篠原一男は1964年39歳の時に朝倉摂と小田急デパートで展覧会をした。その貴重なカタログをいただいた。そこには谷川俊太郎のメッセー、粟津潔のイラストが載っている。篠原は桑沢洋子に呼ばれ桑沢デザイン研究所で教えたときに当時桑沢洋子が招いた錚々る芸術家、写真家とそこで親しくなる。その1人が朝倉だったという話を朝倉の元で働いていた方達からお聞きできた。In 1964, at the age of 39, Kazuo Shinohara had an exhibition with Setsu Asakura at the Odakyu Department Store. I received this valuable catalog. There is a message from Shuntaro Tanikawa and an illustration by Kiyoshi Awazu. Shinohara was invited by Yoko Kuwasawa to teach at the Kuwasawa Design Institute, where he became friends with prominent artists and photographers whom Yoko Kuwasawa had invited at the time. I heard from people who worked for Asakura that one of them was Asakura.

篠原一男による1966年にできた住宅を友人のお誘いで見せていただいた。クライアントが当時の雑誌寄稿「我が家の自慢」に真っ白い大きな壁と書いている。左右対称なこの白い壁は同じ年にできた白の家の白い壁同様、篠原の正面性が現れたものである。I was invited by my friend to show me Kazuo Shinohara’s residence built in 1966. The client wrote in a magazine article at the time, “Our Home’s Pride,” that it was a large pure white wall. This symmetrical white wall, like the white walls of the House in white built in the same year is a manifestation of Shinohara’s Frontality.

塩崎さんに頂いたatelier co のポートフォリオがかっこいい。回廊が回る幼稚園、遠藤さんとの合作、子供達が走り回るの見たいね。The atelier co portfolio that Mr. Shiozaki gave me is cool. I would love to see children running around in a kindergarten with rotating corridors, a collaboration with Mr. Endo.

よく見るといろいろな花がある神楽坂にもいろいろな花がある。If you look closely, there are many different types of flowers in Kagurazaka.

配偶者の書を見に新国立美術館へ。額装と印のデザインが（も）いいな。I went to the New National Museum of Art to see the calligraphy of my spouse. I also like the design of the frame and seal.

建築を見る技術もあるだろうなThere must be a skill to see architecture.

銀行は行って気持ち良くなることはまずなかった。しかし口座のある四谷支店は7月1日まで予約が一杯。仕方なく大手町に行った。驚いた。空間も家具も接客も全く違う。口座移そうかな。Going to the bank rarely made me feel better. However, the Yotsuya branch where I have an account is fully booked until July 1st. I had no choice but to go to Otemachi. I was surprised by the completely different space, furniture, and customer service. Should I transfer my account?

東工大の田町校舎にティボーの篠原一男レクチャーを聞きに来た。スチュワート先生に久しぶりにお会いした。大分変わったけど一人で歩いてこられたのだからいいじゃないか。I came to the Tokyo Institute of Technology’s Tamachi campus to listen to Thibor’s llecture about Kazuo Shinohara. I met Professor Stewart for the first time in a while. He’s changed a lot, but it’s okay because he was able to walk alone.
