待望の秋!
11月の空気の濃度、透明感や光のバランスが気に入っている

Autumn, that's what I've been waiting for !
the balance of the density of the air and a transparent feeling and light in Nov is my favorite.

there's Japan Brand exhibition and I happened to meet Aizu Painting
which is traditional one in jp.
it looks so beautiful and chic !
recently many designers has got involved in such japanese traditional craft
to revival them in modern ways.
I totally agree with that !

there are more great design shows there which i couldn't take pics.
I feel design is a sort of life style which enrich your life :-)
love design !

ジャパン・ブランド・エキビジジョンというのがありました。
たまたま、会津若松の会津塗りと出会いました。とてもキレイでシックです。
最近、沢山のデザイナーがこういった日本の伝統文化を現代的な方法で蘇る試みが多いですね。
私も、大賛成です!

写真は撮れなかったけど、もっと沢山の素敵なデザインがありました。
デザインは、人生を豊かにする1つのライフスタイルですね :-)
デザイン大好き!

comparison















この本が有名なのは判りきった事ですが
私の最近の流行りの方法は、日本語と英語の両方のバージョンで読む事です。
そうする事で、自分の英語レベルを保つ良い訓練になるし
翻訳へのアドヴァイスが得られます。
(実は、特に日本語のセンスが...)

とにかく、ジョナサンはただのカモメじゃない!

it's obvious this book is quite famous.
however, my recent favorite way is to read in both Japanese and English version.
Doing in that way is very nice exercise to keep up my English level and
i can get some tips for translation between them.
(Actually especially for sense of Japanese...)

Anyway, this Jonathan is NOT an ordinary seagull !!!

today's phrase








真の教えは文字や言葉では表現できない所にある
本当に大切なことは言葉にはできない

これは禅宗の教えです
言葉やデザインは「心の形」だと私は信じているのですが
うっかり「見えるもの;言葉や形」に捕われてしまう時もあります
しかし こうした心構えをいつも心に刻んでおきたいですね

Teaching the truth is in the place not expressible in the character and the word.
A really important thing cannot be done in the word.

This is the lesson from ZEN.
I believe that words and design come from the shape of heart.
From time to time we happen to be caught by「visible things : words and shapes」
however, I want to always retain my mental attitude like this.

little kyoto via kyoto

just landed at kyoto !






















then, little kyoto....



































ok, I'll tell u the truth....
It's actually Takehara in Hiroshima where it's said little kyoto in Aki
( Aki means Hiroshima Prif during Heian period;794~1185/1192.)
The popular way of tiled roof is called Karahafu style having big carb shaps,
what's more, the lattice doors do have their own beautiful design.
Kyoto is really great but this Takehara can't be missed it !

京都からリトル京都へ

じゃ、本当の事を言うと。。。
実は、これは「安芸の小京都」と呼ばれる広島県竹原市です
(平安時代;794~1185/1192に、広島県は「安芸」と呼ばれてました)
瓦屋根の一般的な様式は、大きな曲線を持った唐破風と呼ばれ
そして、格子窓(戸)は、それぞれ独自の美しいデザインが施されてます
京都は本当に素晴らしい街ですが、竹原も見逃せませんよ!

for a competition














a communication dining table

the concept is that a table let people want to gather around.
i thought the target is for elderly people because they want to live as they used to be
like meeting friends as having a cup of coffee or dinner as much as they can.
therefore, this table can create more communication as placing a small counter over the
normal table hight where you can prepare for tea time, serving foods and etc as talking with your friends.

so you don't have to turn around to have conversation from the kitchen where is a bit
away from dining room and enjoy your happy time.

transformation


The way of thoughts...

If there're no words but numbers,
If every scenery surround you is formed by not shapes but dots,
If noise doesn't have real sound but visible objects,
Everything is like flowing water...

変換/変容

思考の方法
もしも 言葉が無く数字だったら
もしも あなたを取巻くどの景色も 形でなく点で構成されていたら
もしも 音が本当の音を持たず 目に見える物体だったら...
全ては 流れる水のようだ...
