A marriage of tea and art! I am interested in Baissacou , a project launched on the theme of communication.

The project "BYSAKUU" was launched under the theme of communication, bringing together two very different things: tea leaves and white T-shirts.

The name of this seemingly unfamiliar project is based on the Japanese tea café "SAKUU/CHAKUU" at JINNAN HOUSE in Tokyo, and is named with the meaning of BYSA (selling tea) + KUU (sky = spreading, open).

In the "Baissakou" series, tea leaves are visually expressed and delivered together with various artists. The first batch of tea leaves with artwork by Kosuke Kawamura is now available for purchase.

Kawamura's well-known collage technique is used to express the theme of "connecting communications that have been disjointed by the Corona disaster.

tea leavesis by Masanori Tada of Tada Tea, based in Hirakata, Osaka, and this time it is a combination (blend) inspired by Kosuke Kawamura's work "CHAOS".

And the white T.this way (direction close to the speaker or towards the speaker)The following is a list of the most common problems with the

The T-shirts were created with the same design as the tea package, with the idea that tea leaves can be picked up as a common item, like a white T-shirt, regardless of the occasion and regardless of the age.

GREEN has a design on the front , PINK has a design on the back.

This is a wonderful project that proposes a comminication connected by a cup of tea to all those who have never had tea leaves in their daily lives.

Japanese tea should be very familiar to Japanese people, but it is hard to say whether it has been passed down from generation to generation, and I believe that this initiative will make tea more familiar to the Japanese people.
