"Find Hidden Spaces"
-
When you walk in the neighborhood, sometimes you fall into a road you don't normally go. It's not often, but sometimes I try to get into a different alley and see the neighborhood unfamiliar. Then, as if I became a stranger here, as if I was a tourist, familiar things look a little different. If you are lucky there, you may find a prop shop that you didn't know about, a hip cafe, or a restaurant that only I know. So, in order to enjoy these little things, whenever I stop by not only the neighborhood I live in, but also the areas I frequent, I try to make a small change even if I go around a road I haven't been to.

'Motsu Coffee', which I will introduce this time, is a space I found while walking around the neighborhood in this way. On the way home, the place that we encountered on our way home was already attracting many people.
-
Singing sounds come from afar. The way the window is opened and the door is wide open to welcome passersby is like MBTI's E in human terms. From people who quickly sit down and chat while drinking coffee in a crowded space, people who sit at the bar table in thought and silence, people chatting with the staff, and on a nice day drinking coffee outside and enjoying the weekend afternoon to the fullest. to those who enjoy it. Even though it is a small space, there are so many different moments that you can see and experience there. Through the open door, the noise of the neighborhood and the laughter of children from the playground across the street become one with the music of the cafe, making the space richer.
-
No matter where you go, there are so many cafes. However, there are not many places where you can feel rich emotions in such a small and simple space. So, the hip cafes around the house that I discovered through the eyes of strangers make me more of a traveler from afar, adding vitality to my boring daily life.
-
Everyone has a daily path that they take every day, and that path is the most comfortable and the shortest path to the destination that has been proven by myself after a few attempts. There are countless forks between the road to school, the road to work, and the road to the park and cafe we often go to, but we might have passed a hidden gem in the middle of running because we only looked at our destination.
-
After walking a few times on a familiar road, the road becomes boring without anything new. So, I'm going down a path I haven't normally taken, and I try to look at the life that is repeated over and over as a little strange. This is because you can find a hidden space like this place and add a little different color to the boring street and life.
