On 26/11/2012 I received a mail from Morag Stuart from
Ireland, who wrote to me that he is desperately looking for a digital image of
a Japanese matchbox label he has fallen in love with!
He saw the image on my blog, entitled 'Old Japanese Labels
- Ways of transportation' with the five men on a bicycle. It is the one
entitled 'Best Matches'.
He was talking about this nice label of mine:
He said, that they are a family of five (three young
children aged 7, 4 and 2) living in Belfast, Northern Ireland, and love cycling
and also toured Japan some years ago. So this image would be perfect for them
to use in their new kitchen, for mounting behind glass as a cooker splash back
and therefore need the best definition image he can get hold of.
He asked me if I have any idea of how he can achieve this
rather far fetched dream!
Until the end of our first conversation I didn't understand
what is cooker splashback, but I took my Canon SX30 and shoot a 14mp photo of
the label, and sent it to him by mail.
On 14 Feb. 2013 I received a mail from Stuart, that finally
they have their splash back in place in thier new kitchen! and it is looking
great.
He thanked me for my help in making this project come to
fruition, and added that it certainly is unique and a great talking point, that
they love a lot!
He attached to the mail some photos of the splashback, so
now I finally know what is it all about.
