Once every few years, I find myself unable to come up with any design or engineering ideas, and every time this happens, I get nervous inside, wondering if I'll ever run out of ideas.
For the past two months, I've felt like I've been wandering around in this tunnel, clicking my tongue.
I am aware that as a creator I am still not even at 50%, but I feel somehow relieved to have received various awards.
Is that what's making you lose your ambition?
Compared to before, when every day was a survival spree, KOMA has become more stable.
The staff at both the workshop and the store are all excellent, and it's incredibly fun to be in a developing business with a bright future ahead.
Is this situation causing them to lose their hunger?
I've thought about it in various ways like this, but I still can't figure out if that's the direct cause, and it just makes me more confused and frustrated.
From past experience, I have learned that the best solution is the most mundane thing: to keep quiet and practice the basics necessary for making things, without expressing any worries or dissatisfaction.
So first, sharpen the blade. Continue sharpening until you get a new sensation you've never experienced before.
Next, I redraw the drawings I made in the past, continuing to draw multiple times until I can settle on a higher level.
Then I surf until I'm exhausted, ride my bike until I get tired of it, eat a lot of food, drink a lot of alcohol, and sleep as much as I want.
As this happens, new ideas start to bubble up and I often find myself dying to start creating something.
As you practice and get better, you'll want to try it out, and after playing around a lot, you'll eventually start wanting to get back to work.
I don't know for sure, but I think it's probably something simple like that.
With this noble cause in mind, I decided to take a leisurely surfing trip along the Pacific Ocean from Shonan to Shimanto in Shikoku.
Every few years, I have a moment when I can't come up with any design or design ideas, and every time I do, I'm scared to death inside that I'm going to run out of ideas.
That's how it has been for the past two months.
I am aware that as a creator, I have yet to score even 50 points, but I am somewhat relieved by the various awards I have received.
I wonder if that is what is making me forget my ambition.

That is why I sharpen my knives first. I continue sharpening until I feel a new sensation that I have never experienced before.
Next, I go back and redraw the drawings I did in the past. I continue to draw many drawings until I can fixate on a higher level.
Then I surf until I am exhausted, ride my motorcycle until I am bored, eat a lot of food, drink a lot of alcohol, and sleep as much as I want.
Then, new ideas start to come to me, and I often find myself wanting to make things as soon as possible.
When I practice and get good at something, I want to try it out, and when I play around with it, I feel like it's time to get back to work.
