He often chooses by the way he look. Mr. Takeuchi’s favorite stationery

Celeina:Today’s program is dedicated to the theme of “stationery. We asked Mr. Takeuchi to bring his favorite stationery. I am interested in this largest stapler.

Takeuchi: It is a stapler that can bind books.

Takano: Can you fasten about 100 sheets?

Takeuchi: It might take a lot of strength to fasten 100 sheets, so it would be better to limit it to about 30 sheets.

Takano: I’m also interested in this orange round thing. It looks like a frame.

Takeuchi: It is a circle cutter. It can cut a beautiful circular shape.

Celeina:What do you use it for?

Takeuchi:Mostly for crafts, but I don’t usually use it at all. I choose it for its appearance.

Celeina:It has a retro look and is cute. You also have a lot of pens.

Takeuchi:Those are pens that can write on anything, used at construction sites and so on.

Takano: I really want to try one, but I would get angry (haha). Do you have any criteria for choosing stationery?

Takeuchi: The color, the look, and whether or not I want to use it.

Takano: Whether it excites me or not. There are so many, I want to talk about it for about an hour. (haha)

Celeina:Thank you very much for bringing all these things! Today we have painter Shuntaro Takeuchi. Thank you very much.
