Family Emblem T-shirt Designed by Our Guest

Yesterday another staff member wrote an article about "Makie sticker" on cell phone.

Actually the symbol is a family emblem of Japanese famous samurai. We, all Japanese, have the family emblems. It's still used on kimono, grave, and so on. But, younger generations don't know about the emblem. Emblems are sometimes sort of important for elder people.

Oh, this is another story about the T-shirt in the following picture.

It's the original T-shirt, which you can buy in A-yado GION. A staff member, Yo make it.Yeah, I'm the Yo. Kanji are written on the T-shirt. 覇王 is one of the styles of kings. If you do something merciful as a king, you are a great king. If the period is so chaotic, and you do something unmerciful regardless it's your will or not, you could be a "覇王(Ha-ou, はおう)".

And here's the emblem. Our guest made the design. And I drew it. After checking the quality of my drawing by the guest, I used a print paper for T-shirt. Now it's on the T-shirt.

This angle is much nice. I like his design.

We are a team of a hostel in Kyoto. But, somehow this time I made a family emblem T-shirt. It could be weird. I love drawing and, of course, I love welcoming you to stay in Kyoto! We, staff, love it!!
