Public baths where local people and information can gather and heal the mind and body are scattered all over the country and have supported our lives. However, the number of public baths continues to decrease in the face of issues such as aging facilities and a shortage of successors as lifestyles change and the number of public baths continues to decline. "Recommendations for sento" was held from January to February 2019 as an event to convey how to enjoy sento in order to maintain the cultural value of sento.
In the second installment, "Recommendations for public baths. 2021", the cartoonist and writer Mari Yamazaki, who worked on "Thermae Romae" and "Olympia Kyros", focused on the compatibility between sports and public baths. I drew it down. With the theme of exercise and bath, the design is a combination of 6 sports competitions (wheelchair basketball, sports climbing, throwing, surfing, judo, volleyball), bath tubs and hand towels.
The illustration by Mari Yamazaki was drawn as a public bath picture of the popular public bath "Kotobukiyu" in Higashiueno.
Mizuki Tanaka, one of the few sento paint painters, was in charge of this sento painting. In addition, a curtain with the characters of the event title "Sento no Susume." Handwritten by Mari Yamazaki will be hung, and various other decorations inside the Kotobukiyu store will be changed to "Sento no Susume. 2021" specifications.
I took a picture of a model cut wearing limited goods planned for "Sento Recommendation. 2021" such as a quick-drying T-shirt printed with illustrations of 6 sports competitions drawn by Mari Yamazaki.
In everyday sento paintings, I often draw various colors while mixing them in a moment, but this time it was unusual to draw in black and white, which was interesting. It was a valuable experience to be able to draw a picture of the completed design by Mari Yamazaki, instead of the scenery of mountains and waterside that I always draw.
In addition, I was honored to be able to draw an athlete with an ancient Greek motif, which is typical of Yamazaki, at the time when sports attracted attention. Various people come to the public bath, so I hope that various stories will be born through this paint painting.
When I saw the illustration by Mari Yamazaki actually drawn on the sento picture of "Kotobukiyu", I felt that it was very novel, unlike the usual sento picture design.
I was hoping that there would be something I could do as Kotobukiyu when sports were attracting attention, so I am very happy to be able to publish a sento picture with six sports as a motif.
We will continue to do our best to be a place of relaxation for our neighbors.
At the public bath "Kotobukiyu" in Higashi-Ueno, Tokyo, a picture of Mari Yamazaki's public bath is drawn on the wall in the bathroom, and a sento with the event title "Recommendation of public bath" handwritten by Mari Yamazaki is hung. ..

The first "Sento Recommendation" was held from January to February 2019 as an event to convey how to enjoy public baths, delivered in collaboration with Milk Soap Kyoshinsha Co., Ltd. and BEAMS JAPAN. Events such as stamp rallies and talk shows, using the illustrations of public baths drawn by popular artist Yu Nagaba in the design of public baths and curtains, crossing about 550 public baths in Tokyo, centering on Kotobukiyu in Higashi-Ueno, Tokyo. At the same time, we appealed the appeal of public baths to the younger generation. At the pop-up shop held at the BEAMS JAPAN store, a shooting spot that imitated a public bath was also introduced, and limited-design milk soap "Cow Brand Orange Box", apparel miscellaneous goods, and public bath goods were sold. The 2020 Good Design Award (sponsored by Japan Institute of Design Promotion) is said to have created an opportunity for society to pay attention to the declining sento by connecting the sento and the motivation to go to it with a design.
