なぎコレクション
A disorganized collection based upon random association, as usual💫
💫✨Inspired by the following two independent articles
by ふらっと神社様:🙏
by 輪郭の手前様🙏
🟪収集癖
I'm undoubtedly one of the last people to try decluttering😓
However, I suspect that 断捨離 (decluttering or minimalism) would not create a beautiful book like the following💙
Quoting "The Antilibrary: The Hidden Value of Unread Books" by fs.blog
The legendary Italian writer Umberto Eco had over 50,000 books in his private library.
When asked why so many, he had this to say:
It is foolish to think that you have to read all the books you buy, as it is foolish to criticize those who buy more books than they will ever be able to read. It would be like saying that you should use all the cutlery or glasses or screwdrivers or drill bits you bought before buying new ones.
🟪那岐駅(JR因美線)

🟪岡山県奈義町
According to the homepage of Nagi town 奈義町, it is located at the southern foothills of Mount Nagi 那岐山, a prominent peak in the Chūgoku Mountains, in northeastern Okayama Prefecture, straddling the prefectural border with Tottori Prefecture.
I have never visited this town, but I noticed its name when I read the article on Nagi Shrine by ふらっと神社様 mentioned in the beginning.
🟪梛の木
⛩️住吉神社：兵庫県加西市鎮座（参拝日：2023年7月9日）
I walked to Sumiyoshi Shrine from Hōjō-machi station 北条町駅 while raining so hard that the roads were flooded☔

I took a bus from Tōkyō station directly to Sobataka Shrine. The weather was exceptionally good🌞
🟪凪景
In the solo exhibition by Dr. Naoki Kimura back in April ~ May 2023, the following title was highly fascinating : lullscape - 凪景

The following tweet in X (Twitter) reminded me of the above unforgettable photos by Nagi Yoshida:

🟪黒薙駅
Back in June 2010. I took an overnight express bus to Toyama, and then took Kurobe Gorge Railway 黒部峡谷鉄道 between Unazuki 宇奈月 and Keyakidaira 欅平.
Kuronagi station 黒薙駅 is a passenger station on this railway.
🟪美しい日本語
Nagi is placed at the top of the list of 90 beautiful Japanese words.
N.B. This site contains questionable words, on which I'll write near future😶
🟪1968年10月以前の記憶から…
Long time ago (1964 ~ 1968), JNR (Japan National Railway) operated a limited express named "ゆうなぎ" Yūnagi between Shin-Ōsaka 新大阪 and Uno 宇野 in Okayama Prefecture.
I don't remember the detail, but the name was unforgettable, which is one reason why I've been attached to なぎ nagi in general.
Here are two articles for reference:
