会社の運動会｜Company's Sports Day｜2021/09/29

久しぶりに実家の古いアルバムを開けた。小さい頃の写真や家族の写真の中に、父の会社の運動会の写真があった。短距離走や玉転がし、仮装行列、家族でお弁当、ちびっ子応援団とまさに昭和の一コマだ。仕事は今ひとつだけど、実は足がものすごく速くリレーで勝利をもたらした若手や、いつもムッスリとした部長は家族に頭が上がらなかったり、普段会ったことがない社員と肩を組んで応援したり。これらは、実は相互理解、目標共有、ダイバーシティなど今必要とされる大切なキーワードが含まれているのようだ。令和の時代に会社の運動会はそぐわないと思うが、なにかそれに変わるイベントが必要なのかもしれない。（絵と文：サカキテツ朗）

I opened an old album at my parents' house. Among my childhood and family photos I found photos of my father's company's sports day. Sprinting, rolling balls, a costume parade, a family lunch, and a little child cheering party were just one frame of the Showa era. The young staff who hadn't done much work won the victory, and the manager who was always stuffy, couldn't raise his head to his family, and staff who had never met cheered together. These actually seem to include important keywords that are needed now, such as mutual understanding, goal sharing, and diversity. I don't think the company's sports day is suitable for the Reiwa era, but it may be necessary to have an event to replace it. -Text and illustration by Ted Sakaki
