Novelist Mariko Asabuki wrote a few words on Hito-obisen.
An opening passage from her book "Tojita Me (Eyes Closed)" and a short message to accompany a gift of sweets to a friend.
The idea of sharing words without being too formal stayed with me after my conversation with Asabuki-san.

作家の朝吹真理子さんが、一帯箋に言葉を書いてくださいました。
ご自身の著書『閉じた目』の冒頭の一節と、知人にお菓子を贈るときに添える短い言葉。
「かしこまらずに言葉を送りたい」。朝吹さんとの会話の中で、印象に残った言葉です。

Currently on display at TAKEO PAPER SHOW 50 “MARK THE MOMENT” is Hito-obisen, a new interpretation of the traditional Japanese ippitsusen, a small sheet of paper for writing a short message.
Hito-obisen takes the form of a long, narrow strip of paper. Tear off just enough of the paper along the perforations to share the words you wish to share, moisten it with water, and attach it to a gift or an object. It can be used as a small label or wrapped around something like a ribbon.
For everyday gestures or special occasions, a little thought for someone else can give familiar gifts and ordinary objects a more personal expression.
To cherish the time spent thinking of someone and putting thoughts into words, we chose a paper called Fūkō for its beautiful texture and writing quality. Accordion-folded and stored in a small box, the paper features delicate grass patterns printed with mica ink, designed to quietly accompany the handwritten words.
Once the paper is used up, the box can be refilled with a new strip and used again.

TAKEO PAPER SHOW 50「祝と礼―MARK THE MOMENT」にて、「一帯箋（ひとおびせん）」という作品を展示しています。
一帯箋は、帯状の一筆箋。伝えたい言葉の分だけ、細長い紙を目打ち穴に沿ってちぎり、水で濡らして貼り添える。短く貼っても帯のように巻いてもいい。
日常にも特別な日にも、その時の気持ちや相手を想い工夫することで、見慣れた贈り物や身近なものが、自分らしい表情を持ちはじめます。
誰かを想い、言葉をしたためる。そんな時間を大切にできるよう、書き心地と風合いの良い「風光」という紙を選び、蛇腹状に折り畳んで小さな箱に収めました。
草の文様は静かに言葉に寄り添えるよう、雲母刷りで仕立てました。使い終えたら新しい一帯箋と入れ替え、繰り返し使うことができます。

For TAKEO PAPER SHOW 50, “MARK THE MOMENT,” I worked with novelist Mariko Asabuki on the theme of 𝘪𝘱𝘱𝘪𝘵𝘴𝘶𝘴𝘦𝘯—small sheets of paper for writing short notes.
It sounded simple enough, but once we started, it turned out to be surprisingly challenging.
Cutting, writing, tearing, folding, pasting, pulling—through all these experiments, our 𝘪𝘱𝘱𝘪𝘵𝘴𝘶𝘴𝘦𝘯 gradually took shape.
Through my conversations with Mariko, I found myself thinking more and more about how we communicate with one another.
I hope you'll have a chance to see our work at the exhibition.

TAKEO PAPER SHOW 50「祝と礼―MARK THE MOMENT」では、
僕は作家の朝吹真理子さんと共に一筆箋のお題に取り組みました。
いざ一筆箋と言われると、これがなかなか難しい。
切ったり、書いたり、ちぎったり、折ったり、貼ったり、引っ張ったり、
あれこれしながら出来上がった一筆箋。
朝吹さんとの会話を通して、いつしか人と人とのコミュニケーションのあり方を考えていました。
ぜひ会場でご覧いただけると嬉しいです。

TAKEO PAPER SHOW 50
「祝と礼―MARK THE MOMENT」
に参加します。

祝（ほぎ）と礼（れい）、つまり
祝祭性と礼節は、人が織りなしてきた文化の中で
重要な儀礼であり、心のあり方を示すものです。
紙という、白くたおやかな物質に触発されて
人々は祝と礼にまつわる様々なかたちを
生み出してきたと考えられています。
かたちは心の現れであり、心はかたちの
様相として表現されてきたのです。
TAKEO PAPER SHOWの第50回目の節目に際して、
紙が人間の心の中に生み出してきた、
晴れやかな、そして慎ましいイマジネーションを
今一度、呼び起こしてみたいと考えています。

Hogi and Rei
Humans have woven the spirit of festivity and thankfulness into many significant cultural rituals that express our state of mind. The white and graceful material we know as paper is thought to have inspired people to create the forms of the many and diverse items we commonly associate with celebration and gratitude (hogi and rei). Form expresses spirit, and spirit is expressed through aspects of form. On the occasion of the 50th Takeo Paper Show, we would like to call upon the clear and simple imagination that paper brings out in the human heart once again.

First time at Lake Hemet. Camping again after a long break.
It rained on and off, and the colors of the sky, the shapes of the clouds, and the surface of the lake kept changing.
I found myself looking at the sky longer than usual. At night, I sat by the campfire.

久しぶりのキャンプ、Lake Hemetへ。
雨が降ったり止んだり。空の色も、雲の形も、水面の表情も、そのたびに変わって見飽きない。
いつもより長く空を眺めて、夜は焚き火。

I had three posters from Kazumasa Nagai’s “LIFE” series framed.

His work has given me so much courage over the years.
I hope I can give something back through my own design work.

Now, where should I hang them in our LA studio?
I’ll enjoy figuring that out for a while.

永井一正先生の「LIFE」シリーズ、3連のポスターを額装しました。

永井先生の仕事からは、たくさんの勇気をもらってきました。
いただいたものを、自分もデザインで返していけたらと思います。

さて、LAのスタジオのどこに飾ろうか。 しばらく楽しく悩みます。
