It is not about visiting as a tourist or moving somewhere permanently. It is about the stillness that emerges when you stay in one place for a certain period of time and about the unexpected relationships that form with people beside you. When I stayed at a bookstore for eleven days to make a book, I felt a quiet sense of connection as people of all ages came by to help, working and freely sharing stories about their lives and what they love. It was such a calm and special time. A residence just for myself, created in moments of making things and moments of doing nothing at all. A place to step a little away from the world, to lose myself in something while remaining aware that I will return.

That time will never come back, yet in front of me sits a stack of paper pages that hold those moments. So we can encounter that time again and again. In every stay, there is a special place and a special time waiting to be found.

特集: 滞在で感じたあの特別な時間はなんだ

第6号の特集は「滞在」。観光で立ち寄る場所でも移住でもなく、ある一定期間留まった時に起こる、静止したような時間と、偶然隣りあった人との関係性について思いを巡らせた。書店ON READINGに11日間滞在し雑誌をつくったとき、たまたま手伝いに来てくれた年齢もばらばらな人が、作業をしながら生い立ちや好きなことを自由に語り始める様子を見て、不思議な連帯感を感じた。なんて静かで特別な時間なんだろう。いまの世界から少し離れて留まることができる、戻ることを意識しながらも没頭している、ものをつくったり、なにもせずすごす時間から生まれる、自分にとっての特別な滞在なのだと。あの時間はもう戻ってこないけれど、目の前には紙の束が集積して存在している。だから私たちは何度もその時間に出会うことができる。滞在で生まれる特別な場所と時間に—。
