This book is a letter-sized, spiral-bound collection of memories, bound with a red coil and printed on glossy paper—blending a modern feel with a nostalgic touch. Rooted in my journey, it reflects how the objects I grew up with shaped my design sensibilities and continue to inspire me.

Part catalog, part magazine, the book organizes these objects into visual stories, documenting personal trends from my Japanese childhood since 2002. From everyday items like Nintendo games to treasured keepsakes, such as scented pens, each piece captures a moment, revealing how design, nostalgia, and personal experience intertwine.

More than just a personal archive, this book is an invitation to reflect. As readers flip through its pages, I hope they’ll recognize fragments of their past—objects that once shaped their world, now resurfacing in unexpected ways. Through this exploration, I want to spark a sense of shared nostalgia, showing how design quietly connects us to memory, identity, and each other.
