Hobonichi A5 Cousin Cover (2025 Release) [PAMM: Thanks Sea]

The thought behind Thanks Sea

PAMM designer Masahiro Tobita provided us with some words about the Thanks Sea textile, which the techo design is based on.

———

For what joy do we live?
Success,
income,
status,
fame…
These are good things,
but when you try thinking about them in specifics,
it’s tiring.

How about “gratitude?”
You live for the joy of “gratitude.”
It’s kind of a funny sentence.

I went to the seaside the other day.
It was okay when I decided to go that morning.
I drank beer with my lunch on the edge of the water and got tipsy.
It was Sunday, but without the area being popular, I had my own personal afternoon horizon.
A hawk drew circles in the sky.
The feel in the air was one of being alone yet completely protected by something.
I came to the ocean to forget that bitter feeling.
Ah, I forgot it all, then.
Ripples.
Watching the waves swaying on my bare ankles,
I felt somewhat dazed and weepy,
and I felt “gratitude.”

I’m so busy every day that you could say I’m at war
with things that make me angry, and things that make me think.
Everyone’s busy when they hate to lose.
Success,
income,
status,
fame…
For which do you live your life desiring?
That’s fine.
Go with that.
Aim for those, with “gratitude” in between.
You should all know the cause-and-effect of those and “gratitude.”

I created this new textile design with those thoughts in mind.
“Thanks Sea.”
Remember your “gratitude” when you wear these.
“Gratitude” is joy.
Fashion is joy.
