2023年啓蟄の酒丸。

Sakemaru in the year of the awakening of insects 2023.


This is Sakemaru on a Friday after the Awakening of Insects of 2023.
As expected, the awakening of insects is according to the calendar...
A swarm of bees attacks the cherry blossoms in the garden.

The incredible sound of wings made me feel the arrival of spring.
Around your house,
Did the insects suddenly appear?

In the midst of all this,
First of all, I would like to apologize and announce something to everyone.
A printed shirt series planned for this spring/summer.
First off, this is Mexican.

Blue-gray ground and…

Yellow green background.
The delivery of the fabric was very late...
Currently in the process of cutting and sewing.
Please wait for a while.

And here is the problem, the spider web pattern.

Dark green background (sorry the color didn't come out well) and...

Black background.
The delivery date for the fabric was also delayed...
Furthermore, some printing errors were discovered.
I thought about it a lot, but...
Since short-sleeved shirts are only worn for a short period of time, we cannot delay the delivery date.
that's why…
I quickly cut and sewed the short sleeves first,
For long sleeves, we have rescheduled the delivery date to coincide with the start of autumn season .
Dear customers who have made a reservation,
Sorry (sweat)
Because I want to make good things
I am re-printing it (LOL)
Please contact the person in charge for details.


And today's blog is...
Here's a slightly different angle from the usual product introductions.

Today is March 10th.
Needless to say...the day before 3/11.
Yes, it has been 12 years since the Great East Japan Earthquake.

During that time, earthquakes occurred all over Japan.
Each time, houses collapsed and many people were affected.
It hurts my heart.

And just the other day, there was a massive earthquake in Türkiye.
Apparently a large active fault moved sideways as much as 9 kilometers.

Buildings and stone houses collapsed,
There were huge casualties.

This is not just about relief efforts in Türkiye...
When rescuing someone trapped under a collapsed building,
The most important thing seems to be the "sound from below."
Even if you get crushed,
If you can make a sound, there's a good chance the rescue team will notice you.
However…
After the collapse, many people rushed to help,
There are a lot of media helicopters,
Apparently the voices of people buried inside are often drowned out...
As a result, the bodies of those who "should have been alive just a few hours ago"
Apparently there are many cases where digging is necessary.

Also, if you are crushed,
It seems that in many cases, people are able to breathe but are unable to speak.
The important question here is "how to make a sound to let people know."

So I would like to recommend this to everyone.

Whistle keychain.
This way, if you hold it in your mouth when you exhale, sound will come out!

Actually, I'm a bit of a coward, so I did this during the winter.

It's been cold this winter, so I've been wearing the Kuma jacket a lot.
A whistle was hanging from the buttonhole of the bear jacket.
If this,
Even if you are crushed under a collapsed building,
It's close to your mouth so you can make it ring right away!


In fact, this whistle is dead stock made in Japan .
Only a few dozen have been found.

After the Great East Japan Earthquake,
I went to Shiogama in Miyagi Prefecture to help with the reconstruction efforts.
It took about three days to clear away several tons of rubble, but...
I was so scared to think that there might be people under that rubble.
Since then, I've been secretly hoping to make something like this.
I never thought I'd find dead stock .
I can only think that it was God's guidance.

that's why,
To make it look cool , the key ring part is made of solid brass flat double rings .
Vintage feel, perfect!

There are only a few dozen,
It may only save a few dozen lives.
But I think there’s value in sending this message.

Among the thousands of items in the store, this life-saving product stands out.
But it's a product that I have a lot of attachment to.
This is the only time I can actively promote myself,
Please take this opportunity.
In the sense of "deadstock portable instruments,"
Rare Item.


The day after the awakening of insects was a full moon.
I went to work at the Tokyo headquarters from the morning.
While I was running various errands in Tokyo,
By the time I got home to Tateyama, it was already dark...

But then I realized it was strangely bright.

A full moon so bright that it drowns out the twinkle of the surrounding stars.
It was amazing.
Maybe it's okay to come home late sometimes.
see you.
