忙しくて何も出来なかったとよく言うが、暇があればできるというわけのものでもない。
しなくてはならない仕事は何となく気が重い。どうでも構わないようなことに心を惹かれる。

We often say that we have been too busy to do anything, but it is not true that we can do anything in our spare time.
The work that has to be done is somehow uncomfortable. It's the things that don't matter that fascinate me.
Even if we have time, if we are preoccupied with the "little things", we will run out of time and, again, we will not be able to do anything.
Tofu is like a knife with a sharp edge, but made of something soft.
I feel that the appearance of tofu is one of the most beautiful aspects of Japanese food.
