SAMAVSM is a yoga fashion brand named after the first letters of 7 chakras. The 7 chakras that exist within everyone are expressed in 7-coloured vivid flowers as a symbolic visual of the brand. The flowers are round shaped inspired by the meaning of chakra in Sanskrit - wheel or circle.

A new package for Uji Shimizu by Ippodo, a renowned Japanese tea brand in Kyoto is done! Uji Shimizu is green tea slightly sweetened with granulated sugar. The package was developed around the concept of "changing wardrobe" since this tea can be enjoyed both hot and iced, Visual of a half-naked moustached man is used in summer while the same man in his coat and scarf appears in winter.
You can see some hint of our first collaboration with Design Barcode, by taking a look at his moustache (you'll find a real barcode there!)

I went to the opening ceremony of Tokyo Illustrators Society Public Competition Exhibition #9 yesterday. The exhibition is open from 11 to 23 April. There were many illustration artists from the greatest domestic illustrators to the young, emerging artists. I liked some of the young illustrators' work. Those were inspiring. My work, Snowflake Men/ Groom Run was exhibited but not on the best wall.
My first solo exhibition is over. A number of snowflakes I drew since the exhibition offer have melted in the spring breeze. I have never drawn so many snowflakes in my life (and probably never will either in the future!). Fukushima, a copywriting friend of mine, described me as "an engineer who creates space through the micro world" when he saw my work. I was very touched and moved by his word.
I learned a lot of lessons through this exhibition; the distance against my own illustrations, responses of people who saw my work... At the live painting, I officially recognised that people instinctively like the act of drawing (like the act of playing music or dancing). It meant a lot to me to have been able to meet many people through illustrations. I was contacted by a friend whom I had not seen for 10 years, which was a pretty good surprise. My first solo exhibition, SNOWFLAKES taught me a great lesson. Now it's time to move on to the new spring!
