Good evening. This is Marie, a member of the HERALBONY staff.
Since the brand's inception, HERALBONY has placed great importance on the idea of "artist first." When using art, we always discuss with the artist, their family, and the facility before creating the product. We strive to create products that make the most of the appeal of the art itself, so as not to go against the artist's wishes.
We deliver the finished products to the artists, and often receive a photo of the artist holding the product as a thank you gift. Looking at these photos is a great encouragement for all of our employees, and is one of the happiest moments working at HERALBONY.
Kayano Tanida with
Limited edition T-shirt with serial number "How are you guys?"
Kayano Tanida, an unusual artist living in Thailand, and his mother. Kayano is wearing his favorite T-shirt (unfortunately sold out) featuring "#916", which was made to commemorate "World Down Syndrome Day", and his mother is wearing the limited edition "How are you guys?" T-shirt with a serial number.
When the HERALBONY staff visited Thailand to participate in the United Nations Asia Summit, they were able to hand it over to Keisuke directly. When they handed it over to him, he was so engrossed in something else that he didn't react at all...? That's also the charm of this unique artist. The place was filled with smiles.
> Limited edition T-shirt with serial number "How are you guys?" (Limited to 30 pieces) Kayano Tanida
This T-shirt is a rare item with a serial number and only 30 pieces are available in the world. We gave Tanida-san a special serial number "00".
This limited edition T-shirt is made with a focus on high-quality fabric and a print that lets you feel the color, texture of the brush, and even the thickness of the paint. There are only a few left, so hurry!
Masahiko Kimura with
Limited edition T-shirt with serial number "giraffe"
With the blue sky in the background,
Masahiko Kimura has a determined expression. He is wearing a limited edition T-shirt with a serial number, of which only 15 were sold at the Shibuya PARCO pop-up store. "Giraffe 2," drawn with a unique touch commonly known as "kyunikyuni" and powerful pen pressure, exudes a vitality that rivals the blue sky.
Kimura usually wears shirts with collars that fit him just right, but this oversized T-shirt looked great on him. The people at the facility were excited by Kimura's different atmosphere.

Kaede Wajima with
Junmai Ginjo "Drops"
The label for the artistic sake "Fukumitsuya x HERALBONY Junmai Ginjo Drops," created in collaboration with Fukumitsuya, a long-established sake brewery in Kanazawa, was designed by Kaede Wajima, an unconventional artist who, like Fukumitsuya, is from Kanazawa.
Her mother sent us this picture of her lovely smile when she visited Fukumitsuya's office. She said she had a wonderful time interacting with many staff members. It is also our joy at HERALBONY to be able to connect artists with many people through our products.
>《Fukumitsuya×HERALBONY》Junmai Ginjo "Drops" ¥3,300 (tax included) Kaede Wajima
The featured art, "Drops," is a paper-cut art piece created by Kaede, who loves stories featuring wizards and heroines, inspired by the tea party scene from "Alice in Wonderland." The pop, dynamic label adds a gorgeous touch to the fresh, light-tasting Junmai Ginjo sake. It is also available in a presentation box, making it a great gift idea.

HERALBONY's "Author First"
HERALBONY sees unusual artists as "equal partners" rather than "recipients of support." As a presence that goes beyond the boundaries of disabilities, and is more enthusiastic than anyone else about the appeal of the art created by unusual artists, and spreads that appeal, we will continue to embody the "artist first" philosophy that has been important since HERALBONY was founded.
