Donko Donkou

I want to create a place where the flow of time is slow. The private library and cafe designed for that purpose are “Donko Donkou/Cafe Yoshi Kissa Fang”.

As the daily flow surrounding people accelerates, it is daring to be slow from the speed required by social systems and technologies. And to continue to think spontaneously about pleasure and health as a person. That’s the time I want to encourage with “dumb thinking”.

Read a book while tasting the coffee slowly roasted and carefully brewed. I believe that the lonely time of nothing and the fellowship with someone in the past called books will be the foundation of human’s ingenuity and wealth in the future, and I will open up “dumb thoughts” here.

Machine translation isn’t perfect, but sometimes it comes up with good phrases. I like this:

Check out the photos on the website. I also love the blue drop animation. I admit that I scrolled down several times to watch it disappear in the puddle at the bottom.

    What a wonderful world! Just thinking about a slow flow of time has made a change in me. I feel solid, present. The marvelous photos seemed to confirm this.

    Ottmar, help me find the blue drop animation. Would it have started if I had slow flowed enough?
