If you want to think about the future, it is for the youth.
Since this is such a great initiative, I would like to see this collaboration in the future, if you are so inclined, but do you have any plans for the future?
Satoshi:It was decided while we were talking earlier (laughs). From our point of view, if we want to keep doing this, we will go to the Andes and bring alpaca hair as much as we want. I hate the one-time-only approach. It's like using disposable items. That's why it took me so long to get this far, and that's why I want to make it last.

Hori family:Satoshi moved from Denmark to Okinawa , so I like the idea of that kind of approach.
Stone bridge:Indigo dyeing, right?
Satoshi:. yes. I also think that this item is a perfect art piece, but I would like to work with them on items that are a little easier to make... for example, small items. The generation that will shape the fashion industry in the future is younger than us. The price of this cardigan, 450,000 yen, is not affordable for young people, so I would be happy if we could make something that, if this were a bottle of wine, would allow them to taste just a glass. Rather than selling a lot of products, I want young people to understand this kind of thing as soon as possible, and I want them to get into it. There are many people who can only afford fast fashion, and I am too arrogant to tell them not to buy or wear it, so I want them to start liking this kind of thing when they are young and understand its value. So I ask for your continued support for a long time (laughs).
Stone bridge:It's nice to meet you too (laughs).
It was like a public marriage proposal in front of the matchmaker, Mr. Horie (laughs).
Hori family:(Laughs) . Anyway, I myself am thinking about not ending with just this one shot. I think it would be good to eventually sell it at airports, etc. It is an item that conveys traditional crafts to the world through fashion, and although it is a bottle this time, I would like to cooperate in some way with what we are doing in the future, whether it is glasses or highballs, I don't know.
