What’s the oldest thing you own that you still use daily?

I haven’t used them every day…I think I have more.

• Kero Kero Keroppi & Japanese comics (30-40 years old)

• Japanese books (at least 40-50 years old)

What book could you read over and over again?

• Washi (Japanese) paper dolls (50 to 70 years old)

My grandparents passed away a long time ago. My grandpa used to tell me that my grandma was a beautiful woman. Her specialty was making washi (Japanese) paper dolls.

But she was quite different from other grandmas. She was a heavy smoker (more than 20 cigarettes per day) and liked gambling and drinking beers.

I remember that she took me to pachinko (a type of gambling) and a hostess bar (a type of nightclub). I was a kid at the time. The bar owner (called Mama) was friendly and gave me juice. 😅

What’s the coolest thing you’ve ever found (and kept)?
