My shop to show handmade goods.

A child of seal.

Shelves full potteries like a storeroom.

no houseroom of baskets.
I want to have a shop to show my sculptures, potteries and baskets even if it's a small. As I mention that before, I work at high school as a par time art teacher, because it is hard to make living to sell my works and others. So if I quit the teaching , I wouldn't make living. However, I have many sculptures, potteries and baskets. There are times to sell it to a person who wants these works. I'm thinking that how to get a space to show my works somehow.

Eating orange in the kotatsu.

Speaking of winter in Japan, kotatsu and mandarin orange. A kotatsu is a small table with an electric heater underneath and covered by a quilt. Eating mandarin oranges can resupply a person's vitamin c stores. during the winter. There was no central heating in Japanese houses long ago, so kotatsu were efficient heater for them. When your lower body feels warm, you will want to eat an orange. This is a natural thing to do while relaxing in the kotatsu.

Importance of feeling things directly.

It is important to meet in person, not by way of internet, face to face, doing things directly. For example, using a pencil to write literature, using a saw to cut wood, touching things with your own hands and body. So you can feel the texture, weight, temperature and scent. The feeling stimulates you. Many people play computer games. It doesn't provide literal feeling. I think if you play them for a long time, you will be irritable. Because the lack of the sense makes you get irritated. The number of such people is increasing these days. You might be unconscious of the irritation. There is evidence in the fact that some say " I calmed down while making things." I have thought that for a long time , but I think it these days even more.

Student's feeling.

What almost high school students are like, I tried to write about becoming them. " Although I said I'll go there, I won't,because it's a hassle. Although I was going to do that, I won't do it,because I might fail. I don't want to do what is tired. But don't ignore me. I'm careful about having a place where I can stay. Anyway I will definitely do what can get benefit from for myself. I don't have anything special that I want to do. Announcers talk about some big news on TV,but it's none of my business. I want to dye my hair such color. I have been going out with girl/boy friend for several month. My cell phone broke. I have to take on another job. Ah, well whatever. Is there anything interesting ? " I want to tell them that if you try something hard, I'm sure you can get good things. However, my words have fallen on deaf ears.
