Full Transcript

00:15
You're looking at a previous Rise Japan event.

00:19
Groups of artists, California artists gathered together, donated art and sold the art on behalf of the victims of the Japanese tsunami and earthquake.

00:31
It's a wonderful creative response to what has been a devastating tragedy in Japan.

00:38
And the fourth version, the fourth volume of Rise Japan is about to take place.

00:44
And let me introduce you to one of the organizers of Rise Japan, Aoi Yamaguchi.

00:50
Thank you for joining us.

00:51
So in the past, you've had people, artists selling and donating what kinds of products, what kinds of creations?

00:59
So many different artists from all over the world, San Francisco and New UK and Japan donated their artwork, photography and paintings.

01:08
and also music producers and food vendors also donated their food and drinks.

01:13
We happen to have a handy bit of music that was donated here.

01:17
Thank you very much, Mellow Orange, Last Resort, Freddie Lachim.

01:23
And videographers have been shooting it.

01:26
We had some nice video earlier that showed the previous event.

01:29
So, volume four is about silk screen.

01:33
Yes.

01:34
Can you explain the idea of what kinds of things people can buy at that event?

01:39
Yeah, so for this event that's happening tomorrow, we are asking visitors to bring their own T-shirt or sweatshirt.

01:46
That's like anything that's laying around in the room and then just bring them.

01:51
And so we'll have different designs.

01:53
So like you're bringing your own T-shirt, for example?

01:56
Yeah.

01:57
So you take a blank T-shirt like this.

01:59
Okay.

02:00
And then?

02:01
And then so this is called a screen.

02:04
It's for six screen printing and we have 28 different designs for this event.

02:10
So we're going to have examples of the designs on the wall so you get to pick your favorite design.

02:15
And so you could do it on a shirt, you could do it on posters like this, or you could even do it on a bag like this.

02:23
Okay, so let me tell folks where you can see this event and where you can bring almost anything.

02:30
You could probably silk train on your arm, I suppose, or on your back if you want to.

02:34
Some people even mention, oh, I'm going to bring my car.

02:37
I guess that would work.

02:39
It's Rise Japan.

02:41
It's happening tomorrow, 1 to 7 p.m.

02:43
There's an after party as well, by the way.

02:45
It's at Studio 931, 931 Treat Avenue in San Francisco.

02:49

02:52
Thank you very much for the wonderful event.

02:55
Marty, Isabel, back to you.

02:57
Okay, Henry, thanks a lot.
