“How to Create Well-Being”

During the "The World in Our Minds" event, I received a copy of Junji Watanabe's new book! I was planning to buy it, so I'm so happy!!!

At "The World in Our Minds," visitors were invited to explore the venue while connecting with one another through Junji's "Air Talk."

When two balls are connected by a tube, pushing one causes the other to inflate. If you push hard while feeling tense, that tension is transmitted to the other ball.

"Air Communication" is the ability to communicate through the atmosphere by sensing how the other person reacts in different situations.

This photo, taken by Zawa, shows Junji, Orii, and me having a "telepathic conversation"!
