Kisarazu Magazine (Vol.2) "Kinreizuka Museum"

I participated as a citizen writer in Kisarazu Magazine (Vol.2)

I never expected to be chosen as a citizen writer, but once I was selected, I had no choice but to do my best. The seminar, which started in August 2024, is documented and available to view via the link below.

Kisarazu Magazine Vol.2 Production Report

The guest lectures were incredibly enjoyable. They were deep, intense, and sometimes a little crazy. Even without taking notes, the content really stuck with me. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I’m sure other participants felt the same way.

They possess the ability to adapt to any character and speak directly to the reader,
with an almost otherworldly sensor as a town information hunter,
their passion for words and books is explosive,
and they approach interviews with a reflective, sharp edge, as if wielding a fine blade.

Through these dialogues, I was able to understand the essence of “writing” day by day.

I am also deeply grateful to the editor-in-chief, who trusted and supported all the writers, each with their unique personality and enthusiasm.

The original website for “Kinreizuka Museum” is also live

The article I spent six months writing was titled “Meeting Ancient People Through Modernist Architectural Heritage.”
I tried to intrigue readers with a strange pairing of modernist architecture and Jomon pottery, but a month before the final draft, the Jomon pottery section was unexpectedly omitted for various reasons (!), and the text and photos I could use were suddenly halved. It was a terrifying baptism for an amateur writer. With strong help from Editor-in-Chief Furukawa, I was able to finish the article that is now published. Thank you so much.

Although it was not possible to include the article content, I restructured the information and compiled it into a personal website, which is now the newly launched “Kinreizuka Museum.”

It may look “official,” but it’s just a personal site. It’s a modified version of this blog’s CSS. However, I poured all the knowledge and experience I gained from the seminar into writing it, so it should be quite rich in content. I sincerely hope architecture fans will take a look.

(A Monologue) By the Way

When I chose the science course in high school, one of the girls in my class said, “I totally think you’ll be in the humanities, don’t do it,” and she was right.
I just realized that now. Once I started writing, I couldn’t stop. It’s a bit too late to figure that out. I’m thinking of creating another special website someday.
