Message from Yuji Kamiyama

Every morning, the sound of a coffee grinder wakes me up. Pouring the first cup and a coffee pot to drink while drawing in the studio. In the afternoon I turn the grinder in the studio and prepare for two cups. 3 o'clock snack time with a cup of coffee and a smoke turn my switch on. Finally, having coffee which is remained in the pot, I look back over the day - this is my routine and my way of dealing with coffee.
