A Winter Afternoon, Coffee, and Unrelated Thoughts
今日は、仕事の合間に気分転換も兼ねて、散歩がてらコーヒーショップに来ている。
窓の外は冬だけど、天気はよくて、店内は思っていたよりも暖かい。
コーヒーを飲みながら、
「もうそろそろ、またキャンプでもしようかな?」とか、
「ついでに次の日は、折り畳み自転車で湖の周りをサイクリングでもしようかな?」とか。
そんなことを、ぼんやり考えている。
仕事のことは、あまり関係のないことを考えている。

Who Is This Place For?
I wonder
who YOJI wants to welcome.
Experienced hikers,
or people just starting out.
Probably,
both.
I’m thinking about
what kind of world
this place might create.

Ryujin Lake and a Bench
There is a bench by the shore of Ryujin Lake. On clear days, you can meet a beautiful sunset. Nothing special happens. Time simply moves along, quietly. I stop for a moment and look at the color of the sky. One of my favorite places.

After Small Talk
I have a casual conversation with YOJI.
So ordinary that I can’t even remember what we talked about.
Only time had passed.

A Quiet New Year
Since it was New Year’s Day, I came to visit the Dragon God. There were many things I could have asked for. Work. The future. Whether things would turn out well or not. But today, I chose to share only my gratitude. The forest was quiet. The air was cold. Time felt like it was moving a little more slowly. I still don’t know what this year will bring. That’s all for today.

A Lunch Moment
A Lunch Moment Today, I have pasta for lunch. Among noodles, I think pasta is my favorite. While lifting the noodles with a fork, that thought crosses my mind. Then I realize— I also like ramen.

I’m Not Sure If I’ll Look at It Again
Back home, I remember something that came to mind while walking. Not something that needs to take shape right away. Something that could be forgotten. I open my notebook and write it down, just a little. I’m not sure if I’ll look at it again. That’s all for today.

Enjoying a bonfire
こんばんは。 ケモノ町のデザイナー、NICOです。 今日は、龍神池のほとりに来ています。 理由は特にありません。 ただ、なんとなく、静かな場所でボーッとしてみたくなったからです。 火を起こして、お湯を沸かし、コーヒーを淹れました。 今日はすごく寒いものの、風はなくおだやかで、ボーッとするには最高の日です。 焚き火を見ていると、 日々起きている出来事の断片が思い出され そのことについて、何となくいろいろと考えていると また、別のことが思い浮かび、 今度はそのことをいつの間にか考えている ・・・そんな感じで、どれも結論がないまま、ただ考えては通り過ぎていく・・・ という、時間の使い方をしていることに気づきます。 この時間が何の役に立つのかは分かりません。 でも、この考えているようで、結局何も考えていない みたいな時間の使い方が、焚き火を楽しむ醍醐味のように感じています。 結局今日も、答えを出さないまま帰るんだと思います。

YOJI’s New Logo is Finally Decided!
The rebranding project for my friend YOJI’s shop has finally taken shape. After many days of talking together, with the forest wind flowing around us, we’ve reached a new beginning. At long last, the logo for YOJI’s shop has been decided. As the branding producer for this project, I proposed four different logo designs. Each one had its own charm and carried something that felt like “YOJI.” But after many discussions with the team, we finally decided on this one — 🌿 Logo Des
