【家のいのちが尽きる。廃屋の残照】


住宅取材を数十年続けてきています。
通常は新築されたばかりの住宅が多い。
ときどきはリフォームされた住宅も取材するけれど、
その動機の主要な部分は生活の場としての機能回復、現代化。
カタチは残るけれど機能性としては最新のライフスタイルにあわせることになる。
それは当然のことで、現代を生きる我々はまさか明治大正の暮らしを
復元したいと思っているわけではない。
このことはたぶん歴史年代を通して、あるいは家という定住をはじめて以来
人間と家との関係ではそうであったに違いない。

取材を重ねてくると、古民家とかの過去物件にも強く興味が湧いてくる。
これはたぶんわたしの個人的なものであるに違いない。
歴史とかがそもそも好きでその延長線上で
過去の時間、先人が過ごしてきた空間という興味が盛り上がった結果なのだろう。
そういう心理のひとつのあらわれとして廃屋に惹かれている。
廃屋からはかつての人々の暮らしようが立ち上る空気感がある。
きのうわたしの「好みの空間」写真のAI検証の一端をご覧に入れたけれど
先人の空間体験を追体験することで「伝わって」来るモノがある。
これは感覚の領域のことなので、理性的・合理的に整頓はできないけれど
たぶん想像力の領域で見えてくる部分なのでしょうね。
北海道では地方の道路沿いなどでも写真のような光景に出会う。
土地を得てそれを耕すことで自立生計することができるという夢を抱いて
150年前くらいから多くの移住者たちがこの地に暮らしてきた。
そしてその家で世代更新の場が確保され、わたしたちが生き延びてきている。
そういう祖父母父母たちの暮らしようがまざまざとピンナップされている。
わたしにはどうもそのように見えてならないのですね。
つい頭を垂れされられる思いが募ってくるのです。
家はそういう場であって、次の世代に託したものの叫びのようなモノが伝わる。

一方で、この写真はわたしが幼い頃に見ていた「外界」の様子。
わたしは札幌の北大植物園を東側に見る角地の家で過ごしていた。
3才から16才くらいまでの感受性揺籃期にこの森を見て育った。
家を見るというのは外側からの視覚で解剖的に見ることになるけれど、
人間の側からは家は行動拠点であってそこから外界に立ち向かって行く場所。
主体性の部分ではこういう光景にこそ強い思い入れがあるのでしょう。
わたしの場合で言えば、この光景の手前側には札幌市内有数の幹線道路
「石山道路」があって、その道路はまっすぐ南方に向かう視界を見せていた。
「この道を通っていくと日本がある・・・・」
幼い北海道人としてはそういう主観を育てていたようにも思える。
家を見る視線と、家から見る視線、たぶん人間に決定的なのは
その両方なのでしょう。

The life of the house will run out. Afterglow of an abandoned house]
There are two ways of looking at a house, and one way of looking at it from the house’s perspective. The coverage of houses is mainly the former. The house is a proof of human life as a place to raise children. The feelings that cannot be put into words come to us. The house

We have been covering housing for decades.
Usually, the homes are newly built.
Occasionally I also cover remodeled homes, but
The main motive is to restore and modernize the functionality of the house as a place to live.
The form remains the same, but the functionality is adapted to the latest lifestyle.
It is only natural that we, who live in the modern age, do not want to restore the lifestyle of the Meiji and Taisho eras.
We do not want to restore the lifestyle of the Meiji and Taisho eras.
This has probably been the case throughout history or since the first settlement in a house.
This must have been the case in the relationship between human beings and their homes.

As I continue to conduct more and more research, I am becoming more and more interested in old private houses and other properties from the past.
This is probably a personal thing for me.
I love history, and as an extension of that love, I have a strong interest in the past.
I am interested in the past and the spaces where our ancestors have spent their time.
I am attracted to abandoned houses as a manifestation of this kind of psychology.
Abandoned houses give me a sense of the atmosphere of how people used to live in the past.
Yesterday, I showed you a part of the AI verification of my “favorite space” photos.
There are things that are “conveyed” to us by reliving the spatial experiences of our predecessors.
This is in the realm of the senses, so it cannot be rationally or rationally put into order.
But perhaps it is something that can be seen in the realm of imagination.
In Hokkaido, we encounter scenes like the one in the photo along local roads.
With the dream of being able to earn a self-sustaining living by acquiring land and cultivating it, many immigrants have been living in Hokkaido since about 150 years ago.
Many immigrants have lived here since about 150 years ago.
Their homes have provided a place for the renewal of generations, and we have survived.
This is a pin-up of the way our grandparents lived.
I can’t help but see it that way.
I can’t help but feel a sense of being made to hang my head.
A house is such a place that conveys the cries of those who have entrusted it to the next generation.

On the other hand, this photo shows the “outside world” as I saw it when I was a child.
I lived in a house on a corner lot looking east toward the Hokkaido University Botanical Garden in Sapporo.
I grew up looking at this forest from the age of 3 to 16, when I was in the cradle of my sensitivity.
Looking at a house means looking at it from the outside, from the anatomical point of view, but from the human side, a house is not a base for action.
From the human side, a house is a base for action, a place from which we confront the outside world.
From the standpoint of subjectivity, it is this kind of scene that we have a strong attachment to.
In my case, in front of this scene, there is “Ishiyama Road,” one of the major highways in Sapporo.
The road was heading straight toward the south.
“If you go down this road, you will find Japan. ・・・・”
As a young Hokkaidoian, I seem to have developed that kind of subjectivity.
The gaze of the house and the gaze from the house, perhaps the two most decisive things for human beings.
It is probably both of them.

【AIと対話しながら探す「自分の好きな空間」】




写真の3点はいま進めている新事業開発プロセスからのワンシーン。
弊社の写真ライブラリストックのデータベースからある一定数を抜粋し
わたし自身が実験モデルになって「その人の好みの住空間」探究するプロジェクト。
たくさんの写真から「これは好ましい」という写真をユーザーが選択し
それをAIの側で「傾向と対策」をさまざまに読み取って
ひとつの「提案」として「あなたはきっとこんな空間が好きなのでは?」と
問い返してくる実験での写真群から抜粋したモノ。

住宅写真というのはさまざまな「撮影方法」があって、
そのいろいろな手法の中からある特定の「解」の結果として撮影する。
住宅雑誌を30年以上継続してきて、しかも多くのスタッフが関わって
そういう「集合知」のようなものが積層して「空間を表現する言語」に至っている。
そうです、一種の表現手法が言語化している部分がある。
しかし表現されるべき住宅は作り手と頼む側の「思い」がそこに反映している。
その製造段階の思いを体感・感受した人間が一期一会で出会う。
あらかじめの「こうであるべきだ」というような計算は成立しがたい。
すべてがあるがまま、そのことを大前提として撮影が行われる。
そういう瞬間に、それこそ一期一会で写真に「空気感」を切り取っていく。
こういう結果としてのたくさんの住宅写真が積層している。
わたし自身も多くの住宅実例の取材現場に立会い、
施主さんの住宅への思いや、作り手の建築意図を現場的に取材してきた。
そして現実の住宅に立ち向かって、いくつかのアングルに表現を託していく。
こういう住宅写真について、はじめて本格的なAI解析を試みた次第。

その解析の結果「わたしの好きな空間写真」という提案がAIから送られてくる。
都合10点の写真が示されたのですが、どれも「こころに訴求してくる」。
こういった「情緒」に属する領域を解析するためのAIというのは、
自分自身でもあんまり気付かない潜在意識的な部分をある意味、可視化する。
さまざまな写真画像の「好き、そうでもない」選別を繰り返していくと
ある提案判断に立ち至ることができるのですね。
この3点の写真群はその10点の中から選んだ写真の一部です。
あくまでも空間「解析」言語体系なので、十分にコトバ化できないものがある。
ただ、受け取った自分自身では「納得感」がある。
住宅雑誌を30年以上やってきて、はじめて自分自身と向き合った感覚。
これらの写真群から、それこそ選択理由というのはさまざまにコトバ化可能。
陰影感とか、空気感、いごこちのナカミ、家族関係・・・。
自分自身もワクワクしながら、プロジェクト作業を進めているところです。

Searching for “my favorite space” while interacting with AI
A sense of confronting one’s natural preferences and the substance of one’s sensitivity to space. The AI’s suggestions clearly indicate the trigger for “dialogue”. ・・・・・・・.

The three photos are scenes from the new business development process we are currently working on.
I have selected a certain number of photos from the database of our photo library stock.
I myself became an experimental model in this project to explore “a person’s preferred living space”.
The user selects a “favorable” photo from a large number of photos, and then the AI selects a “favorable” photo from a large number of photos.
The AI then reads the photos for “trends and countermeasures” in various ways, and makes a “suggestion” as a “suggestion” to the user.
and then make a “suggestion” as “You must like this kind of space, right? as a “suggestion.
The photos are excerpts from an experiment in which the AI reads various “trends and countermeasures” and returns a “suggestion” in the form of a question, “I bet you like this kind of space.

There are various methods of photographing houses.
I take pictures as a result of a particular “solution” from among the various methods.
In the more than 30 years of running a housing magazine, and with the involvement of a large number of staff members, we have been able to create a kind of “collective knowledge” of housing photography.
This kind of “collective knowledge” has been accumulated and has led to a “language for expressing space.
Yes, there is a part where a kind of method of expression has become a language.
However, the “thoughts” of the creator and the requester are reflected in the house to be expressed.
People who have experienced and sensed the thoughts at the manufacturing stage meet each other once in a lifetime.
It is difficult to calculate what should be done in advance.
Everything is photographed as it is, with that as the basic premise.
At such a moment, the photographer captures the “atmosphere” in each and every photograph.
The result of this process is the accumulation of many photographs of houses.
I myself have been present at many housing photo shoots, and I have seen and experienced the client’s thoughts and feelings about their homes.
I have also been present at the sites of many actual housing projects, and have been able to interview the client’s thoughts about the house and the architect’s architectural intentions.
I then confronted the actual houses and expressed myself from several angles.
For the first time, we attempted a full-fledged AI analysis of these residential photographs.

As a result of this analysis, AI sent us suggestions for “my favorite spatial photos.
The AI suggested 10 photos, all of which “appealed to my heart.
AI for analyzing such an “emotional” area is a very useful tool.
In a sense, AI for analyzing such “emotional” areas visualizes the subconscious part of the mind that even we ourselves are not really aware of.
Repeatedly sorting through various photographic images to determine “like” or “not like.
I can come to a certain proposal judgment.
This group of three photos is part of the selection of 10 photos.
Since this is only a spatial “analysis” language system, there are things that cannot be fully coterminous.
However, there is a “sense of satisfaction” in myself as the recipient.
This is the first time I have faced myself after more than 30 years of working for a housing magazine.
The reasons for the selection of these photos can be expressed in a variety of ways.
The shading, the atmosphere, the sense of comfort, family relationships, and so on.
I am excited to be working on this project.

【寄せ木細工という人類文化・技術】



Macの環境を変えるのにはTime Machineというアップルが提供している
丸ごと引っ越しツールを利用することで比較的容易。
しかしAdobeとかMicrosoftなどでは独自にユーザー管理ツールがあるので
ソフト利用時に思わぬ困難が惹起したりすることがある。
一々、パスワードを要求されるのでその管理が重要になる。
今回はいくつかの「通過儀礼」を問題なくクリアできて比較的に順調。
しかしまぁ、1週間程度は様子を見るために旧環境マシンもそのまま保持。
昨日も社内環境での設定変更の結果、ブラウザ変更する必要が出るなど
およそ予期し得ない事態が起こってくるのですね。

さて本日は國學院大學博物館での特別展から。
先日も書いたのですが日本画コレクションの山種美術館からやや坂道を上がると
この博物館にたどりつくのであります。わたしの東京でのホーム。
いつの頃からか、このコースが習慣化しています。
大学の博物館というのはポピュラーなのかどうか知りませんが
歴史好きなわたしとしては母校の博物館はこころの栄養源なのです。
上の写真は「寄せ木細工手法のルーツ」的な展示。以下展示説明。
〜寄せ木細工の起源 寄せ木細工のルーツはエジプト18王朝のツタンカーメン
<BC1347-39>墓出土の木製手箱にまで遡れると言われ、
その後西アジア一帯で寄せ木技術を用いた作品が確認できる。
現在知られる日本最古の寄せ木細工は中国からの請来品で法隆寺宝物など30点。
これらは西アジア地域で制作されシルクロードを伝ってもたらされた。
しかしわが国では蒔絵や螺鈿の漆工芸が好まれたためか、その後
近世後期に至るまで盛り上がらず、その後再出発したとされる。
展示の石のモザイク画はアパメア遺跡(シリアBC3世紀ころ)時代のもので、
色違いの石材で鳥の模様を描き出しており、すでに同時代に制作されていた
寄せ木細工との共通性が見いだせるものといえる。その後、寄せ木細工技術は
西アジアからヨーロッパ全土に広がった。〜・・・
ということで、ことしはじめの「ポンペイ遺跡」の建築群展示などで
こうした石のモザイク技術が駆使されたことは学んでいた。
ちょっとしたことから人類の建材技術の長い歴史の一端を知った次第。

下の写真は江戸期になって盛んになった寄せ木細工による箪笥。
以前、小田原で箱根に由来すると思える在地の寄せ木細工技術を見学したが
こういった精緻な加工技術は日本オリジナルとも思える。
中国という現代史いや、世界史全体での最大の波乱要因が惹起する現代。
日本が生き延びていくためには、やはり産業技術を基盤にするしかない。
先人たちが成し遂げてきたこういった技術をさらに現代産業のすべての分野に
応用し、活用していくことがキモなのだと思った。

The human culture and technology of Yosegi-zaiku
Considering the undeniable contemporaneous symbiosis with the highly dangerous dictatorial communist state of China, Japan has no choice but to further hone its technological capabilities to survive. …….

Changing the Mac environment is relatively easy by using Time Machine, Apple’s
It is relatively easy to change the Mac environment by using the whole move tool provided by Apple called Time Machine.
However, Adobe and Microsoft have their own user management tools
This can cause unexpected difficulties when using software.
Since a password is required at every step, it is important to keep track of it.
This time, we were able to clear several “rites of passage” without any problems, and things are going relatively well.
However, the old environment machine is still there to see how it goes for about a week.
Yesterday, as a result of a configuration change in the internal environment, we had to change our browser.
Unexpected things happen, don’t they?

Today, I would like to start with a special exhibition at the Kokugakuin University Museum.
As I wrote the other day, if you walk up a little slope from the Yamatane Museum of Art, which has a collection of Japanese paintings, you will reach this museum.
I have already written about it the other day. This is my home in Tokyo.
I don’t know how long I have been following this course, but it has become a habit.
I don’t know if university museums are popular or not, but as a history buff
But as a history buff, the museum at my alma mater is a source of nourishment for my mind.
The photo above is an exhibit on the “Roots of Yosegi-zaiku (marquetry) Techniques. Here is the explanation of the exhibit.
〜The origin of marquetry The origin of marquetry is Tutankhamun of the 18th Dynasty in Egypt.
<The roots of marquetry can be traced back to the wooden handbasket excavated from the tomb of Tutankhamun of the 18th Dynasty in Egypt (1347-39 BC).
Since then, works using yosegi-zaiku techniques can be found throughout Western Asia.
The oldest known Japanese yosegi-zaiku work is a collection of 30 pieces from China, including the Horyu-ji Treasure.
These were produced in West Asia and brought to Japan via the Silk Road.
In Japan, however, maki-e and mother-of-pearl inlay lacquer crafts were favored, and the popularity of these crafts did not increase until the late modern period.
However, in Japan, makie lacquerware and mother-of-pearl inlays were favored, and the craft did not gain momentum until the late modern period, after which it is said to have been revived.
The stone mosaics on display are from the Apamea site (Syria, 3rd century BC).
The mosaics are made of stone of different colors and depict bird patterns, and it was found that they have something in common with marquetry that was already produced in the same period.
It can be said to have something in common with marquetry that was already being produced in the same period. Later, marquetry techniques
spread from Western Asia to all over Europe. 〜The first time I saw a piece of marquetry, I thought, “I’ve never seen anything like this before.
The stone mosaic technique was used in the architectural complexes at the ruins of Pompeii at the beginning of this year.
I had learned that this kind of stone mosaic technology was used in the architectural complexes of the “Pompeii ruins” at the beginning of this year.
I learned about the long history of human technology of building materials from this little thing.

The photo below shows a tansu (chest) made of marquetry, which became popular in the Edo period (1603-1868).
I had previously visited Odawara to see a local marquetry technique that seems to have originated in Hakone.
This kind of exquisite workmanship seems to be a Japanese original.
The present day is marked by China, the most turbulent factor in modern history, or even in world history as a whole.
In order to survive, Japan has no choice but to build on its industrial technology.
We must further apply and utilize these technologies that our predecessors have achieved in all areas of modern industry.
The key is to further apply and utilize these technologies that our predecessors have achieved in all fields of modern industry.

【昨日からMac機種移行作業、無事完了】



先日の出張で乗っていたフェリーからの朝日とわが家周辺の紅葉と
背景の山々の紅葉の進行ぶりであります。
写真と記事テーマはまったく関連性が乏しい(笑)。
でもまぁ、無上の「ホーム」感の表現と言うことで・・・。

ここのところ出張時に接続ドライブのデータ消失などもあって、
これまで使ってきていたMacbookの機種について更新することにした。
と言っても同じ2020年製の機種同士でOSもほぼ同様なので
通常の機種変更とはカンドコロに大きな違いがあった。
最近のPCの傾向として軽量化優先の思想があって、
勢い、接続する外部ドライブなどとの連携部分に負荷がかかっている。
Mac本体はどんどん機能省略的になっていっていく趨勢で
現行機種では接続端子はUSB-C2口に極限されている。
それだけでたくさんの外部機器との接続をこなしていくので、
とくに電源管理的な部分での注意がユーザー負担になってきている。
先般の外部接続HDDのデータ消失もこの電源管理の問題が引き起こしたと推測。
いまはHDDメーカーの技術部門、データレスキュー部門で精密チェック中ですが、
寄せられている報告ではほぼ絶望的な状況。
この電源管理的なトラブルがもっとも可能性が高いのですね。
そういうトラブルが発生していることから
Mac本体側でもたぶん本格的なケア・修復が必要だと判断したのです。
こういうトラブルってこれまで未経験。
前述のようなメーカーのものづくり姿勢が生み出してきた新たなトラブル領域。
すべての接続外部機器についての「電源管理」を考える必要がある。
そしてそのことと同時並行でテレワーク的な、
わたしの場合では出張機会がより活発になって来たような現実の中で
周辺機器との接続環境ごと移動させることが多くなって来ているのですね。
テレワークや移動を前提とすると環境まるごと移動が求められる。
それなのにパソコンの記憶領域の総量はどんどん削減化。
まぁ、長いものにはMicrosoft、いやMacなので
対応して行くしかないのがユーザーの悲しい宿命と言うことでしょうか。

そういえば電源管理ということでは国レベルでも「電気の節約」お願いとのこと。
岸田政権というのは政策のハンドリングがどうなのでしょうか?
官僚機構に対してのグリップが強く感じられない。
むしろ財務省などの言いなりで官僚機構とのいい意味での緊張関係が乏しい。
エネルギーや電力についてはこれは現代世界の国の基幹事項。
産業政策の枢要中の枢要だと思うのですが、
いまだにマスコミが影響する目先の支持率などに惑っている印象がぬぐえない。
産業のコメ・電源管理はしっかりしてもらいたい。

The Mac model migration process started yesterday and has been completed successfully.
Macs are becoming lighter and lighter, and data is now externalized. PC users are doing their best, so you do your best too, Kishida-san! Kishida-san, you do your best!

The sunrise from the ferry on a recent business trip, the autumn leaves around our house, and the progress of the leaves in the mountains in the background.
The progress of the autumn leaves in the mountains in the background.
The photos and the theme of the article are not related at all (laugh).
But, well, it is just an expression of the feeling of “home”….

Recently, I have been on a business trip and lost some data on my connected drive.
I decided to update the model of Macbook I have been using.
However, since they are the same model made in 2020 and the OS is almost the same, I decided to update my Macbook.
There was a big difference from the usual model change.
The trend of recent PCs is to prioritize weight reduction.
The load is on the linkage part with momentum and external drives connected to the PC.
The Mac itself is becoming more and more feature-less.
The current models are limited to two USB-C ports.
This is the only way to connect to a large number of external devices.
This has placed a burden on the user, especially in terms of power management.
The recent data loss of externally connected HDDs was also caused by this power management problem.
We are currently conducting a thorough check at the HDD manufacturer’s technical department and data rescue department.
According to the reports we have received, the situation is almost hopeless.
So this power management trouble is the most likely cause.
Since such a trouble is occurring
We decided that the Mac itself probably needs serious care and repair.
I have never experienced this kind of trouble before.
This is a new area of trouble that has been created by the manufacturer’s manufacturing attitude as described above.
It is necessary to consider “power management” for all connected external devices.
And at the same time, we need to consider the teleworking, telecommuting, and other aspects of the business.
In my case, the reality is that I am becoming more active in business trips.
I have to move the entire connection environment with the peripherals more and more.
Telework and mobility require the entire environment to be moved.
And yet, the total amount of storage space on PCs is being reduced more and more.
Well, it’s Microsoft for the long haul, or rather, Mac.
I guess it is the sad fate of users that they have no other choice but to adapt to the new system.

Speaking of power management, the national government is also asking for “electricity conservation” at the national level.
How is the Kishida administration handling the policy?
I don’t sense a strong grip on the bureaucracy.
Rather, it is at the behest of the Ministry of Finance and others, and there is little tension in a positive sense with the bureaucracy.
Energy and electricity are the backbone of the modern world.
I think it is the pivotal point of industrial policy.
I can’t shake the impression that the media is still distracted by the short-term approval ratings and other factors that affect it.
I would like to see the rice and power supply management of the industry be solid.

Tokyo “Shibuya Plateau” History since Jomon Period
The East Shibuya Plateau overlooks the Shibuya River along Meiji-dori. A group of ruins from the Jomon period has been confirmed. The high plateau along the river was a prime Jomon site for hunting, fishing, gathering, and other activities. Jomon Period

On the Higashi-Shibuya Plateau overlooking the Shibuya River, remains from the Jomon and Kofun periods have been found.
On the edge of the plateau, a group of burial mounds and side tombs of the Kofun period were also constructed.
The area behind Hikawa (behind Hikawa Shrine?) in the modern and early-modern periods was a site of the Satsuma Domain’s subordinate clans. In the modern and early modern period, the area behind Hikawa Shrine (behind Hikawa Shrine?) was the residence of the Satsuma clan, the imperial household, the Higashifushimi Palace, and the Lee family.
The Hikawa-ura (behind the Hikawa Shrine?) in the early modern period was also the residence of the Satsuma clan, the imperial household, the residence of the Higashifushimi Palace, a group of residences associated with the Yi clan, and a dormitory for Korean female students.

〜From the Kokugakuin University Museum.
I was not a very enthusiastic student when I was a student at Kokugakuin University, but much time has passed since then.
Sometimes, when I go on business trips to Tokyo, I have become a student of time and space transcendence (laugh).
This time, I had a chance to travel back in time and saw the inscription for the first time.
I was surprised to see it.
Until a little while ago, I had been exploring Paleolithic archipelago people on my blog.
So I was surprised at the oddity when I came across this kind of description.
When I was a university student, I was wandering around and interacting with theater groups at various universities, so this kind of encounter is truly amazing.
I was really surprised at such a chance encounter.
I found an interesting article on the Kokugakuin University Media website.

There were ancient people in Shibuya! It was inevitable that people would gather at the scramble crossing!
Message from the topography” that developed Shibuya.
〜The place where the ancient people of Shibuya lived is now a prime location.
The culture and lifestyle brought about by the downstream action of the river has become the foundation of the present day.
Kokugakuin University is located in the eastern part of Shibuya Ward, on a plateau called the “Higashi-Shibuya Plateau. The university is located next to Hikawa Shrine.
Hikawa Shrine, which is located next to the university, you can feel the considerable difference in elevation.
Down the hill, the Shibuya River flows along Meiji-dori Avenue. In the Jomon period
In the Jomon period, high ground along the river was a good location for hunting, fishing, and gathering food.
Many people think of Musashino when they hear the word “Musashino”, but in fact, this place is called “Musashino Plateau”.
Musashino is actually the eastern edge of the “Musashino Plateau” and the center of the “Yamanote” or “Yamanote” area. Incidentally, the area around the scramble intersection is
The area around the Scramble Crossing used to be a low marshy area with only a river flowing through it.
There is no purpose to go there except to get food or to travel on the water. In the pre-modern era, the scenery around this area was like the precincts of Hikawa Shrine, and the warm temperatures and high sea level made it a perfect place for rope writing.
Before and after the Jomon period, when the area was warm and sea level was high, it was a very convenient area near the sea.
The Jomon people chose this area as a prime location. The Jomon people chose this area as a prime location.

We visit this place today as a capital city.
In a far distant time, this kind of perception of the land should prevail.
It has been about 450 years since Tokyo was first developed as Edo.
It is said that Ieyasu was strongly recommended Edo by Hideyoshi as a base for his entry into the Kanto region.
I wonder if Hideyoshi had an eye for land selection that was similar to that of the Jomon people.
However, this is not the case.
He found Edo Bay to be as convenient for shipping as Osaka, and said, “Well, it is more developable than Osaka.
He was relieved that the possibility of development would be smaller than that of Osaka, and
I think that he recommended Shukichi with this level of kindness.
After a long time, this kind of viewpoint is very interesting to us Hokkaido people.
I am very interested in this kind of viewpoint as a person from Hokkaido.

最後の日の午前から飛行機の時間までしばし恵比寿・広尾を美術散歩。
だんだん絵の好みというのは絞られていくのでしょうが、
わたしの場合は歴史好きが際だってきたこともあってか、伝統的な感受性、
日本人的な「ものの見方」を反映したものに収斂してきた。
それこそ縄文の土偶からはじまってくる感受性は
大和絵、鳥獣戯画みたいな諧謔性もはらみながら
現代のマンガ文化に至るまでの大きな流れを感じさせられる。
そういうことなので山種美術館と東京国立博物館の展示がホーム感。
ただ今回は東京国立博物館は全国宝展示で予約者だけという限定なので
予定がつかなかったので諦めました。
仕方ない側面があるとはいえ、文化鑑賞に於いて予約だけというのは
あんまり同意できない。
忙しい人間ほど、こころの空洞が拡大する傾向があり、
それを根底から癒すような役割が文化芸術には必須なのではないかと。

わたしはネコにはあまり興味は無い方です。
どっちかというとイヌの方が好みに合っている。
ネコはいかにも独立不羈という内面を感じさせられ遠慮する部分がある。
しかし最近娘が飼っていた愛ネコが旅立ったこともあって
その娘の心情をおもんばかる気分で「ピーちゃん」の目線を思い出していた。
たまたま山種美術館でこの同じ斑猫の絵と出会った次第。
ふと「この絵の写真を娘に」とも考えたがやはり止めた。
ようやく時間の忘却が始まるときに再度揺り戻すように感じた。
この作品は作家の竹内栖鳳さんが沼津市内を歩いていたときに
ある八百屋の店先で荷車の上で寝ていたこの猫と遭遇。
「ははぁ、徽宗皇帝の猫がいるぞ」とコトバを発したのだという。
〜徽宗は北宋の第8代皇帝。書画の才に優れ北宋最高の芸術家の一人と言われる。
一方政治的無能で治世には人民は悪政に苦しみ宋江の乱など地方反乱が頻発。〜
その徽宗の描いた有名な猫の絵があって画家のインスピレーションを刺激した。
しかしその猫は八百屋の女将さんの愛猫で画家の手許に渡るには
ずいぶんと逸話があってようやくこの猫は沼津から画家の京都の自邸に移った。
しばし画家の手許で創作のモデル役を果たした後、
いずこともなく消息を絶ったのだという。
猫にして見ればやむなく画家の勝手に付き合わされたけれど、
役目を果たしてのちは猫本然の独立不羈の生き方に回帰したのだろうか。
わが娘の愛猫は結局、娘の腕の中で旅立っていったと聞いたけれど
画家のモデル猫とどっちがシアワセだったか、誰にもわからないでしょうね。

Seiho Takeuchi’s “Spotted Cat” and his daughter’s cat “Pi-chan”.
A Japanese painting work designated as an Important Cultural Property. This is a seperate reproduction from a painting of a cat by Emperor Huizong in the Song dynasty. On the other hand, the daughter’s beloved cat departed in the arms of her daughter. …

I returned to Sapporo after a long business trip of 7 nights and 8 days.
Various to-dos are piling up, but yesterday I was here and there with Kami.

On Saturday, I went to the Yamatane Museum of Art to see “Spotted Cat,” a masterpiece by the Japanese painter Takeuchi Seiho, which is designated as an important cultural asset.
It is a representative work by Japanese painter Seiho Takeuchi and is designated as an important cultural property.
I was on a business trip for more than a week and had no time to catch my breath.
On my last day, I strolled around Ebisu and Hiroo until it was time for my flight.
I guess my taste in art is gradually narrowing down, but in my case, my love of history is more pronounced.
In my case, my love of history has become more pronounced, and I have a traditional sensibility and a Japanese “way of seeing things” to reflect.
I have converged on works that reflect the traditional Japanese way of looking at things, perhaps due in part to my growing love of history.
This is exactly the kind of sensitivity that began with Jomon clay figurines.
While also containing humorous elements such as Yamato-e and Birds and Beasts caricatures, it is a major current in the contemporary manga culture.
It is a major flow that has led to the modern manga culture.
For this reason, the exhibitions at the Yamatane Museum of Art and the Tokyo National Museum are homey.
However, the Tokyo National Museum’s exhibition of all treasures is limited to those who have made reservations, so I had to give up.
I couldn’t make plans, so I gave up.
Although there are some aspects that cannot be helped, I do not agree that reservations are the only way to appreciate culture.
I don’t really agree with it.
The busier we are, the more our mental void tends to expand.
I think that culture and art must play a role to heal the void from the bottom up.

I am not a big fan of cats.
Canines are more to my liking.
Cats are more reserved, as they seem to have an inner independence.
However, my daughter’s beloved cat recently passed away.
I was reminded of “Pi-chan,” a cat with a spotted eye, because I was concerned for her feelings.
I happened to come across a painting of the same cat at the Yamatane Museum of Art.
I thought of taking a picture of this painting for my daughter, but decided against it.
I felt as if I was being jolted back into the oblivion of time at last.
This work was painted by the artist Seiho Takeuchi when he was walking in Numazu City.
He encountered this cat sleeping on a cart at a grocery store.
He said, “Ha ha, there is the cat of Emperor Huizong.
〜Huizong was the eighth emperor of the Northern Song dynasty. He excelled in calligraphy and painting and is considered one of the greatest artists of the Northern Song dynasty.
He was one of the greatest artists of the Northern Song dynasty, but his politics were incompetent, and during his reign the people suffered from maladministration and frequent local rebellions such as the Song River Rebellion. 〜The Sung Jiang Rebellion
The famous cat painted by Huizong inspired the artist.
However, the cat was the beloved cat of a grocer’s landlady, and there is a long anecdote about how it came to be in the hands of the painter.
After a long anecdote, the cat was finally moved from Numazu to the artist’s own residence in Kyoto.
After serving as a model for the artist for a while, the cat disappeared without a trace.
The cat was then never seen or heard from again.
The cat was forced to go along with the painter’s whims, but after fulfilling its role, it became the cat’s natural habitat.
After fulfilling its role, did the cat return to its natural way of life as an independent, free-spirited creature?
I heard that my daughter’s beloved cat eventually departed in the midst of my daughter.
I guess no one will ever know who was more happy, the painter’s model cat or my daughter’s cat.

【存続の正念場〜朝日新聞10年で部数半減】



昨日ようやく出張から札幌まで帰還。
1週間を超える出張で東京主体の出張だと感覚の標準モノサシが変わる。
わたしは大学・社会人初期に8年超の東京在住・都心勤続経験があり、
その後も出張での往復経験があるので、
日常感はスイッチのON-OFFみたいな感覚であり続けている。
イマドキの「2地域居住」という人間行動選択肢を身を以て感じているのでしょう。
大学が渋谷にあったので周辺地域の空気感に慣れもあるのですが
最近は恵比寿から広尾方面、日本画の美術館「山種美術館」が
定期参観ポイント化しているのですぐ近接する校舎建築は変わっても
大学キャンパスには足が自然に向いて「学食」で若い人たちの様子に触れるのが
自分確認のひとつの通過習慣化しています(笑)。
そういった習慣を持ち続けているのはありがたいことだと思っています。
一種の東京での句読点的なホーム感なのでしょうか。
山種美術館での日本画鑑賞が最大の娯楽を提供してくれている・・・。
小学1年生の時に描いた絵が、あるコンクールで受賞経験があり
今回も参観しながら、映像ビジュアルと自分の生き方の関連に思いが至って
しばし、内省的な時間を過ごさせていただいた。

おっと、本日のテーマとはかなり乖離のあるイントロ(笑)。
図は朝日新聞の「発行部数減少率」と読売の同数字との比較図。
結果として、朝日新聞は400万部を割り込み10年で部数半減の事実です。
見ていると特異年2015年には例の福島原発「吉田調書」報道のウソで
社長が引責辞任した事件がその前年にあったのですが、
それに反発した読者が大量に離反したけれど、
その後も一貫して減少は加速してきている。
直近2022年の発表ではついに2ケタの大台を軽くクリアしている。
一方で新聞社同業の読売新聞の減少率はそこまでではない。
とくにこの1年での減少率では読売の3倍近くになった。
2015年の減少には前述の因果関係が特定できるだろうけれど、
その年の読売の減少率もほぼ半分程度はあったので、
2022年の読売4.2:朝日11.6という減少率の乖離には
しっかりとした分析が必要だろうと思われますね。
たしかに新聞の紙の商品の減衰は世界共通ではあるけれど、
世界のメディアはバラツキはありつつも
成功してきている媒体はみなWEBの稼ぎ領域を伸ばしている。
わたしどものような雑誌メディアもWEB領域が急伸してきている現実。
基本的にWEB比率を50%以上にするというのが世界のメディア企業の目標。
朝日新聞はその新規領域でも非常にキビシイとされています。
このままの加速度が維持されると今後5年程度でショッキングな事態もあり得る。
まぁ新聞メディアとして政府側から用地取得への便宜提供を受けた
都心一等地の不動産資産が安定収益源であるので
企業としては安定しているのかも知れませんが、
しかしそうであれば本業の人員はほぼ必要がなくなる。・・・
いよいよ正念場という状況なのではと危惧しております。

Asahi Shimbun’s Circulation Halved in 10 Years
The reality of management dependent on real estate assets, historically acquired through political influence, while increasing criticism of the administration. A paradox. …

Yesterday I finally returned to Sapporo from a business trip.
A business trip lasting more than a week and mainly in Tokyo changes the standard moniker of my senses.
I have lived and worked in Tokyo for more than 8 years during my university and early working years, and I have also traveled back and forth on business trips.
I have also traveled back and forth on business trips since then.
I have continued to have a sense of everyday life as if I were turning a switch on and off.
He must have firsthand experience with the human behavior option of “living in two areas” in Imadoki.
My university was located in Shibuya, so I am used to the atmosphere of the surrounding area.
Recently, I have been visiting the Yamatane Museum of Art, a Japanese-style painting museum, in the direction of Hiroo from Ebisu.
The Yamatane Museum of Art, a Japanese-style painting museum, has become a regular visit point.
I have become accustomed to seeing young people in the cafeteria.
It has become a habit for me to check myself (laughs).
I am grateful that I continue to have such a habit.
Is it a kind of punctuation home in Tokyo?
Viewing Japanese paintings at the Yamatane Museum of Art has provided me with the greatest entertainment….
I have won a prize in one of the competitions for a picture I drew when I was in the first grade of elementary school.
While visiting the museum this time, I was reminded of the relationship between the visual images and my way of life, and I spent some time in reflection.
I spent some time reflecting on the relationship between visual images and my life.

Oops, the introduction is quite different from today’s theme (laugh).
The figure shows a comparison between Asahi Shimbun’s “circulation decline rate” and the same figure for Yomiuri.
The result is the fact that Asahi Shimbun’s circulation has halved in 10 years, falling below 4 million copies.
The president of the Asahi Shimbun resigned in 2015 due to the lie of the Fukushima nuclear power plant “Yoshida Report” report.
The previous year, the president of Asahi Newspaper had resigned due to the lie about the Fukushima nuclear power plant’s “Yoshida Report.
The number of readers who reacted to it defected in large numbers, but the decline has been consistently accelerating since then.
The decline has been consistently accelerating since then.
The most recent figures for 2022 show that the number of readers has finally passed the double-digit mark.
On the other hand, the rate of decrease for the Yomiuri Shimbun, a newspaper company in the same industry, is not that high.
In particular, the rate of decline over the past year was nearly three times that of the Yomiuri.
Although the aforementioned causal relationship can be identified for the 2015 decline
the rate of decline of the readership in that year was also almost half of the rate of decline of the
The divergence in the rate of decrease of 4.2 for the Yomiuri and 11.6 for the Asahi in 2022 would require a solid analysis.
It seems to me that a solid analysis would be necessary.
It is true that the decay of newspaper products is the same worldwide, but there are variations among the world’s media.
However, while there are variations in the world’s media, the media that are succeeding are all web-based media.
However, while there are variations among the world’s media, all of the successful media are expanding their online earning areas.
The reality is that even magazine media such as ours are rapidly expanding their web presence.
Basically, the goal of media companies around the world is to increase their web ratio to more than 50%.
The Asahi Shimbun is considered to be in a very tight spot in this new area.
If the current rate of acceleration is maintained, there could be a shocking situation in the next five years or so.
Well, as a newspaper media company, we have been offered favors from the government side to acquire land for the site.
Since real estate assets in prime locations in central Tokyo are a stable source of revenue
As a company, we may be stable.
But if that were the case, there would be almost no need for personnel in the main business. …
I fear that we are finally at a critical juncture.

【ジャパンホームショー最終日・打上げ意見交換】



昨日は朝1番で別件1件のアポを都内で済ませたあと、
最終日のジャパンホームショーに戻りました。
その後、客足の衰える夕方4時過ぎくらいまでは
途中、進行中案件の打合せもあったのですが、
ひっきりなしの会話ラッシュでアタマの整理整頓も追いつかないほど。
今回出展はじっくり説明の必要なAI活用での新事業のご案内ということで
ごく控えめなデコレーションでのご案内にもかかわらず、
多くのみなさんがその内容に興味を持って頂き
強い関心を持っていただけたと深く感謝します。
3日間の会期中に名刺交換は都合70名以上に上り、
その他、名刺交換のない旧知のみなさんとの再会もほぼ同数程度。
前後しての会場外での出会いも多数あったので、
人間関係づくり・再構築としては非常にコスパのいい機会となりました。
今後、札幌に戻ってからいろいろ頂いたご意見を整理して
企画内容に反映させていきたいと思います。

で、会場内で建築知識ビルダーズ・木藤編集長とバッタリ。
今回の出展について10日前くらいに一斉にお知らせしたなかにお名前があり、
さっそくの返信で最終日・エコハウス大賞のイベント開催との知らせ。
終了後の「懇親会」のお誘いがあったので、
疲労困憊の最後の気力を振り絞って参加させていただきました。
エコハウス大賞については建築知識ビルダーズのHPなどをご覧ください。
ただ、開催から回数を重ねてきているけれど、
北海道の関係者には参加への強い動機が持ちにくいイベントではある。
行ってみたら懇親会も北海道人はわたしひとり。
要素技術としての省エネは北海道では完全に地域に根付いているので
その技術要素でユーザーに強くアピールするという必要性に乏しい。
そういう意味では市場環境に於いて寒冷地と温暖地とのギャップが
拡大しているというようにも思われます。
北海道では断熱や気密といった要素技術啓蒙についてほぼ30-40年前くらいが
ピーク時期で、その意識はユーザーも含めて社会に普遍化している。
その上でどういった暮らし方が求められているか、というように
作り手の感度センサーは働いているのだと思います。
日本列島で特異な積雪寒冷という条件下でどういう「シアワセ」があるか、
そういう探究がビルダーには求められているとも言えるでしょうか。
冬の寒さに耐え抜く、不自由をガマンする、みたいな心象風景から
「拡張した花鳥風月」を積極的に住宅としてどう楽しめるのか、
そんな部分が戸建て住宅の作り手には求められていると思うのです。
家の外では寒さも厳しいけれど雪景色は無上に美しくもある。
そして家の中では外気をまったく意識しない、良いいごこちが保たれている。

こういう部分でのコミュニケーションギャップは確かにあり、
いまのところ、この点は放置されてきているともいえる。
今後の「課題」とも言えるのかも知れません。さて。

Final Day of Japan Home Show: Launching Opinion Exchange
Subtle differences in stance between the cold climate of Hokkaido and the warm climate of Japan have created a communication gap. Now, will it be fused? …….

Yesterday, after making one other appointment in Tokyo first thing in the morning
I returned to Japan Home Show on the last day.
After that, I was in the office until about 4:00 p.m., when the number of visitors began to wane.
I had a meeting for an ongoing project on the way to the show.
I was so busy with the constant rush of conversation that I couldn’t even keep my brain in order.
This time, we exhibited our new business using AI, which needs to be explained in detail.
Despite the modest decoration of our booth, many people were interested in the contents of our presentation.
We are deeply grateful to the many visitors who were interested in the contents of the exhibition and showed a strong interest in it.
We are deeply grateful for the strong interest we received.
During the three days of the exhibition, more than 70 business cards were exchanged.
We also had about the same number of reunions with old acquaintances who had not yet exchanged business cards.
There were also many encounters outside the venue before and after the event.
It was a very cost-effective opportunity for building and rebuilding relationships.
After returning to Sapporo, we will organize the feedback we received and reflect it in our future plans.
I would like to reflect them in our future plans.

I bumped into Mr. Kito, the editor-in-chief of Architectural Knowledge Builders, in the exhibition hall.
His name was on the notice we sent out about 10 days before the exhibition, and he immediately responded with a message to the effect that he was going to be there on the last day of the exhibition.
He immediately replied that the Eco-House Award event would be held on the last day of the exhibition.
I was invited to a “reception” after the event.
I was so exhausted that I gathered up my last bit of energy and joined the party.
For more information about the Eco-House Grand Prize, please refer to the HP of Architectural Knowledge Builders.
However, although the event has been held many times since its inception
It is an event that is difficult for people in Hokkaido to have a strong motivation to participate.
When I went to the reception, I was the only one from Hokkaido.
Energy conservation as an elemental technology is completely rooted in the local community in Hokkaido.
There is little need to strongly appeal to users with this technological element.
In this sense, the gap between cold and warm regions in the market environment seems to be widening.
In this sense, it seems that the gap between cold and warm regions is widening in the market environment.
In Hokkaido, awareness of elemental technologies such as thermal insulation and airtightness peaked about 30-40 years ago.
This awareness has become universal in society, including users.
The sensitivity sensors of the makers are working to find out what kind of living style is required.
I believe that the sensitivity sensor of the creator is working.
What kind of “happiness” can be found under the unique cold and snowy conditions of the Japanese archipelago?
I think it could be said that builders are required to explore this kind of thing.
From the mental landscape of enduring the cold of winter and putting up with inconvenience
How can we actively enjoy the “extended Kacho Fu Fugetsu” as a residence?
I think this is what is required of the makers of detached houses.
Outside the house, the cold is severe, but the snowy scenery is beautiful.
And inside the house, the residents are not conscious of the outside air at all, and a good feeling of comfort is maintained.

There is certainly a communication gap in these areas.
It can be said that this point has been neglected so far.
It may be said that this is an “issue” for the future. Now.

【再会・出会い・情報交流 in ジャパンホームショー】




昨日も引き続き「Replan住まいナビ」情報拡散のために営為PR活動。
なんですが、中日ということからか、客足はやや鈍化。
一昨日は初参加にもかかわらず、猫の手も借りたかったのですが、
他のブースや講演会などに聴講参加もできる状態でした。

ということでしたが、ややゆとりがあったことで
普段なら時間をかけてアポしなければならないような人と遭遇できる。
集団討論会的なイベント講師参加のリクルートの池本洋一さんと再会。
新建ハウジングのイベント会場でなんと一番前の席で聴講できた。
・・・まぁ、それくらい人出が少なめであった証明。
池本さんとは、もうかれこれ7−8年前以来。
氏は最近はいろいろなテレビメディアなどに住宅コメンテーターとして
出演されるようになっていますが、わたしが初めてお目に掛かったのは
まだそういう露出はまったくされていなかった頃。
ただFacebookのアカウントは開かれていて、
「そういうことなら」ということで友だちになった経緯。
わたし的には業界の巨人企業リクルートさんの動向を聞かせて頂きたく
当時東京駅八重洲口すぐ隣の高層オフィスの懐深く飛び込んだ。
「三木さんは商売敵だから(笑)」みたいなジャブを浴びつつ
めげずに深層的な対話を隔意なくさせていただいて嬉しかったものです。
その後、あの緑のスーモキャラと同色の服を心がけるほどに
広告塔的な役割もこなされながら活躍されていることをはるかに側聞。
そのあたりの動機・経緯なども目を合わせ話すと伝わってくるものがある。
会場で若干会話した後、弊社の「Replan住まいナビ」ブースにも立ち寄って頂けた。
この新事業についてもオープンな姿勢で対話できました。
今後とも情報を交換したいと申し入れたところこころよく対応姿勢を示された。
隔意ないその対応に深く感謝いたします。

その後の講演会場では一地方メディアとしての弊誌Replanに
連載記事をもう10年近く執筆頂いている東大准教授の前真之先生と久々遭遇。
新建ハウジング・YKKさんと協働される「性能向上リノベ」の討論会。
広報資料的にまとめられた内容ではなくそのコンセプトの核心について、
討論対話のなかから浮かび上がってくるものがわかる。
「性能向上リノベ」の現在地点の状況と、そのさきがけになっている
東京・西東京市の有力ビルダー、岡庭建設の池田氏とも知遇を得られました。
前真之先生には事前に「Replan住まいナビ」の経緯もお知らせしているので
「ブースに行きます」という言葉も頂きました。
今回の新事業については北海道大学工学部のAI研究のみなさんと
同じ北海道大学工学部の室内環境系の森太郎先生が深く関与していただいたので
新住協の鎌田紀彦先生からも深い興味を示されたように
前先生にもご意見を伺わせていただきたいと願っていたところ。

Reunion, Encounter, and Information Exchange in Japan Home Show
Reunited with Recruit Yoichi Ikemoto. We exchanged information with each other. We also had a real meeting with Dr. Masayuki Mae for the first time in a while. Kick-off of the exchange with a good response. We had a good time.

Yesterday, we continued our PR activities to spread the “Replan Sumai Navi” information.
However, the number of visitors slowed down a little, perhaps because it was the middle of the day.
The day before yesterday, despite being the first time to participate, we wanted to help the cat.
I was also able to attend other booths and lectures.

This meant that I had somewhat more time to spare.
I could encounter people with whom I would normally have to take time to make appointments.
I met again with Yoichi Ikemoto of Recruit, a lecturer participating in a group discussion-type event.
I was able to sit in the front row of the Shinken Housing event hall.
I was able to sit in the front row at the Shinken Housing event…well, that’s how small the turnout was.
I have not seen Mr. Ikemoto since seven or eight years ago.
Mr. Ikemoto has recently been appearing as a housing commentator on various TV media.
I first met Mr. Ikemoto when I was a child.
I first met Mr. Ikemoto when he had not yet been exposed in such a way.
However, he had opened a Facebook account
I was just a Facebook account holder, so I decided to make friends with him.
I wanted to hear what Recruit, one of the giants in the industry, was up to.
I jumped into the bosom of the high-rise office right next to the Yaesu exit of Tokyo Station.
I was jabbed with a “Mr. Miki is my business rival.
(laugh), I was happy to be able to engage in a deep dialogue with him without any illusions.
After that, I even tried to wear the same color clothes as the green Sumo character.
I was so pleased to hear that he has been playing an active role as an advertiser.
I could feel his motives and background when I looked at him and talked with him.
After a short conversation at the venue, they stopped by our “Replan Sumai Navi” booth.
We were able to have an open dialogue about this new business.
When we offered to continue exchanging information with them, they responded with open arms.
We are deeply grateful for their openness.

In the lecture hall afterward, I wrote a series of articles for Replan magazine, a local media outlet, for nearly 10 years.
I met Dr. Masayuki Mae, an associate professor at the University of Tokyo, who has been writing a series of articles for Replan magazine, a local media outlet, for nearly 10 years now.
The discussion was about “Renovation for Better Performance,” which is a joint project with Shinken Housing and YKK.
The content of the discussion was not a public relations document, but the core of the concept, which emerged from the discussion and dialogue.
The discussion was not a summary of publicity materials, but rather a discussion of the core of the concept, and what emerged from the dialogue.
The current status of “performance-enhancing renovations” and the pioneers of this concept.
We were also able to make the acquaintance of Mr. Ikeda of Okaniwa Construction, a leading builder in Nishi-Tokyo, Tokyo.
I informed Dr. Masayuki Mae of the background of “Replan Sumai Navi” in advance, so he said, “I’ll be at the booth.
He also said, “I will visit your booth.
This new project was discussed with the AI research team from the Faculty of Engineering at Hokkaido University and the indoor environment team from the same Faculty of Engineering at Hokkaido University.
Dr. Taro Mori, a professor of indoor environment at the same Hokkaido University Faculty of Engineering, was deeply involved in this new project.
Dr. Norihiko Kamata of Shinjyukyo expressed his deep interest in the project.
I was hoping to hear from the former professor as well.
He is scheduled to attend a lecture today as well, so I would like to start this kind of “exchange” with him before and after the lecture.
I would like to start this kind of “exchange” with him before and after his lecture.
I am very happy to have made a big “profit”. Thank you very much.

【ジャパンホームショー「Replan住まいナビ」情報拡散】



昨日東京ビッグサイトでのジャパンホームショー初日で終日PR活動。
やはり日本最大の住宅専門イベントらしく全国から多くのみなさんが来場。
多くの旧知のみなさんも顔を見せてくださっていましたが、
はるかに多くの新しい出会いの機会がのべつ幕なしで連続します。
決して派手なディスプレイ装飾でもない地味なブースですが、
それでも多くのみなさんが注意深く足を止めてくださり
話すウチに「面白い着眼の企画ですね・・・」と言ってくださり
資料を求められていきます。
1名のスタッフは会場外でのアポイントが入っていて
出たり入ったりで、わたしを含め3人のスタッフで応対させて頂きましたが、
こういった新規の出会いの機会を全国を歩いて自ら求めていくとすれば
たいへんな労力と時間がかかるものと思います。
「地域型メディア」ではありますが、WEBが主戦場での新・情報メディアツール。
3日間の間で名刺は200枚くらい持参していますが
初日だけでかなり減ってしまった・・・。途中からこのことに気付いて
なるべくスタッフに説明・名刺交換を引き継ぐことにして
わたしはどちらかというと「ファーストコンタクト」係を担っていました。

来場者は日本国内が主流ではありますが、
その他のアジア地域からの来場者も多いようで、
わたしが対応しただけでも4組のみなさんと遭遇。
「a,chottodake speak English・・・」みたいなボディトーク主体で対応。
これはこれでテンションがぐっと上がる。
なかなか出てこない英単語ですが(笑)少し慣れてくると
「なんとなく伝わるだろう」くらいの英単語で切り抜けてみる。
そうすると予想以上の笑いの取れる好反応(笑)。
考えて見るとコミュニケーションではそういう部分の方が大切で
具体的な「商談」みたいなものはメールで十分に成立する。
それよりも「こいつは憎めないヤツだ」くらいの掴みのほうが重要。
ファーストコンタクトなので「Please mail talking」みたいな対応。
日本語名刺だけ用意していましたが、本日は英文表記の名刺も持参予定。
さて、今日明日と2日間でどれくらいの新規接触があるか、
一期一会からの情報交換発展が見通せていくか、興味津々であります。

夕方閉場後、スタッフと打ち合わせを兼ねて新橋で会食。
わたしは神さま好きなので、スタッフを連れて「烏森神社」に久々参拝。
けっこう好きなポイントで新橋での食事ではまずはこの地神さまへご挨拶。
「こんな神社が歓楽街ど真ん中にあるんだ・・・」との驚愕ぶり。
たしかに周辺のネオンサインの洪水の中では神社の神々しさは格別。
「烏森神社」らしく出会いに感謝しつつ商売繁盛を深く祈願していました(笑)。

Japan Home Show “Replan Sumai Navi” Information Spreading
Tension is at its maximum at the first contact, leaving the explanation to the staff and immersing oneself in the encounter mechanism. Pilgrimage to Shinbashi Karasumori-sha for business prosperity. Business prosperity.

Yesterday was the first day of the Japan Home Show at Tokyo Big Sight, and we spent the entire day doing PR activities.
As one would expect from Japan’s largest event dedicated to housing, many people came from all over the country.
Many old acquaintances also showed up, but there were far more opportunities to meet new people.
However, there were many more opportunities to meet new people without a single break.
The booth was not a flashy display, but it was a modest one.
Even so, many people stopped by carefully to talk with us.
As I talked with them, they said, “You have an interesting point of view on this project…” and asked me for information.
They asked us for information.
One staff member had an appointment outside the venue.
One staff member had an appointment outside the venue and was in and out of the room, so there were three of us, including myself, to respond to the request.
It would take a lot of effort and time if we had to walk all over the country to seek new meeting opportunities like this by ourselves.
It would take a lot of effort and time to seek out these new opportunities by ourselves.
Although it is a “local media,” it is a new information media tool with the Internet as its main battlefield.
I brought about 200 business cards during the three days.
I lost quite a few on the first day alone… I realized this during the course of the event.
I decided to hand over the explanation and exchange of business cards to the staff as much as possible.
I was more of a “first contact” person.

Although most of the visitors were from Japan, there were many visitors from other parts of Asia.
I was also in charge of exchanging business cards with other staff members.
I met 4 groups of visitors just by myself.
I was able to respond to them mainly with body talk like “a,chottodake speak English…”.
This was a good way to raise the tension.
It’s not easy to come up with English words (laughs), but once you get used to it, you can get used to it.
I try to get through with English words that I think will be understood somehow.
When I do this, I get a good response with more laughter than I expected (laugh).
When I think about it, that part of communication is more important.
When I think about it, that part of communication is more important, and specific “business meetings” can be done well enough by e-mail.
It is more important to get a “I can’t hate this guy” kind of response.
Since it is the first contact, I responded with something like “Please mail talking.
I had prepared only Japanese business cards, but today I plan to bring English business cards as well.
Now, let’s see how many new contacts we can make today, tomorrow, and over the next two days.
It will be interesting to see how many new contacts we will make over the next two days, and whether we will be able to see the development of information exchange from one meeting to the next.

After closing in the evening, I had dinner with the staff in Shinbashi for a meeting.
Since I am a God lover, I took the staff to visit the Karasumori Shrine for the first time in a while.
I like this shrine so much that when we dine in Shinbashi, we first pay our respects to the local deity.
The staff was astonished to see such a shrine in the middle of the entertainment district.
It is true that the shrine is exceptionally divine amidst the flood of neon signs in the area.
I was thankful for the encounter and deeply prayed for business prosperity, just like at Karasumori Shrine (laugh).
