... Read more明洞を歩いていて一番「え、なにこれ?」って立ち止まったのが、鼻に絆創膏を貼ったキャラクターの大きなフィギュア。写真を撮ったあとにふと「鼻に絆創膏のキャラって元祖は誰なんだろ?」と気になって調べました。 結論から言うと、「鼻に絆創膏=このキャラが元祖!」と一人に決めるのは難しそうでした。というのも、鼻の絆創膏は“ケンカっ早い”“やんちゃ”“転んでケガしたばかり”みたいな記号として、アニメや漫画、ゆるキャラ風デザインでも昔からよく使われる表現なんですよね。なので、特定の作品が起源というより「定番のキャラ記号」として広まっている印象でした。 ただ、明洞で見かけたフィギュアみたいに「立体で大きく展示されている」「ガラス越しにドン!」みたいな見せ方は、店舗のアイコンとしてかなり強いので記憶に残ります。もし同じ子を探したいなら、撮った写真の背景に写っている店名や看板を手がかりにするのが早いです(私は周辺の外観も一緒に撮っておく派)。明洞は看板が密集していて、ALANDみたいな大型店もあれば、BLUE ELEPHANTみたいに広告が目立つお店もあって、後から見返すと場所の特定がしやすいです。 あと、街歩きの合間に見つけたのが、カラフルなキャンディーやナッツのディスペンサーがずらっと並ぶお店。見た目がかわいくて、手土産用のギフトボックスも多かったので、ばらまきおやつ探しにも良さそうでした。 明洞って同じ通りを何度も通った気分になるくらい情報量が多いので、気になるキャラや看板を見つけたら“その場で店名メモ+外観も撮影”が本当におすすめ。帰国後に「元祖って何?」を調べる時の手がかりになりますし、次に行く時のルート作りにも使えました。
