A whole lot of etymology
Here are some conversation starters you can use at drinking parties or during breaks! [Onlookers] The term "old horse" (or "dad horse") is said to have originated from the idea that old horses are unaccustomed to humans and only cause trouble, rendering them useless. Therefore, it came to refer to people who heckle or make sarcastic remarks during a disturbance. [Give up (or give up)] Originally, it meant to "clarify" or "make clear" the circumstances, but it seems that the m

Horseshoe trainer
This time we will introduce the currently available trainer, Horseshoe! Thanks to you, our horse-designed products have been very well received. I'd like to give you a little background on this design. Although the horse and horseshoe are fused together, they were originally separate designs. The silhouette of the horse was decided, but the shape of the horseshoe was hard to decide on. Anyway, I just kept drawing. (As a result, my PC was full of horseshoes lol) And what will

The shocking update to the textbook
The other day, on a certain program, there was a topic about the Reiwa textbook being updated. There was a quiz show on. Here are two that really shocked me! [ 1] The earliest human "Australopithecus" Approximately 4.2 million to 3.9 million years ago. I learned that they were the oldest humans at the time... Current textbooks say that Sahelanthropus tchadensis lived about 700 years ago. It was discovered in the Republic of Chad in 2001, and although its brain was the sam

Brain training with coloring books
Do you do brain training? The brain reaches its peak in our 20s and 30s and then begins to shrink with age, causing a decrease in nerve cells and a decline in processing ability (aging). Nowadays, there are many apps available that allow you to train your brain. However, if you get tired of using or looking at your smartphone or computer, Do you ever feel that way? I personally work long hours at VDT. (Information processing and video display work using display devices such a

What color is my aura?
What color is your aura? Have you ever seen it? The other day, I had an aura diagnosis done at IWAKURA in Kawagoe. Apparently, you can measure your aura color and the state of your chakras using a special machine. In fact, I saw the aura color at Iwaza-san in 2019. I had heard that the color changes when there is a major turning point in life (emotional or environmental changes). I measured it for the first time in 7 years! Yellow for 2019 and In 2026, it changed to "orange.

Why do people compare themselves to others?
Have you ever compared yourself to someone else? It is a way of comparing yourself to others in order to confirm your own value and abilities and to adapt to society. It is an instinctive psychological motivation for self-evaluation. In today's world, the spread of social media has had a major impact on our psychology. While there is a psychological tendency to find ways to be better than others, gain a sense of superiority, and maintain one's own value, Because we are consta

Meeting the three brothers
A single message connects a small life This story was also posted on Instagram on October 1, 2025. I hope you will take the time to read that as well! This time I'd like to dig a little deeper. A certain day in June 2020 It all started with a single LINE message one day on a holiday. When I saw the photo from a distance, I thought it was a stuffed animal rolling around.

What is 822?
What does the [822] in the brand name mean? It's very simple. It's the birthday of my first cat. As a child, I didn't have many opportunities to interact with animals, so I neither liked nor disliked them. That was my honest impression as a teenager. (Actually, I was chased by a neighborhood dog when I was little, so I think I was afraid of them.) Time passed, and a few years after I started working, I met a cat at the company I was working for at the time, and my life change
