"How was our work, Aki?"

When I was a child, I loved line drawings with pencil textures. Maybe for that reason, I happened to be strongly attracted to Aki's drawing and his color selections.

When I made a poster with Terroir Milano, I wanted to include something that symbolized Terroir Milano, along with the feelings I experienced there. 'Warmest love' and 'comfort' were those feelings. At the same time, I was reminded of Aki playing with the Terroir Milano stamp. I wanted to capture that.

Aki generously allowed me to see his original drawings and choose some pieces for our poster.

"How was our work, Aki?"

We asked Aki how he felt about our work using his design!

And he said,
"I was really happy because the work was so kawaii (= cute in Japanese)."
