We asked the members S and K (often called Sasakatsu!) About the members who launched the tonkachi about the zodiac series. Looking back on 12 years from the concept of the zodiac planning, the episode I remembered now has not been talked for the first time! In the interview, M, a familiar assault rookie (not a newcomer anymore!) Was in charge.

 

12 years longThe projectFinallyI'm about to end。 Please take your feelings now!

K: 12 years! 12 years if you notice! It is like that.
S: That's true.

 

Q1 Do you remember the moment the zodiac project was born?

K: It was a normal planning meeting. I think I talked at the office.

O (I haven't called for some reason, I sit and participate): This is a time when I had to do anything because I was independent in 2012, but I had nothing to do. Yo. So I wasn't thinking forcibly.

S: I knew that Lisa originally liked the zodiac or constellation. I have talked about the zodiac, so there is a Swedish folk crafts called Dalana's horse. Various things overlap.

O: When it started, nobody wanted to conquer the zodiac sign for 12 years in a row. It's impossible to keep doing something for 12 years. Because it is forever for us at that time. It's not two years and three years. After all, it was a lot of convenience to put it out for a year without putting it out at once. Simply production system and production costs.

K: Yeah. At that time, there were some things that were a bit shiny, but now it was not made at a stretch, and it was good that the air of the times came in by making one by one.

S: The size and the detailed taste are different. It's big or big.

M: But when you have everything, it feels like one thing, and it's nice to be subside.

 

Q2Please tell me when you have a Dalana horse making. At this time, was it an exchange with a letter?

K: It was already an email at this time. The prototype arrived from Sweden by parcel.

S: When it was a horse, I wonder if there were about three types. I feel like Lisa has made an idea. Exchange with Lisa quite a bit. The prototype of Lisa's prototype and Hasamiyaki -yaki are arranged and compared from various angles. Is this buttocks different? I did many exchanges like this. Later, it was supervised with photos, but at that time, prototypes came and go many times. The first horse was especially cautious.

 

 

Q3Lisa is a Japanese zodiacWhen you have knowledge aboutI heardbut

S: I had a book about the zodiac sign. Lisa liked myths, constellations, legends, and so on. I was wearing a piece of chess of the constellations of constellations in Unique Peace.

K: You got a bull.

 

Q4At the time of Lisa's zodiac signs, like thisThere was no modern zodiac decorationAnd, ordinaryhomeAnd young peopleDecorate the zodiac figurineI guess there was no habit. At that time I was a child but I never saw it.

K: That's right. We were not very conscious at that time, but now we think it was running.

O: Yeah! Glker!

K: At that time (12 years ago), when it comes to zodiac figurines, it is crepe or wood carving. That was the mainstream.

S: There was nothing like Japanese folk art, design miscellaneous goods and interior sensations. However, Lisa's zodiac signs are fused in the zodiac signs that can be clearly understood as Nordic, and I think it was new.

 

Q5What do you think why Lisa's zodiac sign has spread so far?

K: After all, this blue design on a white background. I think the Japanese element and the Nordic elements are very good.

M: The first horse sold explosively! That's not the case.

K: That's right. It sold, but it didn't sell or tried to sell it. The next one is a big hit! It is not, but the sheep is definitely barely and cute! I decided.

O: How long does the zodiac always move?

S: It's been almost a year ago. In December, I asked Lisa to the prototype of the zodiac sign of the next year. In the case of rabbits, it was hard to do so, and after all, it was based on the original rabbit key chain. It was a polka dot pattern at first. I asked Lisa to ask Lisa and thought about the pattern, and it became a grass pattern. Then, it's a Scandinavian design at once! And the scenery with rabbits in the grass floats. amazing. You saw Lisa's power.

 

Q6Looking back at each zodiac, please let me know if there is an episode to remember.

S: I thought it was really amazing when the sheep came out. After all, amazing. Simple and perfect.


S: The rest is a mark like a windmill of "Koinotori". ah. I should have asked Lisa more why I put this pattern here. This Tenten is like a remnant of Tekura (bird pottery).
Also, "Shiritori" is also amazing. Originally, I tried to separate from my child and my parents, but I would put it in one! And a flower pattern. Congratulations! It's like. The image of everyone's "Inashi" has changed dramatically. I thought it was amazing.
After all, when Lisa makes it, it will be awkward. It's cute, this is the round.

M: I love the episode of Shishitori. Mr. S was saying this last time ...

S: That's right.That's when I first met Lisa and went to a zoo in Scansen. The park was snowingDarkness. So I was thereA wild boar has threatened us.Rogue! With that feeling. At that time, it may be because I was shooting with 110 cameras. Somehow the wild boar remained impressive.
So, if you go to the zoo again in a warm time, meet your child again! AndYou were with a few small Uribo.Wow. That boar. It was exciting.
After that, when making a boar, I talked to Lisa about this episodeI asked you to make it.
Then, instead of making another body, I snuggled up to my motherThe boar came up and it was really amazing.

K: Kusabue's cow originally had a lisa vintage cow, so I wanted to let this child hold it, so I made a good luck.

S: In the mouse, this hand looks like Lisa.
At first, I want to go around everything. (Arrange the zodiac signs around the round chair)

K: I remember that my eyes were difficult with "Oosaru". After all, every child has difficulty eyes. The impression changes at all with just a little different. This was a lot of struggle because the prototype was handwritten. "I see the tori" is also difficult to balance the iris. How far to put the irises on the outline of the eyes.
Lisa draws a picture as it is, and requires some adjustments when mass -producing. It was difficult to copy the prototype as it is.
I was quite worried about the gradation of the body pattern, and the light blue part. (Kusabue no Ushi's clover is a light blue) "Oosaru" is a monkey with a good posture, though I want to give this stoop.

M: Sure. In this way, the impression of the eyes is completely different. It's amazing that the drawing is not exactly the same, but there is a sense of unity.

S: After that, I was particular about how to paste the copper plate transfer sheet. After all, we devised so that the site that mass -produced is not difficult to do. The sheep's Juaren can have a great feeling on the chest (feeling of stretching the chest).

M: How did you wake the pattern of the transfer sheet?

S: It was quite difficult because I traced the sketch here and used it as data. Dalana's horse wanted to take a big margin, so he talked to Lisa to the details.

O: That horse was the first, so both Lisa and us and mass -produced workshops were nervous.

O: As a result, it would be nice that the zodiac sign was an annual event. I didn't intend, but it was a good cycle in a year. It became a Tora -san movie for us. Without this, the year will not be over.

S: After that, if it was a tiger, I requested that I would like to make it a pair instead of one, and I would like to talk to Lisa, considering a selfish story. The way of interacting with the zodiac has changed. Rabbit is a child, so I'm going to put a rabbit. This ended in two years due to Lisa's physical condition.

K: The only thing I put on was the dragon after that. Lisa's children also talked in various ways. But now it's a good memory.

S: The last snake was the first idea, "Cobra," but I really liked it. Does that come! I thought. Cobra may have a scene that comes out of the key point. That leads to Lisa's pottery! I thought. I want to make a cobra coming out of the key point.

K: Twelve years later. (lol)

O: At that time, when I started, I said I would do it for 12 years, but no one would do it for 12 years. With the story of "Working together even if it is 50", no one was doing it because it was eternal for 12 years. You caught it like a laughing story. But then, next and next, it would be really true. Perhaps I thought I could achieve 12 years later, right?

K: That's true. I guess it's around the tiger. Everyone was aware of it.

S: But it is not good to put pressure on Lisa too much! I mean.

O: I don't have to do it. It was a feeling. I was waiting, but I was waiting.

S: I wanted to do more. In the 13th year horse, I wanted to think about what to do. A running horse. But it can't be helped.

O: The relationship with Lisa in his later years was the work of making together because of the zodiac signs. Without this, that kind of relationship might not have continued.

S: I wanted to show it, Lisa. If you think about it now, you haven't seen it (twelve), Lisa.

O: That's good.

S: Surely, if you look at it, you'll definitely say, "I want to do this at this time."

K: "What is this"!

S: It's the usual way!

 

Q7HasamiTo make itWhy did you think? I think there was a connection with various potters at that time.

K: Because I was making cats. Lisa also liked Hasami and trusted him. I haven't made any particular requests, but the first prototype that Lisa raised was made in blue and white, so I guess I was conscious of Hasami from the beginning.

O: Lisa at that time strongly wanted to do something different from what Sweden could be made.

 

Q8About naming. I think the point of Lisa's zodiac is in the nameI'm sorryIs it decided like that?

K: You thought about the name after the prototype came from Lisa.

S: I decided to see the meaning of the zodiac, the prototype, and that.

O: I didn't get on the normal theory of the Japanese zodiac, but I tried to give something else and name it. The name is important for us, and we put what we want to say there, and that escalated.

 

Q9From here, the new 12 years will begin again, do you want to do this now or have any delusions?

O: Also, the next 12 years are forever, so it's a year and a year.

K: I wanted to do something because the chopstick rest I made this time was cute.

S: Oh, Lisa doesn't look at this (the scenery in the zodiac).

K: But when I make it, I know. (This is Lisa's name!)

S: That's right. Lisa always knows.

 

After talk

O: But it's good to do this. It was really nice to continue on the first year and one year.

S: Lisa also made the zodiac sign.

O: It will continue to be an event. For us. It's a span that people can't do their best even if they decide with their hearts alone, 12 years. It's not easy.

S: Which one liked Lisa? I didn't hear that. Good for each. Is this this? (Looking at the Kusabuei), wasn't this a mouth?

K: I lost it! The color has been fixed quite a bit. Is it light blue?

S: Well, this is a great transfer sheet. All handmade, such small parts! What is this ~~

O: There are people who have made this 12 years.

K: There is no such zodiac series.

O: When Lisa makes it, it will be elegant.

S: Even if it is so small, it represents various things.

O: At first the prototype comes out, and each one thinks a lot, but ultimately everyone likes it. Everyone is organized like that. All of these are all cute and match.

S: Which do you like Mogi?

M: I said, "Hikari's rabbit"is.My zodiac signButThe zodiac sign formed in the year of entering the tonkachiin,And Hikari -chan(Actually, the name of the baby who came to the office every day at that time)。 I was in charge of the site!

S: And the last is this snake! This is it!

K: It's super cute now. The last one is interesting.

S: It's around!

K: That's right. Everyone is cute.

O: Tena.
