CHALK
design : Yuichi Nara
Back in my memory, I felt the touch of chalk in front of a blackboard.
The beauty of the characters tapped onto a blackboard riveted my eyes.
The letters were soon wiped and the dust picked up and thrown away.
The round frame painted on a blackboard color looks into such memories.
The twelve numbers written on it make me feel as if I were back there.
