to this guy this time"
(The picture of the special menu is omitted)
However, Iida says, "There is a delicious Indian curry shop in Tokyo", I will not forget to fill in a secret Indian curry note.
This is Nu, cook
Indian curry director Chujuki
Anyway admire this guy like Indian curry.
I did not have any interest in Indian curry and when I got baptized by this man curry talk, menu direction, I am gradually going mad. And it's fun.
He chooses dishes from the menu that he seems to be pleased with, thinking himself, thinking himself to make it in the chef, eating the menu (actually paying course, of course) and thinking it is a bit different, and coming next day Eat a menu of · · · such thing can be enjoyed free of charge, because I really like Indian curry and I feel like I want people to have fun.
It is not something you can do with money.
I think that any dirty industry will be saved if there are talent like this guy. Enjoy themselves, amuse others and their circles spread.
"I like" I thought that there is energy that can not be changed in any way, and at the same time it is essential for sustaining a rich life.
It would be a huge break all over the world if people like Chiki could be gathered at SOU・SOU.
