Toolbox from my elementary school
USB memory of Captain America (8GB)
The box in the upper right is a toolbox from my elementary school. I forgot about it for four years after I graduated. I started using it as a paint toolbox when I was 16 years old. I was going to art school and I needed something to put my paint tools in. It was useful for this purpose and I’ve used it since that time.
The little USB memory next to the Captain America doll in the center was bought for me all of a sudden by my mother. I’ve been a fan of Captain America for five years, and my mother knows it. Two years ago, she went to her part-time job and I was gaming with my young brother. When she came home, I said “welcome back”, and she said “I bought this FOR YOU. You’ll like it,” And she gave it to me. I laughed so much when I saw it because it has a strange face and a reversible body which is too deformed, and surprisingly you can pull off the head because it is the USB connector cap. What an insane design! I didn’t think I would ever pull off my favorite character’s head ‘till I receive this from my mother. Six months ago, I used it for some movie making data, but it broke. I was very shocked cause it was one of my favorite things. R.I.P. Captain USB. Now, it is on my shelf in my new home in Kyoto with other my Captain America goods.
Oil paint I bought these oil paints when I was 14 years old. I wanted to paint because I saw beautiful oil paintings created by Leonard Da Vinci at Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum. So, I asked my mother and she bought theseoil paints for me. After that, I painted using these oils at the art school I went to. But, I didn’t like the smell of dark kelp; I couldn’t endure it. As a result, I haven’t used them since then, and they’re sealed now.
