The third house is SkiiMa, a community-based working space on the 4th floor. There are various monthly plans such as free addresses, private rooms, fixed desks, etc. You can also use drop-in and temporary use of meeting rooms. Exhibitions and pop-ups are also held at the attached gallery, and Mr. Suzuki's solo exhibition was held here.

―There are a lot of books here, but do you read well?
"I don't like print, but I love comics, and I buy about 10 new books a month. If you live alone, the number of books that you can put is limited, so I organize it from time to time and send manga to my parents' house. I think there are more than 2,000 comics in my parents' house (laughs). Recent recommendation is "To Shimazaki, a Country of Peace (Original: Todoroki Hamada, author: Takeshi Seshimo / Kodansha). Interestingly enough, I want you to read it.”
―I've heard a little bit, but you like organizing it.
“I love to put things neatly. Manga is lined up from one volume for each title, and a new edition corner is created while changing the lineup every two months. When I was little, I had about 100 Tomica, and I couldn't sleep unless I align it properly diagonally. I really want to be a minimalist, but I have a habit of collecting clothes and manga, so it seems difficult for me now."

―How do you remember the words of dramas and movies?
"I want to play after understanding the theme and content of the work, so I often read the story carefully and learn the flow rather than learning the dialogue without saying a word."
―Will the attitude of actors, models, and photography change?
"You're turning on a completely different switch. There are many other performers at the scene of drama and movie, so we value communication on the spot. I was familiar with it, but I started working as an actor and I like to talk to people more than before.”
