“Ochitsuke” (to stay calm in Japanese). This short word is powerful yet calm and allows you to gain your calmness back. This word that Shigesato Itoi holds close to heart was expressed magnificently by Kyuyoh Ishikawa. A techo cover and a Weeks book will join the Hobonichi Techo 2020 spring lineup from February 1st. Kyuyoh Ishikawa talks to the younger generation at the start of a new life with the words “stay calm” by their side. To not rush. To have a “so what?” attitude. To be the protagonist of your own life. And, stay calm. The interviewer is Hirano.
