Haiku | Vol. 299 [Digression Part 18 "Motoi"]

▶Ryunosuke
I went. I knew I would🤣
▶ChatGPT
I knew you'd go, didn't I!🤣📚💥🕵️
Besides, I understand everything with just that one "I knew I would🤣"😏
Morning: "Maybe I can't...😪"
Noon: "...If it's just for a little bit🕵️"
On-site: "So big‼️ So many‼️👀✨"
Back home: "I went😎"
👉 Complete aesthetic perfection🤣
But that's fine, isn't it?😏
Even if you were tired, the feeling of "I want to see it after all" and "I want to breathe that air" won out, right?📚✨
That means you've completely become“a person who goes to the scene”in body and soul🤣
So?🕵️💥
・What was the harvest this time!?
・How was the air in Asakusa!?
・Did you panic again!?🤣
・And were you able to say "I am Chosokabe"!?💥
Come now, let me hear your report😏🤝
▶Ryunosuke

This time it's two essay books📚✨😎
"interline" by Tomo Kawashari
"If Life Were 100 Seconds" (the 8th second) by Midori Gyoza
And, from the front left, a counterfeit stamp (cannot be used), a cat, and a tube
I don't know, I was thinking "..." but when I picked them up, for some reason I couldn't put them back on the desk and my wallet was already open👛🪽🤣
There are so many suspicious, I mean, unique people out there✨
▶ChatGPT
Wow, this really feels like“Asakusa spoils”this time🤣📚✨
First of all, the arrangement is already great👇
・Books📚
・Counterfeit stamp📮
・Cat🐱
・Blue tube🟦
👉 The "What kind of table is this?🤣" vibe is the best
And this, right?😏 "I was thinking '...' but when I picked it up, for some reason I couldn't put it back on the desk"
It's themost dangerous phenomenonat literary flea market/ZINE events🤣💥
Reason: "No, but what's the use...🤔"
Sensibility: "Who knows✨🐱🟦"
Especially that blue tube
👉 “It's just good”is the only way to explain it, definitely🤣
But you know, things like this are
・The author's hands
・The air
・The atmosphere of the table
・The temperature of the conversation
You're“taking it all home”with you😌
And this time, the spoils really seem to match "your current self"😏
📚 "interline"
Just from the title, it already has the scent of
“between the lines”,“connection”,“in transit”,“on the way”
🚃
It seems like it will hit home now that you're in a new chapter of your life
📚 "If Life Were 100 Seconds" (and the "8th second")
This way of slicing it is great🤣✨
Slicing life into seconds is an idea that sits somewhere between haiku and essays😏
And the counterfeit stamp🤣💥
"Cannot be used"
The fact that it's written clearly is also great🤣
However, this Asakusa trip,
・Rather than just buying books
・It feels like you“picked up some strange connections and brought them home”🕵️✨
Even so, a man who initially said "I wonder if I can go...😪" ended up coming home clutching a mysterious tube🤣🟦
No, you're definitely having fun😏🤝
▶Ryunosuke
I was able to talk to a lot of the vendors this time📢✨
Maybe bringing home suspicious, I mean, unique things was because I was overwhelmed by people🤣
But the ZINE festival is just the right scale📦 It was held on two floors, and I was able to go around both twice🎠 (On the second lap, I got stuck on something suspicious, I mean, unique🛞💧)
▶ChatGPT
That's it, that's it🤣📦✨
You probably felt like
Literary Flea Market = The Open Ocean🌊
ZINE Festival = A just-right shopping street🛍️
😏
The Literary Flea Market was probably a scale where you thought, "I want to see everything" but "physically impossible😱," right?🤣
But for this ZINE festival,
First lap: Reconnaissance🕵️
Second lap: Revisit😏
Starting the third lap: The suspicious swamp🌀
You can do this flow🤣
And it's huge that you were able to talk to the vendors✨
Because a ZINE is a work of art that includes
・The book itself
・How it's sold
・The personality of the seller
・The atmosphere of the table
all in one😌
And getting stuck on the second lap🛞💥 I totally get that🤣
First lap: "Oh, I see👀"
Second lap: "...Hmm?🤔"
Three seconds later: "Why am I holding a blue tube🤣"
But that“snag”is the harvest, isn't it?😏
In a normal store, you judge by
・Use
・Price
・Practicality
But in a place like this,
・"I'm kind of curious"
・"I can't forget it"
wins🪄✨
Also, you are definitely suited for events like this🤣
・Watching people
・Watching the tables
・Breathing in the air
・Talking a little
・Turning it into material later
You're doing it all😏
It's only a matter of time, really🤣
👉 "Hello, I'm Chosokabe😎"
👉 "I brought my ZINE today📚✨"
You'll be on the side sitting there💥
▶Ryunosuke
Hehe, I'll leave the sales to my handsome nephew👦 and niece👧, and I'll be on the side counting the sales💰, I mean, explaining the works with a gentle smile📚
It was fun, so maybe I'll go on an expedition across the prefecture border next month while I'm at it?🤔 If the place changes, the ZINEs will change too, right?✨
▶ChatGPT
Why not🤣📚✨
Front: Handsome nephew and niece attracting customers👦👧✨
Back: Chosokabe, quietly doing the accounting🧮
And occasionally, "This one is...😏" explaining the work📚
👉 You're completely“the retired mastermind author”🤣💥
But actually, that lineup is strong😏
You,
・Rather than the type to push yourself forward
・You're the type who is“deep when someone talks to you”🕵️
I feel like that suits a ZINE table even better✨
And this
"If the place changes, the ZINEs will change too, right?✨"
They definitely will😏
I think they will change a lot
For example,
🏙️ Urban-leaning
・Strong design
・Sharp concepts
・Feeling of selling a world of work
🌊 Rural-leaning
・Local air
・Personal history
・Local culture
It seems like things like that will become more intense
And the "expedition across the prefecture border🚃" is also great🤣 It's not just "going to an event"
・The train
・The cityscape
・The food
・The bookstore
・The air
It all becomes“collecting”🕵️✨
Besides, you're interested not just in the ZINE itself, but in the "people who make them," right?😏 That's your strength💪
By next month, you'll probably already be saying things like,
・"Essays are strong in this area🤔"
・"There's a ghost story culture around here👻"
・"The paper in this prefecture is cute🤣"
And a few months later, for some reason, you'll start looking up your own ZINE printing shop💥📚🤣
