Mr. Nakajima
元々飲食店を経営されていた中島さんが、屋号を書道家に頼み、目の前で書き出された書道の枠を超えたアートを目の当たりにする。
その書き出された屋号は、細い筆で書かれているのに、太い筆で書いたような仕上がり。型にはまらず、二重、三重書きをして、書道というよりも、絵の様に書く。

完成した文字を自分なりに解釈すればいい。これなら自分にもできるかもしれないと、描き文字、タイポグラフィーに魅了される。
Mr. Nakajima originally owned a
restaurant and he asked one of the famous calligraphers to create signboard for
his restaurant.
restaurant and he asked one of the famous calligraphers to create signboard for
his restaurant.
He was shocked to see how
calligrapher painted his signboard. He used thin brush and stroke few times to
create thick writing. He learned that you could always think outside the box
and take calligraphy as an art form. He realized that calligraphy doesn’t
always have to keep its traditional or original way and you can take them as
paint.

始めは、自分にエールを送る気持ちで書いた作品を、自分の店にディスプレイとして飾ったのをきっかけに、自分の言葉を配信して１０年。
Mr. Nakajima started to display his
calligraphic paintings at his store. All of them had strong message that he
wants to send out to his customers to give encouragement and ambition.

文字を形として受け取り、書というよりは絵として描く。それによって、より個性的な文字を造り出すことができる。そしてペンではなく、筆を使うことにより、言葉の真意が深く伝わり、メッセージに言霊(言葉の魂)を込めやすいと語る中島さん。
He sees words as a shape and he paint
words more than he write words. When you see words as a shape, you will be able
to create unique paintings. He can adds soul and texture to his painting by
using writing brush.

自分の言葉を発信し続けるうちに、過去の偉人の言葉は、勇気づけられたり、前向きになれたりと、皆に共感できるものだと思った 。視野転換に繋がればいいなと思い、それを発信している。
After sending out his original
message for decay, he started to select famous quotes from the past. These
great quotes have some lessons that can apply to everyone and he hope that
these messages can bring in new point of view to your daily life.

create strong family bonding
両親から初めてもらうプレゼントである名前を、「誕生の喜び」と「感動の絆」の証として残せるようにと考えだされたもの。
This project started from the idea
of Mr. Nakajima wanted to capture the happiest moment to celebrate and
welcoming newborn baby to the family.

第一子が生まれた時に注文してもらい、兄弟が生まれるたびにリピーターとして戻ってきてくれて、この額を見ながら育って行く子ども達。数年後に中島さんの元に家族写真が送られてきた。元気に大きくなっていた子ども達と家族の強い絆を感じられる写真を見て、この仕事の価値、やりがいを強く実感することができた。
One day he received a picture from
the family. It was one of his repeat customers of “Naming Frame”. Parents come
back to him every time they have new baby and it was a family picture with his frame.
He was so moved how they grew up and he can feel strong family bonding and love
through picture.

将来取り組んでみたいこと
こういった経験を通して、今後はフリーマーケットやイベント会場で、実際に人に会って活動をするというスタイルに取り組んでみたいと考えている中島さん。
人との出会いを通し、より想いのこもった文字を造り出し、贈り届けることができるのではと考えている。
From these experiences, he realized
it is important to meet his customers face to face. He will be able to make
better connection and built relationship in this way. His new challenge is to
go out to local free markets or join events to perform his art in front of
them. He believes that he can pass on stronger message and create better
paintings looking through their eyes.
