Post-it
レジデンス1年4ヶ月と15日目
旅行から帰ってきたらまたアムスは寒くなってました。ビーチは近づいたり遠のいたりです。
ところで先日私はPost-itが欲しくなり文房具屋さんへ走ったところ、日本にあるようなPost-itは皆無でした。あるのはでかいサイズの、ほとんど「貼れて書き込めるメモ」としての用途のものばかリで、あの、ページの斜め上にちょっと貼るだけ、のやつが無いです。寂しかった。
こっちの人は「ページの斜め上に貼るだけ」の用途を用途と見なさないんですかね。「ページにちょっと貼るだけ」のためにお金を出したりはしないんですかね。
Post-itのデザインはMoMAのパーマネントコレクションにもなったと聞いたけど、それも大きいやつかしら、小さい、日本でいう普通のサイズのやつかしら。この差はでかいんじゃないかしら。
アムスは文房具屋さん自体あまりないんですが、あっても日本で文房具を買う感覚より高値だし気の利いたものはないので行ってもそんなに楽しくないです。でもその次行った万年筆屋は楽しかった。万年筆カッコ良かった。使わないけどね。

From the top: a box of cigarettes, some highlighters – I tried to beguile the lack of small Post-it with them, a big Post-it which are available in Amsterdam, a small Post-it which my Japanese friend in London gave me the other day, and a stamp – which I happened to find in my studio.
Post-it
I just came back from a trip. It’s back to cold again in Amsterdam.
The other day, I went to a stationery shop to buy Post-it; but I could not find anything like the ones we have in Japan. There were only big ones on which you can write things down. There were not small ones that you use just to mark a page. They don’t regard such a function as an enough function? They don’t spend money for such a little thing?
I heard that the design of Post-it became a part of MOMA’s permanent collection. I wonder whether it is a big one, or a small (normal) one we have in Japan? There is a big difference between these, I think.
There aren’t many stationery shops in Amsterdam; and even the ones that are around have fewer items, and they are generally more expensive. Not so much fun to visit them. After the stationery shop, I visited a shop specialized in fountain pens. It was fun. Fountain pens are really cool. I don’t use them though.
