Haruki Murakami about running:

"Speed ​​and distance, don't ask, I can keep running every day and try to keep as constant."

After investing in literary creation in Murakami, he often retreats in the study and devoted himself to investing in the pen and ink.

However, long -term meditation has gradually made his body gradually overwhelmed, his physical fitness is declining, and his spirit is difficult to maintain lasting vitality.

In order to improve this situation, he started trying to run and persisted 10 kilometers a day.

Not only are morning running or short distance running, the running habits of Haruki Murakami can be regarded as the extreme.

This run is more than thirty years. Not only did he successfully quit smoking and alleviated excess weight, but also transformed himself into an excellent marathon athlete.

He participated in many marathons and even successfully challenged the 100 kilometers of Super Marathon.

He wrote in "What I talked about when I talk about running":

The body is the temple of everyone. No matter what it is worshiped, it should keep its strongness, beauty and cleaning.

Running is an indispensable part of Murakami's life. Every day he starts from the morning running, and it is endless in winter and summer.

He found himself in running, found the way to controversy with his body, found the time to talk to himself, and found the source of inspiration.

Running for him is to maintain clear thinking in the struggle between the keyboard and paper. He visually metaphorically, writing is like running a marathon. If he has no solid physique and clear thinking, he will not be able to talk about it.

In addition, he was willing to say that running has a sense of recognition of life.

Running, to some extent, making his life more orderly and more regular.

When the body is running, when the thoughts are flying, that feeling seems to be a collision of self -reality and ideal, at that moment, all the confusion will disappear.

As a writer and long -distance running enthusiast, this spirit of Haruki Murakami is even better. Going up early and getting up early, and continuous writing and running every day have been incorporated into his life.

The self -discipline and persistence of this is not only the control of physical and time, but also a firm idea.

Success is never unexpected, but persistent efforts and the inevitable fruit of the spirit of self -discipline.

Looking forward to the extraordinary life of Haruki Murakami, you can bring you unique perception and gain!

His story of collecting T -shirts

Murakami is in his 70s, but he still maintains his own rhythm of self -discipline, maintaining the sustainability of the creation of a work in two years.

His almost crazy self -discipline made his age the most easily overlooked in him, as if he could always continue to create like this and always love life in his own way.

Writing, running, traveling, listening to jazz music, translation, making DJs, cat raising ... These hobbies full of village -style life have been widely known for readers.

But there is another hobby. He rarely spent his pen and ink and time to talk to people before, that is, collecting all kinds of T -shirts.

This was originally a very insignificant life. In an interview, I accidentally said that "speaking, I also do a T -shirt -like collection", and I opened him for more than a year and a half in Japanese fashion magazine popeye. Serialize with the theme of T -shirts.

In addition to those hard -working, when you see it, you want to pay for the T -shirt, there are

· Go to listen to the T -shirts bought when the rock concert

· Participate in the Marathon T -shirt

· Local T -shirts bought during travel

· Because of the related topic T -shirts of Playing Sanda Purchase

· T -shirt related to reading

· Whiskey theme T -shirt

· Burger and tomato sauce companies to promote T -shirts

(The direction is gradually strange ...)

And all walks of life are given away from publicity.

Because of these general reasons, the number of T -shirts in the wardrobe of Murakami increased at the speed of God's unknowingly.

Murakami does not like to go to the store to buy those fashionable brands, but prefers some of the promoted T -shirts and find some T -shirts in the Middle -aged Store or Charity Store.

Or in other words, most of the T -shirts that can be left by Murakami have a little story.

Of course, there are some T -shirts purchased for extremely clear reasons, such as:

I bought this American iguana T -shirt from a specialty store in the Cologne Islands Airport,

In order to commemorate the 70 -minute drowning of Darwin, drowned for 70 minutes.

Because he loves the T -shirt designed by Volkswagen very much, he still teases in the book:

"Looking at the design of the T -shirt alone, Volkswagen is still very powerful.

I dare not talk about the prospects of the car, and hope that the public will continue to work hard in the field of T -shirts. I will silently support you. "

——Ye deserved to be Murakami!

These T -shirts are like the slices of Murakami himself, instead of the time he spent time, the people he met, and the things he loved, stated them in the wardrobe to resist the wear of time.

Is there always so many clothes in our wardrobe that can't bear to leave, but we will never wear clothes?

There are also a few pieces of Murakami. No, there are many pieces.

For Murakami, which of these T -shirts can be worn and cannot be worn, and in his heart, like his self -disciplined life, there is strict distinction standards.

"To put it bluntly, I just don't want to be noticed, I want to live as low -key as possible. If it is too eye -catching, it will cause trouble ... once it is interpreted, it is difficult to do."

In "Murakami T", Murakami talked about the T -shirt that could not be worn in the collection.

One is a solid color T -shirt, because solid color T is a consumable, and there is no memorable value for staying. The T -shirt bought at rock concerts will not go out immediately.

There are also animal T -shirts that are bought because they are too cute, and they can't wear them because they are too cute, and even the whiskey -themed T -shirts I love the whiskey theme of Murakami rarely wear them.

In addition to the above, there are also one type of T -shirt that will never be worn out, but is also carefully preserved by Murakami. It is a surrounding T made by publishing houses in other countries according to his works.

Although Murakami was very moved, but

How can Murakami himself wearing a large T -shirt with a large word of "Haruki Murakami" printed with "Haruki Murakami" (Haruki Murakami) is under the light of light?

For a small book composed of 18 essays and 108 T -shirt photos such as "Murakami T", Murakami admits:

I don't think such a book will have any use (naturally it does not think it helps to solve many problems facing Japan today).

It may be a display, indicating that in the second half of the 20th century to the days of the first half of the 21st century, a novelist was wearing these lightweight clothes and spent a fairly relaxed and happy life.

Maybe it can become a folk information in later generations, and maybe it may not be useless. For me, in fact, everything is good. I just hope that readers can immerse themselves and enjoy my trivial collection.

Everyone says that happiness is difficult to find, but Murakami tells you that happiness can grow from every step of your time.

Today's era needs to be as interesting life as Murakami, but also the way of life -style life in Murakama to dispel the moment of burnout in life.

After all, the beloved things that are included in the collection of each one are the life -saving straws that are included in the collection from the abolished life.
