The wish gathered under the full moon for the first time in 80 years.

It was about 80 years ago that a man with a big dream opened a ranch in Yuki-cho, Saeki-ku, less than an hour's drive from Hiroshima city. It seems that there was a rich time called "Full Moon Party" where people working at the ranch and local residents interacted with each other on the night of the full moon every month. It was remarkable that the grandfather of Mr. Kubo, the founder of Sagotani Makino, held the party with his thoughts on the future of himself and the town at that time. The reason for the revival was the coverage of "YAMABON", where Mr. Yamamoto of MOUNT COFFEE introduced the wonderful people he met through coffee to customers. Then, in October 2021, a truly wonderful event, the "80th Year Full Moon Party," was held. we were fascinated the special and lovely atmosphere flowing at the event, so that we can't help talking with Mr. Kubo and Mr. Yamamoto, who are the parties concerned, and Mrs. Iwatake and Mrs. Yabuki who are involved in the production of YAMABON.

本物の松の葉と竹，南天の実やどんぐり，小さな松ぼっくりと水引で飾られたツリーは，最後はこれも日本の伝統的な風習である「とんどまつり」で地球に還っていきます．ここでは，どのように門松に変わるのか，のデモンステレーションもしていただきました．毎年年末にワークショップ形式で頒布されるカドマツリー．現代生活に手軽に取り込める伝統的な風習に対する意識をデザインしているようです．

As you can imagine from the name "Kadomatree" devised by Mr. Seiji Fujimoto of Fujimoto Product, you can enjoy both of Kadomatsu, which is a New Year's decoration of Japanese auspicious things, and a Western Christmas tree, which is familiar in Japan. At first glance, it tends to be perceived as a party joke, but it makes me think about deep themes that cannot be described simply by the word "Japanese-Western eclectic", such as inheritance of tradition, archeology, religion, and culture. It is a design that includes raising problems. The tree, which is decorated with real pine needles and bamboo, red fruits and acorns, small pine cones and Mizuhiki, will return to the earth at the "Tondo Festival" which is also a traditional Japanese custom in the end. Here, he showed us a demonstration of how to change to Kadomatsu. "Kadomatree" distributed in the form of a workshop at the end of each year. It seems that that is a design which an awareness of traditional customs that can be easily incorporated into modern life.

アーティストの富谷さんは，もともと美大で写真を専攻していて，地図に並々ならぬ関心があり地図制作会社で仕事をしたのち独立．一見よくある「イラストマップ」のようですが，かなり個人的な視点で描かれていて，そのスケールのデフォルメ感や色使いはその瞬間の感情や天気を反映させていて非常に独特です．今回は，この展示のために船を利用して東京から広島まで移動．そのルートで描かれた地図や風景のスケッチと一緒に展示されています．

そして，この展示空間となる「タメンタイギャラリー鶴見町ラボ」をあらたな拠点として構えた山本功さんに，ラボのコンセプト，今後のプロジェクトなどについてお話ししてもらいました．

Mr. Isao Yamamoto, who opened a new gallery space in an old apartment building along the Enko River near Hijiyama in Tsurumi-cho, Naka-ku, Hiroshima City as "Tamentai Gallery Tsurumi-cho Lab". I went to an exhibition called "Where is Tsurumi-cho, far from Hiroshima?" (Date:14th-21st dec. 2021) featuring Mami Tomiya, a map artist who is the opening exhibition project, and listened to the story of them.

Artist Tomiya originally majored in photography at art school, and she had an extraordinary interest in maps, and after working for a map production company, she became independent. At first glance, it looks like an "illustration map", but it is drawn from a fairly personal point of view, and the deformation and color usage of the scale is very unique because it reflects the emotions and weather at that moment. This time, she travelled from Tokyo to Hiroshima by ship for this exhibition. It is exhibited together with maps and landscape sketches drawn on that route.

We also asked Mr. Isao Yamamoto, who set up this exhibition space "Tamentai Gallery Tsurumicho Lab" as a new base, to talk about the concept of the lab and future projects.

AMBIDEXのブランドのオリジナルファブリックの残布を用いて，イベントでバッグを販売する，というのはブランドのファンにとっては魅力的に違いありません．実際，現地に入って現場を仕切っていたAMBIDEXの近藤貴士郎さんによると，残布というのは洋服をつくる上で今では大きな問題なのだそうです．社会がサスティナブルに対して問題意識を持ち始めた昨今は，ものづくり企業にとってそういった問題への態度表明は大きな問題です．さらに世界のニュースを見ると，コロナウィルスによる社会構造や消費行動の変化はアパレルのトップブランドにもこれまでとは違う価値の示し方を模索せざるを得ない状況に追い込んでいます．でも，だからこそ新しいクリエイションやソリューションが生まれるのであり，ブランドによるポップアップの地方展開や，その場所その場所でのこういったワークショップとその内容はその態度を示すいい機会でもあるのでしょう．

さらに，2+はそのワークショップにさらにゲーム性と予測不可能生を持ち込みました．参加者は家形の箱に入ったくじを引き，それによって生地の枚数や取手の数や素材が決まるというのです．どんなカバンになるのかはくじをひいてのお楽しみ，というわけです．

普段はデザイン学校でグラフィックデザインを主に担当する講師として仕事をしている覚さんは，大学でグラフィックデザインを専攻した後，洋服への興味からアパレル業界へ進み，以前はAMBIDEXで洋服を作っていた，という縁で今回のワークショップが実現したのだそうです．これまでも学校のイベントでミシンを踏む事があったそうですが，今回は久々に旧知の中とのコラボという事で，程よいプレッシャーを感じながら「仕事以外のこういった活動はある意味で自分のモチベーションを高めますね」と話してくれました．二人のお子さんのうち下の子を抱えながら接客した理絵さんは「お店の人ってほんと大変ですね」と言いながらも，「普段はデザイナーとしては直接消費者のリアクションを見ることはほぼないので，いい経験ですね」と笑いながら話してくれました．

ワークショップは予約制で行われていて，理絵さんが参加者に流れを説明し，注文をまとめ，覚さんはミシンを踏み続けます．つい，RCサクセションの「ダーリンミシン」を思い出してしまいました．その他，2+のオリジナルデザインのバッグ，オリジナルバッグの注文のサービスもあって，11月にしては珍しく20°に達する陽気の柔らかい日差しの中，参加者はみなさん笑顔で楽しそうにバッグの出来上がりを喜んでいらっしゃいました．サスティナブルというと，どこか小難しそうになりがちですが，2+のふたりにかかると，なんだか楽しいことへとすり替えられちゃったような不思議な感覚があります．ふたりがデザインしたのは，偶然を必然と思える空気そのものだったのかもしれません．

This time, Rie Hiromoto and Satoshi Toshimori, designers and art directors living in Hiroshima, have launched their first workshop. This was done when the Tokyo-based apparel brand "AMBIDEX" opened a pop-up store in Minagarten, Hiroshima City.

At the event, they sold bags using the remaining fabrics of the AMBIDEX brand original fabrics. Expressing an attitude towards today's sustainable issues is a major issue for manufacturers. That's why new creations and solutions are born, and the content of these workshops and places is a good opportunity to show thier customers that attitude. In addition, 2+ brought more gameplay and unpredictable results to the workshop. By drawing a lottery, the material and shape of the bag will change.

Satoshi, who is usually a tutor at a design school, said, "Activities other than work increase motivation in a sense." "As a designer, I rarely see consumer reactions in person, so it's a good experience," said Rie, who was servicing customers while holding her children, with a laugh.

It tends to be a little difficult to think about sustainability, but 2+ might have designed the atmosphere that customer can accept "that is a destiny/inevitable" nevertheless it occured by chance, with their smile.

A slender tower that suddenly appears at the edge of the city, at the tip of a section lined with warehouses.

From my childhood, I have been aware that I tend to be attracted to water towers, chimneys, and other shapes that extend high into the sky. I also like climbing high places. If I were allowed to climb it, such as the bell tower of a Gothic church in Europe or the lantern that sits on a huge cupola, I would climb it. It is a climber among the climbers ("climber" of this sentence means someone who come city from rural area).

So, when I discovered this tower long ago, I wanted to climb it obediently. This slenderness (it seems that there is an index called slender ratio among tower lovers. As far as you can see on the screen, 1/9, maybe about 1/10) is probably one of the most slender tower in Hiroshima. As a function, I could imagine that it would be an exhaust tower from the location and appearance. However, the memory was buried in my daily life without knowing what kind of facility it was.

In fact, this tower was the exhaust tower at the Dejima Treatment Plant in Hiroshima City, and the outlet for the air that was finally reduced to the atmosphere during the urine treatment process. To be honest, I hesitate a little when asked if I want to climb after knowing that fact. On the other hand, the brain arbitrarily thinks of his 432 avenue in New York. It's a similar slender ratio. A luxury condominium with an exhaust tower and a millionaire. I think it is strange that the images are resonated even if there is a difference between heaven and earth.
