The vernal equinox of 2024 has passed.
This is Sakemaru.
The vernal equinox is the day when day and night are of equal length.
In other words,
From now until the summer solstice the days will continue to get longer.
The longer the daylight hours,
I feel like my body is in good condition.
Vitamin D is produced in the body through exposure to sunlight,
I guess it's because it boosts your immune system. 
Most of the winter vegetable harvest is already over...
To produce vitamin D in the body,
The field was plowed in one go. 
I want to praise myself for a job well done!
I'm already drenched in sweat and have finished preparing the summer vegetables .
The next day, I was sore from muscle pain that I wasted the whole day (tears)
So, that’s why…
Introducing this before the upcoming sweaty season begins!
First time I made it...
Original textile design bandana.
First up, the argyle pattern! 
Draw a continuous argyle pattern around all four sides,
Argyle patterns are expressed in diamonds and dots on the four corners.
And there are tiny argyle patterns flying towards the center...
I drew the brand logo right in the center.
As you all know,
The original source is this argyle shirt. 
The best rock and roll argyle shirt in the world!
This pattern,
How many vintage items have you acquired in the past?
How much did you sell?
In the past, we have recreated all kinds of shapes.
It has also been mass-produced in a variety of color schemes.
As a result, a huge amount of textile blocks remain.
I made good use of that. 
The original vintage argyle uses the base color plus three other colors.
When it comes to bandanas, it is economical to use up to two colors in addition to the base color.
I had a bit of trouble figuring out the color scheme (lol)
Moreover…
The painting on olive drab and khaki backgrounds is
Must be the first time.
Fresh in many ways!
The other pattern is a TIKI pattern! 
The original story is,
You may be familiar with this corduroy print shirt. 
The TIKI pattern on the chest surrounds it on all sides.
And the tiki mugs with the four corners are
This is the original story. 
I drew this Hawaiian shirt in the 2000s.
Repurpose tiki mug patterns!
The center piece borrows a 1950s tiki bar book match pattern.
Let's take a closer look at bandanas again.
The bandana was originally
It is designed to wipe away sweat and protect from dust.
It is basically a square (actually a bit of a rectangle),
The thin cotton fabric is shaped so that you can take two pieces.
The exact dimensions are 23 inches (58.5 mm) x 22 inches (53.3 mm).
At that time, it was called discharge printing.
After base dyeing, the pattern part is discharged.
Then another color was printed on it to create a total of three colors.
This way the piece will look the same whether viewed from the front or back .
However.
In today's Japan, the solvents used in discharge printing are designated as pollution.
This can only be done in large, approved factories.
that's why…
While looking exactly the same as discharge printing,
Dyeing with highly advanced techniques
We dye the hair using a technique called "tweezers matching."
The most famous of these methods is
Large movie poster.
Back and front,
A reversed version of the same design is placed in the center of the fabric and fitted together perfectly.
By doing so,
The pattern is printed so that it appears the same whether viewed from the front or back.
Large movie posters are often pasted on windows,
It is designed so that the pattern remains visible even when light shines in.
The person who brought this technique to life in fabric,
A god-like genius!
that's why…
This bandana has the "Eye of God" inscribed on it. 
"The eye of all things" along with the description FAST COLOR ALL COTTON.
The emblem is called ALL SEEING EYE.
It's also a pun on "ALL."
Also, a bandana is a large square piece of fabric, so...
It has also served as an advertising medium.
Not to mention the workwear brand logo,
The names of tourist spots are written on it,
It has also been used in politicians' commercials and to demonstrate national pride.
Florida, etc.
Roosevelt,
Or the US Navy.
So in the center there is the unobtrusive "DRY BONES".
Please feel free to use it as a souvenir .
Now.
I run a farm called "Shinmei Farm" in my hometown of Tateyama, which manufactures agricultural processed products.
Up until now, we have been producing Nikki leaf tea.
It's enjoyed by a wide variety of people.
And as the second installment…
We have started Dry Laurel! 
They are already on display at the local roadside station "Green Farm" in Tateyama! 
Laurel is the English name for bay leaves.
By the way, in French it's called laurel.
that's why… 
Around it is a laurel wreath,
The silhouette in the center depicts the old Nissan Laurel (the back of the car, commonly known as the Pig-Butt Laurel!). 
The Laurel DRY font is also almost a complete rip-off. 
Their style is kind of like Dry Bones lol
