When I started making the Charity T-shirts with poco*rico, the first thing that popped into my head was "Ishiwari-Sakura".

"Ishiwari-Sakura" is a cherry tree with the trunk dividing a huge rock right in two and expanding to the sky in Morioka City, Iwate. This gigantic, 360 year-old tree, designated as a protected species in the Taisho era, has been loved by the people.
"You must see the tree!" When I visited Morioka City, my uncle and aunt living there suggested this to me. In fact, from the moment I saw it I knew the reason they were so proud and the local people said "Ishiwari-Sakura is the No.1 cherry tree in Japan!"
The tree has grown for a long, long time, expanding a narrow crack of the rock and blooming beautifully. I was overwhelmed by the full energy of it.

Since the earthquake, even though it is such a difficult time, people, especially those in the disaster area, are very efficient and patient, like "Ishiwari-Sakura" powerfully growing even in its difficult environment.

Cherry blossoms are tiny flowers. Each flower may not be glamorous. But when a number of flowers bloom together, they become beautiful and powerful symbolizing Japan and the Japanese.
The petals of cherry blossoms drawn in there t-shirts are us, loving this country.
I strongly wish that we go forward together with hope in our heart until the day "cherry blossoms" bloom beautifully again.
