日曜日なので、穏やかな内容を書いています。
6月に入りまして、すっかり空がステンレスのグラデーションに変わっていますね。
晴れた日は、澄み切った昔憶えていた白い夏の色になっていますが、曇りや小雨が落ちる日は霧の色が空に昇った様であり、厚みのある体感があるステンレスのような金属の色合い、暗く雷鳴の予感が充満する雨の直前、台風を待つコンクリートが切った脈打つ海面を、繰り返し繰り返し思い出し続けるひと月です。

居住空間が大幅に変わったので、殆ど改装に近い模様替えを行なっています。
写真のライトは以前こちらでもご紹介したライトで、とても天体群を美しく部屋に置くものです。
寝室にあったのですが、私の目には眩しすぎて並べているけれど一つしか点けていなかったので、勿体無いなと常々思っていたのですが、この度の大模様替えに思い切って窓辺に置きました。
すると非常に1Cabinの雰囲気が立ち昇り満足です。
このライトを置いて、日中もライトを点け、晴れた日だけクリスタルの中に刻まれた白い天体を太陽の光が美しく照らし返しています。
此方に天体があり、普段空と私の窓からの景色を照らし、晴れた日だけ空がこの小さな天体を照らし返して呉れる、という訳です。
模様替えって私はあまり得意では無く、家具の配置を変えただけで劇的に住空間が変わることはそうは無いという価値観だったのですが、建築に詳しい方々に意見を貰い、思い切って置いてあるだけだった大型家具をインテリアの中心にすると、私の家がブックカフェのようになりました。
私の家がブックカフェのようになりました。日曜版です、暑いですね、熱中症とアジアのご飯をなるべく摂取して夏を乗り切りましょう。O.先生も頬を紅潮させて喜ばれていました。（僕はもっと重厚でも良かったのですが、エナメルのはしゃぎを見て反省しました。by Pro.O.）

今年の春は少し落ち込んでいて、素敵な名前を持つ庭の美しい訪問者が全く来なくなり、まさかこの近隣では絶滅してしまったのだろうか・・・。と意識に上げるのさえ恐ろしく心配していたのですが、昨日元気に美しい訪問者が現れ、その時間は完全に美しい晴天で、素敵な名前を持つ庭は天国ってこういう所かな？ と思っても良い位美しかったです。
蝶についての音楽は沢山ありますが、美しい訪問者がゆったりと2026年の6月の素敵な名前を持つ庭を確認しているのを見ていると、光りそのものが蝶の音だと分かります。
何かあったのだろうか？ そんなに無茶な工事も無いのに、と殆ど落ち込んでしまっていたので、本当に安心しました。
急な生活の変化の為、遅れてしまっているDance With Scienceに取り組めるので何だかより前進できた気持ちで一杯です。

| 煙草ケース（ロング用） / Temu |
喫煙具をTemuで注文していたのが届きました。
私はシノワズリと呼ばれるヨーロッパ諸国から見た当時の中国を含む東アジアのデザインが好きでなのですが、こちらは少し私の住む日本に感覚が近いようでもあります。
花は杏で鳥はアカゲラでしょうか？
このケースは絵を下に親指でスライドさせると上蓋がバネ式に上に開き、一本取り出せます。
使い易いですよ。アルミ製で軽くて切り回し勝手が良いです。

| マッチ入れ・闘魚 / Temu |
多分、私はマッチ入れの小さなコレクターになっているのだと思いますが、此方は珍しい闘魚の図柄です。
闘魚というと少し乱暴な印象があるかもしれませんが、姿は美しく水の中の天女のようだと若者の頃から好きです。
実際、天女という名前の闘魚が居るそうです。
闘魚の理由は、複数で暮らすと闘い出すので、1単体で暮らすからだそうです。
飼ったこともあるんですが、活き活きとしたしなやかさを持つ大人しい種類です。当時は藍色の闘魚を飼っていました。

| マッチ入れ・花 / Temu |
月華美人（サボテン）の隠し洒落れ小物のつもりです。
来年にならないとBARに行く生活にならないと思いますが、こういった小さな喫煙具の図柄遊びを誰にも分からないのに、一人でカウンターでひっそり愉しむのが今から楽しみです。
 |
| コンパスのピンバッチ / Temu |
此方もそうです。
こういった物を部屋の中や素敵な名前を持つ庭に置くと、非常にカレッジライクな落ち着いた知性的な雰囲気が漂います。
そこに私の大好きな色々な雨の景色を聞きます。
それでは素敵な日曜日をお過ごし下さい。

| Light / Temu |
Since it’s Sunday, I’m writing something gentle.
Now that we’re into June, the sky has completely transformed into a gradient of stainless steel.
On sunny days, it takes on the clear, white hue of summer I remember from long ago, but on cloudy days or when light rain falls, it looks as if the color of fog has risen into the sky—a metallic shade like stainless steel with a tangible depth. It’s been a month of repeatedly recalling the moment just before a storm, when a dark foreboding of thunder fills the air, and the pulsating sea surface, sliced by concrete as it waits for a typhoon.

Since my living space has changed significantly, I’m currently giving it a makeover that’s almost like a full renovation.
The lamp in the photo is one I’ve introduced here before; it’s a beautiful way to display a cluster of celestial bodies in the room.
It used to be in my bedroom, but it was too bright for my eyes, so even though I had several lined up, I only ever turned one on. I always felt that was a waste, so during this major rearrangement, I took the plunge and placed it by the window.
Now, it really brings out the 1Cabin vibe, and I’m very satisfied.
Now that I’ve placed this light there, I keep it on even during the day, and on sunny days, the sunlight beautifully reflects off the white celestial bodies engraved inside the crystal.
In a way, the celestial bodies are here, illuminating the sky and the view from my window on a daily basis, and on sunny days, the sky in turn reflects its light back onto these tiny celestial bodies.
I’m not very good at redecorating, and I used to believe that simply rearranging furniture rarely changes a living space dramatically. However, after getting advice from people knowledgeable about architecture, I took the plunge and made a large piece of furniture—which had just been sitting there—the centerpiece of my interior. As a result, my home has turned into a book café.

My home has turned into a book café. It’s the Sunday edition—it’s hot out there, isn’t it? Let’s get through the summer by staying hydrated and eating plenty of Asian food. Professor O. was beaming with delight. (I personally would have preferred something a bit more substantial, but seeing Enamel’s excitement made me reconsider. —by Prof. O.)

| Pride of China |
I’ve been feeling a bit down this spring. The beautiful visitors to my garden with the lovely name had completely stopped coming, and I was so worried—I even dreaded the thought that they might have gone extinct in this neighborhood... But yesterday, a lively, beautiful visitor appeared. The weather was absolutely perfect, and the garden with the lovely name was so beautiful that I found myself wondering, “Is this what heaven looks like?”
There is plenty of music about butterflies, but watching this beautiful visitor leisurely survey the garden with the lovely name in June 2026, I realized that light itself is the sound of butterflies.
I had been feeling quite down, wondering, “Could something have happened? There hasn’t been any major construction work around here,” so I was truly relieved.
Due to sudden changes in my life, I’ve been behind on “Dance With Science,” but now that I can finally get back to it, I feel full of a sense of having made progress.

| Cigarette Case (for Long Cigarettes) / Temu |
I’m a fan of “Chinoiserie”—the East Asian design style as seen by Europeans, including China at the time—but this piece feels a bit closer to the aesthetic of Japan, where I live.
Are the flowers apricots and the bird a great spotted woodpecker?
With this case, if you slide your thumb under the illustration, the top lid springs open, allowing you to remove a single cigarette.
It’s very easy to use. It’s made of aluminum, so it’s lightweight and easy to handle.

| Matchbox / Fighting Fish / Temu |
The term “fighting fish” might give the impression of something a bit aggressive, but I’ve loved them since I was young because they’re so beautiful—they look like celestial maidens in the water.
In fact, I’ve heard there’s actually a breed of betta fish named “Celestial Maiden.”
The reason they’re called “fighting fish” is that they start fighting when kept in groups, so they’re typically kept alone.
I’ve kept them before; they’re a docile breed with a lively, graceful demeanor. Back then, I had a blue fighting fish.

| Matchbox · Flowers / Temu |
I plan to use it as a stylish little accessory to complement my “Moonlight Beauty” (cactus).
I don’t think I’ll be back to my regular bar-hopping routine until next year, but I’m already looking forward to quietly enjoying these playful patterns on small smoking accessories all by myself at the bar—even if no one else will notice.

| Compass Pin Badge / Temu |
Since this is a rare opportunity to have a cabin, I’ve been buying all sorts of items from my memory that match the ocean theme.
This is one of them.
This is one of them.
Placing items like these in the room or in the garden—which has such a lovely name—creates a very college-like, calm, and intellectual atmosphere.
I imagine all my favorite rain scenes there.
Have a wonderful Sunday.
