How to see - the way of seeing things

Text: Takahiro Goko

How do you usually shop? Do you usually buy things by gathering information on the Internet, comparing and examining them? For example, lights and objects you find at flea markets that are one-of-a-kind and add a touch of color to your life. I am not saying that impulse buying is a good idea, but it might be a good idea to buy things that are more true to your own sensibilities and feelings. Here, Goko-san, who collects interior goods, vintage items, crafts, and local toys from all over the world, without limiting the genre, age, or region, and with her own unique sensibility, tells us how she sees and enjoys things.

Vol. 19 Recommendations for keeping killifish.

My habit after waking up every morning is to take care of my killifish and killifish pots. Often, I find myself spending an hour or so in this way. It calms my mind and has become a kind of ritual to welcome the day comfortably.

Especially in spring and summer, when the water temperature warms up, it is time for spawning, and the number of killifish, which started with 10, has now grown to over 200.
On my balcony, I have three large killifish pots and one pot for hatching, and it has already become a bit like a fish farm.

. recently it seems that more and more people around me are keeping killifish.
I feel that raising and caring for such small animals in our lives is also good for our mental health in this current corona disaster.

. and, of course, there is the fun of choosing tools such as killifish pots.
. We recommend large pots made of Kogada-yaki pottery, for example, because they are beautiful to look at.

This is a great way to visit a folk art store.
