HomeJapaneseI connected pencil and pencil. We call that hating waste is “Mottainai” in Japanese. As an example, these pencils were every short before. I can’t throw away them, even if these pencils become very short. It’s “Mottainai spirit”.短くなった鉛筆を繋いで長くする道具があります。無駄を嫌うことを「もったいない」と言います。

Thats interesting. How do you connect the pencil? Might use the idea when my kids colour pencil become short one day
As an artist, it would drive me insane if the hardness of the graphite suddenly changed mid stroke
I used to have a kiln jar with all my spent up pencils, with barely 2cm left. I must have chucked that out years ago though when decluttering.
