レゴと頭の体操｜Lego and Mental Gymnastics

小さい時に好きだったオモチャにレゴがある。ロケットとか、基地みたいな完成したカタチがあるのだが、そこには興味がなく、自分が作りたい電車や街を作っていた。合わせて好きだったのが多湖輝先生の「頭の体操」という本だ。１ページ１問なのだけど、常識では解けず、ちょっとひねって考える事がポイントだ。祖父の本棚にあったのだが、新刊をワクワク待ち望んだものだった。今のボクの発想、思考方法はこの２つのオモチャで形成されていると思う。ゼロからカタチをつくるのが好きで、ひねくれた発想法。話の合う人にはこの２つを親しんだ人が多いような気がする。（絵と文：サカキテツ朗）

One of my favorite toys when I was little was Lego. I was not interested in the finished form of a rocket or a base, but I was building trains and cities that I wanted to build. I also liked a book called "mental gymnastics" by Akira Tago, which had one question per page, but the point was that you couldn't solve it with common sense, you had to think with a twist. It was on my grandfather's bookshelf, and I used to wait excitedly for his new book to come out. I think my current ideas and ways of thinking are formed by these two toys. I like to create forms from scratch, and I have a twisted way of thinking. I feel that many people I talk to are familiar with these two.
