I have a revelation that I am a curry mason.
Takano: Are you saying that you heard a heavenly voice when you were eating curry in Ethiopia?
Tsunokawa: I always liked urban legendary things. When I was at a flea market in Oimachi, the word “curry mason” suddenly came down to me. I said to a graphic designer I know, “The name “Cary Mason” just popped into my head, so make me a nice logo.
Takano: That’s amazing. I didn’t know that was possible.
Celeina: And a Cary Mason T-shirt.
Tsunokawa: It’s a parody of New York University, but it has a spoon in it.
Celeina: That’s the curry element.
Tsunokawa: I like designs that are not immediately recognizable as curry.
Takano: If you look closely, you can tell.
Celeina: Stylish.
Tsunokawa: No, no. It’s embarrassing to see curry (laughs).
Takano: I understand a little (laughs).
Celeina: So that word came down to you, and now you are doing a brand called “Curry Mason.
Tsunokawa: I was doing it out of self-satisfaction, but it spread by word of mouth, and I was invited to curry events.
Takano: So you have other activities in addition to apparel?
Tsunokawa: Yes, I do. I also make goods for curry shops. We are also making official goods for “Ethiopia.
Celeina: Wow, that’s amazing!
Tsunokawa: I also make T-shirts for curry shops that want to make T-shirts.
Celeina: With musicians, there are people who say, “If you ask that designer, you’re sure to get it done. This is the curry industry’s version of that.
Tsunokawa: I am the type of person who plays around in the curry industry.
