Eiji Okuyama @mowl and Kenta Kushiro and @mowlkenta will be joining us to answer questions all about mowl and their amazing product line.

If you don’t know these two amazing players behind mowl let me introduce them with these two videos:

Simply put these two are AMAZING! Eiji is also a World Champion and responsible for an amazing amount of innovation in offstring (aka Eiji’s Regen).

They are both extremely talented and have amazing stuff in the works for mowl and the yoyo community and they are excited to be here for a forum chat! (And we have some mowl releases for 4/20!)

Post your question in THIS THREAD any time Before Tuesday (4/19) at 10PM ET, Eiji or Kenta will be answering them throughout that time. I will note with English being their second language I’m not sure I can promise answers for every single question!

Was it always Mowl’s intention to feature elaborate engravings on the yoyos? The artwork you use stands out so much from other companies, the yoyos almost seem like a canvas to present this artwork. Was featuring this art part of why you created your own company? The yoyos are fantastic in terms of play, but it’s the artwork that really fascinates me with Mowl.

I love your attention to detail in both yoyo design and your engravings that not a lot of other yoyo companies can offer. When designing, do you have a really good piece of art work that influences the yoyo design, or vice versa?

So… those engravings…… is there a reason for why they are so intricate, and do they generally have a meaning relating to yo-yo they are put on?

Another about engravings, eyes seem to in many of the engravings, is there a reason for that?

We still have no plans to produce that at the moment, but we think it’s good idea to do! We’ll consider it.

The m and the obsession are awesome and I love the bi metal versions . When creating the bi metal version is there anything you focus on changing first to get the weight right ? Obsession + is my absolute favorite lately.

Also is Fist Salud mean fist health? Or like a salad?

-Where does the inspiration for each yoyo design/the artwork come from?

-Has previous experience played a part in yoyo design, or do you look more toward innovation?

What gave you inspiration to create something so interesting like the newly released hybrid? Where do you most draw inspiration from when designing in general?

What are the B-grade rates like for some of your guys’ engravings, or what were they like, if they were only a problem at first?

If neither of those was a problem, what was the search like for someone that could manage to get so many dense, detailed engravings on so many yoyos?

Are there any companies that you would like to collaborate with on a design in the future?

Given that the aesthetics of your releases are so unique, do you have any specific art inspirations? How have these inspirations translated into how you design the art on your yoyos?

Thanks for doing this?
