Book Introduction
The authors of the best-selling picture book "The Happy Janitor"
Breathing life into diverse 'thoughts', big and small
A warm and beautiful story about a man who gathers his thoughts
Every morning at six thirty, a man with the strange name 'Burutung' passes by a house.
The old man passes this street and turns the corner at exactly six thirty, regardless of whether it is summer or winter.
With a bulky backpack on his back.
What's in the old man's backpack? A delicious meal to fill his stomach? A newspaper to tell him about yesterday's events? None of them.
The old man's backpack contains all kinds of thoughts: pretty thoughts, ugly thoughts, happy thoughts, sad thoughts, foolish thoughts, noisy thoughts, quiet thoughts, long thoughts, short thoughts, etc.
Because it is the old man's job to gather thoughts.
The old man organizes and cultivates the collected thoughts, giving life to the thoughts we usually miss.
We think even at this very moment.
But I don't give that thought a second thought.
Through 『The Collector of Thoughts』, let's think about the thoughts that passed through me today and gather the thoughts that will create 'my future self'.
It will also help me express my thoughts.

Into the book
The uncle's job is to gather thoughts.
Pretty thoughts, ugly thoughts, happy thoughts, sad thoughts, wise thoughts.
Silly thoughts, noisy thoughts, quiet thoughts, long thoughts, short thoughts.
Every thought is important to you, sir.
--- p.8
People say that thoughts are as light as feathers or snowflakes, but that's just a rumor.
There are many ideas that weigh more than 250 grams.
--- p.12
After finishing organizing, the man leaves it on the shelf so that his thoughts can rest for a while.
Then it will be juicy and sweet like ripe fruit.
--- p.18
“Thoughts that bloom like flowers become tiny grains and are carried away by the wind.
Higher and higher you fly, and in the blink of an eye you find yourself floating above the rooftops still covered in sleep.
Then, it slowly descends and enters each house through windows and other gaps.
It gently settles on the foreheads of those who dream like that, and grows into new thoughts.
“If there is no one to collect thoughts, they will continue to repeat themselves and one day they may disappear completely.”

Publisher's Review
How many thoughts have you let slip away today?
How to make various thoughts your own
We have hundreds, even thousands of thoughts a day.
But because it is invisible, it is often overlooked.
Thoughts that have passed do not remain with me, and since they do not exist with me, naturally others do not remember my thoughts.
For us, who just let hundreds or thousands of thoughts pass by every day, Mr. Grumpy teaches us the fun of collecting our thoughts and how to do it.
First, give your thoughts a name.
Name all your thoughts—happy thoughts, bad thoughts, wise thoughts, old-fashioned thoughts—and remind yourself that there are no unimportant thoughts in the world.
Second, set your own standards and organize your thoughts.
If I don't organize it, it's hard for it to settle down inside me, and I tend to get confused.
Third, let your organized thoughts sit still for a few hours.
It is about giving time for thoughts to deepen, like a fruit that gradually ripens and becomes sweeter.
The fourth and final step is to plant your well-ripened thoughts one by one in your own flower bed.
Finally, thoughts bloom into beautiful flowers, become even more abundant, and are carried by the wind to reach other people.
The 'I' that is created only when many thoughts come together
Why we need to gather our thoughts
Why should we gather our thoughts? The answer can be found through the daily life of Mr. Grumpy.
The old man lives in a small house.
You might think, "Isn't it better to live in a big house?" But Mr. Grumpy says that's enough.
It shows that it is important to gather and nurture various thoughts to create a person called 'me' and to develop my thoughts, and that the size of the house is not important at all.
The countless thoughts in our heads become roots, big and small, and grow into a single tree called 'me'.
If I don't gather my thoughts, I will be nothing more than a hollow tree, unable to know who I am or express my thoughts and feelings.
Just as Mr. Grumpy gathered his thoughts in his large backpack and told us his story, how about we gather our thoughts in our own pockets through “The Thought Collector” and share our thoughts and feelings with others?
