THE DESK OF MURAKAMIThere are about 10,000 vinyl records; I havebn't counted the CDs. These records here are mostly jazz. I almost always work listening to music.
The objects at the base of my desk lamp were bought during my trips here and there. The wooden foot with a spider is from Laos, the marble stone with a wasp from Scandinavia, and the peanut canister is from...mmm...sorry, forgot. They are like my talismans.
I like using pencils-pencil tips always have to be well sharpened, of course. I got them in bulk form a mass sale shop in America. The design on the pencil glasses are the record sleeves from the Miles albums "Cookin'" and "Relaxin'."They are gifts from a record shop (for being a very good customer!).
The bobblehead figurine is Yasuhiro "Ryan" Ogawa, who is the young ace of the Yakult Swallows baseball team that I support. His nickname "Ryan" alludes to Nolan Ryan, because of the way Yasushiro lifts his leg when he pitches a ball.
