HELLO!WEEN

Designed a poster for the coming halloween event 'HELLO!WEEN' in MARUIKE HOUSE.

I took charge for make whole process, such layout design, making images and typography.

The image of the illustration is 'monsters come from MARUIKE HOUSE' as the house itself is really old and some says she saw a real one..

Now I really understand why this chinese bear is loved by almost everyone.

Their pure behaviour make people naturally smile. 

old film

made a logo and illustration for my commission work but they haven't been taken this time..

Hey I will be a bow tie maker.

Currently I'm making bow tie-like brooches.
These are unisexed products and both boys and girls can put on thier breast.
It will be super lovely a couple share one tie and sometimes it become the cause of their squabble.. 'today is my turn to put it!" "No, I will go to school with it!" How lovely.
The material is mostly scrap of cloth and this is fine eco friendly products!

I love to make combination of cloths and I won't make same combination.

All products are only one in this world.

Someday I would love to make genuine English bow tie with regard to my love UK!

最近は蝶ネクタイを作っています。

女子がつけても、男子がつけても可愛いものが作りたい。

カップルが日替わりでつけたり、取り合いしたり。なんと素敵な光景。

こちらの蝶ネクタイ（風のブローチ)、ハギレで出来ています。まさにエコ。

布と布の組み合わせやサイズがそれぞれ違い、同じものは二度と作らない、というか作れない。

いつか英国紳士が付けてるような立派蝶ネクタイを作るのが夢。

tete/new studio with a small weekend shop

I and my old friends established a new design studio "tete" in Komagome, North Tokyo.
As tete, we make 100% handmade goods from accessaries to bag and etc,.
It become a small shop on every Sunday. Our studio is located in the ex-old old apartment house named "MARUIKE HOUSE" which is lately renovated as the house of studios or small shops like ours. There are a cafe with gallery space, stationary shop, record shop and etc,.
The building is in the ordinary residence area, and at first I was just wondering who comes here... but people come. I love this fact.
Some of the shops are still under construction though, we're opening as shop from 19th June. Come and see our products!


友人と、teteという作業場を兼ねた小さな雑貨店を始めました。
お店は日曜のお昼から夕方まで、6月19日より営業開始予定。
場所は東京の北、駒込。巣鴨のお隣。なぜこんなところに、、と誰しもが思うと思いますが、なかなか駒込はいいところです。
teteが入居するMARUIKE HOUSEは元ボロアパート、現在はカフェやら文房具屋さんやらが入る集合アトリエ＋ショップのようなものです。どのお店も入居者自ら改装工事を行い、手作り感たっぷりでいいかんじです。
駒込の景勝地・六義園の帰りにでも是非寄ってみてください。
