Like a river of ideas.
Mr. Matayoshi talks about clothes with sparkling eyes as if he had returned to his childhood. Unlike his conte-making and writing activities, did he have any difficulties in making clothes, which are three-dimensional objects?
When I actually tried it, I realized that creative work and making clothes are similar in the way we use our brains. When I write a novel, words that come to me unconsciously as I write often bring up images of people that I didn't know existed, and I realize that they are the same, and I am able to write the next sentence. I often found myself writing the next sentence. The feeling of having one idea lead to the next was something we shared in common.
I started in Neyagawa, and then I thought about using domestic materials to make the pajamas, thinking about my hometown, and I also thought about having a dragon protect me for a good night's sleep because I had been suffering from insomnia for a while. When I finished the project, I think that it was meant to be this way from the beginning, but it was just a series of small steps.
Looking at the pajamas, which were created by connecting keywords like individual dots that became lines and connected like a single river, one feels as if one's entire life up to this point has been packed into the pajamas. However, I wonder if he did not feel a kind of fear in stepping into the field of fashion, which is a different field for someone who professes to be a clothes lover, and making clothes. . After thinking about it slowly, he spun his words firmly.
I think it would be very scary if I thought of mass-producing my work twice a year like a fashion brand, but the concept was to make my own pajamas that I would most like to wear to sleep, so I wasn't too preoccupied. If I had made the work with the idea that I wanted it to be popular with everyone, I think I would have heard people say, "I don't want it," but I don't think that way anymore. There was a time when I almost wanted everyone to read my novels, but it is impossible to read all the novels published in the world, and everyone has their own favorite books. Of course I would be happy if they read my novels, but now I feel strongly that everyone should enjoy being surrounded by what they like.
In the case of clothes, as we get older, our body shape changes and our lifestyle changes, so I don't think we can stay in the same clothes forever. I like these pajamas so much that if you like them, please try them out.
The pajamas will be sold at events in Shimokitazawa, Tokyo , and Neyagawa, Osaka . He is very excited to be able to hold events in his hometown.
This is my first time to hold an event in Neyagawa, and I have always wanted to do something in my hometown, so I am honestly happy to be able to hold an event in Neyagawa, which gave me the opportunity to create the pajamas for this event. I am also looking forward to the fact that I cannot predict what kind of people will come to the event.
