Lettering art that adds "flavor" to everyday life.
On the hottest day in June, which recorded the hottest temperature ever recorded, "Relish" started work early in the morning to create a mural for "beer park tamachi," which will be held from July 1. First, we talk to Ayumi Kurashima, producer, to find out what kind of team they are.
Kurashima:Relish" started in earnest in the spring of 2019, and at first I was drawing at events and restaurants through referrals from acquaintances. From there, through social networking and referrals, the scope of my work has expanded more and more, and in the summer of 2007, I was invited to large music festivals and events. The number of events has decreased due to the Corona disaster, but the number of projects has increased.
Ayumu Kurashima is a producer. After leaving an advertising company in Japan , she became a barista in Melbourne. . then spent 1 year and 4 months traveling around the world, including the Amazon and Patagonia, and joined a startup in Kenya. returned to Japan in 2019, where she is currently working.

Moeko works as a staff member at LOBBY, a bar in Ikejiri-Ohashi run by &Supply, the parent company of Relish. . She worked so briskly that it was hard to believe that the day of the photo shoot was the second time she had done the mural.
Three staff members gathered to produce two sides of the event title and illustrations. The teamwork is evident in the seriousness of the conversation and the casual communication. However, it seems that they do not always work together.
Kurashima:. The number of people and the selection of people are changed depending on the scale of the mural to be produced. When we are working in a distant place, we invite local painters and artists, or ask friends to help us. We have a core group of "relish" members, but I think it is unique to us that various people can come in and out of the group. The people who help us are a part of "Relish. We are trying to be as flexible as possible. Also, we take the stance that our designs should be created together with our clients. This makes it easy for us to work with a variety of companies. Some are colorful, some are monotone, and some have a relaxed feel. That is why we also work on music festivals and solid corporate projects. There are all kinds of orders, so it's exciting every day.
Once the plywood is cured, it is time to apply the base coat of paint to the plywood. The roller rolls quickly, but if the roller is rolled too vigorously, the paint may bounce off the surface.
