What are you exhibiting today?
Kai:I brought a store-exclusive sweatshirt parka from the "Ph" line of "Bamboo Shoot," which I have been working on with Mr. Kobayashi. And a double-named messenger bag and coin purse from "wonton tokyo" and "crank. These are the main items we created for today's event. The rest of the items are personal effects.
Did you have a lot of visitors?
Kai:Thanks to you. Not only those who stayed at the hotel, but also those who came from far away to do some shopping.
. You invited me to participate in this project, didn't you, Mr. Kobayashi?
Kai:Yes, I was invited in a refreshingly straightforward manner. Kai, on October 31, I'll be at the Suigensen no Mori. Flea market. That was about it (laughs).
. You are friends with that level of rapport, aren't you? How about this event?
Kai:I love camping and listening to music, and I often go to such events, but I thought this style was fine. The scale of the event is also very comfortable.
How do you like Camp Land in Suigen no Mori?
Kai:The showers and toilets are just so clean. That alone is the best. Also, each place has its own role. You can choose how you want to enjoy camping, such as in a wild area where you can have an open fire on the gravel, or in an area where you can spend your time elegantly on the lawn. I am impressed by Mr. Kobayashi's spirit in creating such a place , I think. I think even beginners in camping can enjoy it without hesitation.
