This “Mamein (a stamp for correction)” is a bond which ties my father and me. He used this on his job for many years. When I got my first job in 1962, he handed over this to me as a necessary thing for working. At that time, people used Soroban (abacus) and wrote by hand at work, so this Mamein was quite useful in both his and my generations. Times has changed, this Mamein has lost it’s part, but I feel like it has been watching my job performance for 47 years from a corner of my desk with my father. The entry of 31st Century Museum of Contemporary Spirit is the last job of this stamp.

父子を繋ぐ「豆印（訂正印）」父が長年仕事で使っていた豆印です。私が就職した1962年、すぐに必要な「モノ」だからと渡してくれました。当時は算盤と手書きの時代ですから父子二代にわたり随分と活躍してくれました。時代が移り、豆印の出番は無くなりましたが47年間黙って私の仕事ぶりを父とともに引き出しの片隅から見ていたように思います。31世紀こころの美術館「思い出のモノ」への参加が最後の出番です。
