Concerning Mr. Arita

About 1 months ago, in Osaka.

This picture is a ticket that I have a print for the first time at the time of the 20-year-old.
Photograph of the boy, is a picture of Herb Ritz. I has been unauthorized use…
Since I was working to make some fake T-shirts from high school student, the concept of copyright is not may have been abnormal ;)
The boy has been beaten. But I see he is noble, as is full of hope.

This was printed for the event of high school students in the summer 1990.
I had to print the number of lots and lots.
In support to the event, Mr. Arita, assumed the print for free !
I was excited to use the professional print shop for the first time.

A few weeks later, I visited the print shop with a punky and funky design.
The typography had been cut or pasted, and had become upside down.

He said immediately.
“I do not want to print it…”
“…Lack spirit in your’s, and there is no hope to devote to high school students… Come try again !”

Noble spirit and Hope… He was trying to teach that it is such that the basis for the design for a young student as me.

About 1 months ago, I visited him first time in 25 years in Nishinari Osaka.
I did not remember him at all. I had just his telephone number…

He could not walk straight.
He greeted to me to walk hard.

He was born as a handicap, and hard work, has launched his own company.
I knew that He wanted convey noble spirit and hope to live, so he has been turned the printing press.
It is because of people like them, who have disciplined and supported me, that I have been able to continue my work for so long without wavering.

I came to see you today, it means that I will continue like you.

See you again Mr.Arita.
