They are carefully designed symbols that can even be transformed into shapes. The challenge in making textiles with it is that it is something people see everywhere. Symbols, how can I turn them into an attractive form." Katsuji Ichiwakisaka "Ten Numbers" was originally a work designed by Katsuji Wakisaka for an underwear brand. Although he liked it very much, the pattern did not match the product and the fabric, and it did not cause much discussion at the time. Until the early days of SOU・SOU, Wakabayashi Takeyuki visited Wakisaka's home for the first time. When he saw this pattern, he said, "Even if there is no trademark, you can tell what brand it is just by looking at the pattern!" That is the "SOU・" that we are familiar with now. SOU Ten Numbers". Katsuji Wakisaka uses natural hand-drawn lines to give each number an irregular outline to create a unique number. Today, "SOU・SOU 十十" has become the pattern of the brand's wrapping paper and shopping bags, and has become a symbol of SOU・SOU. Smile original in 2011 "Smiling is different from laughing. Smiling contains true meaning. If you can meet a bright smile, you will be enveloped in warmth." — Katsuji Wakisaka The popular "smile" was originally a decoration casually drawn on paper by Katsuji Wakisaka! He has been hanging this paper on the wall of his studio. Although Wakabayashi Goyuki visited him many times, he had no reaction to this decoration. One day, Wakabayashi Goyuki suddenly pointed to the "smile" on the wall and said: "Mr. Wakisaka, we use this pattern to make dyeing and weaving prints!" Wakabayashi Goyuki said, "Smile" is like a third-grade elementary school student who has no feelings. , a girl whom I suddenly fell in love with when I was in primary six.
