ep.xx Luxury Cruise Ship and Dubai Carpets, and the Future IMAX Theater
On a certain day in Reiwa 7.
Panda set foot in Dubai after disembarking from the Asuka II.
The souk (market) was overflowing with the scent of spices and the chatter of people.
But what caught Panda’s eyes were two vivid carpets.
One was red and orange—colors like fire sealed from the earth itself.
The other was blue and green—patterns as if the depths of the sea had been woven in.
In the mind of a rationalist, the calculation instantly began:
“Can’t I just buy these in Japan?”
But that rational voice was silenced in just a few seconds.
“I’ll take two.”
Before Panda knew it, proof of the journey was already in his hands.

•Between Rationality and Irrationality
The red and orange carpet went into the living room.
The blue and green carpet went into the bedroom.
To wake with fire in the morning, and sink into the sea at night.
For Panda the rationalist, it was a rare act of “intuitive placement.”
And then, his thoughts wandered to dreams of the future.
Once money came in, he would build a house like Spielberg’s.
And he wouldn’t forget to build an IMAX theater in the neighborhood.
Would he place these Dubai carpets there…?

•But the Rationalist Says
“No, I won’t put carpets in the theater.”
Because even Japanese people might spill popcorn in a movie theater.
In the dark, with eyes glued to the giant screen, their hands get careless.
And those fingers—sticky with caramel and butter.
When spills happen, they happen. And when they do, the damage is immeasurable.
It’s not about always spilling.
But to a rationalist, preparing for the “probability of spillage” is a matter of aesthetics.

•The Aesthetics of the Future
The IMAX theater floor should be made of easy-to-clean soundproof mats.
Meanwhile, the Dubai carpets should be spread in the guest room or living room—displayed as art.
“It’s not that I don’t trust people.
It’s that preparing for risk is the choice that protects the future.”
Murmuring this, Panda once again picked up the lantern of rationality.

✨ Finished with a touch of humor, this blends rationalism, dreams, and aesthetics into one piece.
