Sonseal

Koushinist Nagoya making sonseals

Sonseal(尊シール or 尊師ール, sonshīru) is a seal(sticker) with the portrait of Karasawa Takahiro on it.
It is a portmanteau of Sonshi, a title given to him, and seal.

Overview

The concept of sonseals was proposed on the Fort of Hungary (one of the Karasawa Takahiro bulletin boards) in 2013 to strike first against Karasawa-san side because Karasawa-san side had been keeping silence at this time.

The sonseal line occupies an important place in the art line in that it became the basis for the formation of karacoins.

I want to do the street art line such as creating seals or stencils of Sonshi and sticking them around Shibuya.

After this post, a Koushinist in Shinjuku resident supported the proposal. It led to the establishment of the full-fledged sonseal line.

Nice idea
Toshoku will make stickers putting them on and on if you design it nari.
I live in Shinjuku and my job is flexible so I can do it as much as I want nari.
It's awesome that there are Sonshi's portraits in the corner of vending machines.

先に言っておきますが、さっきのスレで「～を探せ」ネタを批判したのは
当職が今やっていることが大いにそれと被っているからに他なりません、嫉妬です
同志の気分を害してしまったならば謝ります

これから当職が貼るのが「新宿スナップの中に尊師を探せ！」ネタなので
だからもうなんかほんとすみません、めっちゃ疲れました
先の反省を活かして小さい画像を貼ります

The action sent shock waves through the Internet as the photos had unnecessarily good composition, the stickers were put on too strange places to guess how they had been put, and he/she was a desperate anarchy character so that he hadn't been afraid of police checks. Some 2ch curation site mentioned it nevertheless they were not spokespersons for Koushinism.

The method of "attaching on the wall on single toilet rooms" was established later to eliminate the risk of being seen the scene of the crime from others. This style went mainstream. Today sonseals are believed to stick on Toilet wall. Sonseals are common in stations, universities, restrooms in shopping mall. They are also seen on traffic signs, walls, vending machines.
