終於盼到可以出走的日子，從疫情到連日下雨，商品照幾乎都在室內拍。 沒有計畫就是最好的計畫。 前天朋友的論文研究問了我：「旅行時會計畫嗎？」 我會在出發前查了一堆資料，訂下第一天住宿，然後一出發就把這件事丟著，沒人知道接下來會發生什麼事。 想起有次和朋友去菲律賓潛水，我們只預訂第二天要到 Puerto Galera island ，連第一天要住哪裡都還沒決定。 結果就在機場check in 時，後面的大哥向我們搭話，因為我們就一人一個30公升的小包，太不像要出國。 台灣的大哥說他要回去菲律賓找老婆，聊一聊他又向我們前面的菲律賓移工聊天，她要回家，她的家剛剛好在我們要去Puerto Galera 島的中間，大哥便幫我們問了，可不可以順道載我們一程。 原本那個她不是很確定，直到她check in 時發現她行李過重，我們答應幫她帶一雙要給小孩的鞋子，下飛機後她熱情的邀約我們搭她家的便車，全家人開著嘟嘟車，一起來迎接她。 她問我們要去哪？ 我們什麼也還沒訂，直說：「最便宜的旅館就好了，我們一早就要去搭船。」 全家人七嘴八舌的最後把我們帶回家，還把家裡那在客廳唯一的床讓給了我們，一早還載我們到巴士站。 出發前我們查了交通工具，卻在出發後一點都沒用上，但這就是旅行好玩的地方，你永遠不知道下一步是如何，就算知道了，有點總是有各種意外，才能讓每次旅行都來得不同。 / 超喜歡這次的拍攝，有了最佳model @yuanyuanlovesmusic 整個包都變得超有活力！我最喜歡這顆包有著藍藍的裙擺，非常俏皮です！ 歡迎預訂！ #廢話最多的織女 #編織 #鉤織 #crochet #crochetbag

I listened to Bad Bunny’s @badbunnypr song “Yonaguni” on Spotify. Last year, his “DÁKITI” took the world by storm, and in the past few months I kept hearing the Japanese phrase “doko ni imasuka” on Spotify, which piqued my interest. Upon listening to the song carefully, I became aware that it was the one called “Yonaguni”. Within Japan there are many listeners who are curious about the Japanese lyrics Bad Bunny sings. Things are heating up here, with blogs popping up exploring questions such as: “Why Japanese?” and “Why Yonaguni?” A singer from Puerto Rico sings about the exoticism of Yonaguni Island in faraway Japan, and I, as a Japanese, am moved by the wonder of it. It's a very uplifting, fluffy experience. I have managed to gain fans around the world for my work that refines and sublimates Japanese manga and anime culture as art, but after the moving experience of listening to "Yonaguni", I wanted to incorporate a mysterious mood of exoticism into my work as well. These days I am deeply involved in the world of Japanese ceramics, in which indigenous, mucky “history of Japan” seems to wriggle. There is an exoticism to it, as though I am traveling through a history unknown to the rest of the world. I hope to post about things of that nature here from time to time. Please also check out @tonari_no_murata and @tonari_no_totoya for ceramics projects I am involved in. translation: @tabi_the_fat
