What is your name?
Kashiwa Sato

Which country do you wish to represent?
Japan

What did you have in mind when creating your T-1 T-shirt design?
When I approached the theme with "Samurai", it instantly occurred to me.

What sort of places or situations will best fit your T-shirt design, do you think?
I imagine someone traveling a city in Europe, where Japan is not so much known,
and this t-shirt becoming a conversation-starter.

Has your final T-shirt design turned out the same as you initially imagined it would?
I thought it was appealing just to design the t-shirt as ŅJAPANÓ, but it would be difficult to wear it in Japan. Using gJPNh is too ordinary and boring, so I symbolized it by recombining the letters.

When you were designing your T-1 T-shirt, how did the process compare with your normal work?
Not much different.

Please give your T-shirt a name.
JPNAA
