A letter pad (writing paper) with the design of the poem by Moratín and a ticket from "Aikoku to Kōfuku yuki," which became a huge boom after being featured on an NHK program in 1973. The size is B5 and it contains 30 sheets. It is new and unused, but due to age-related deterioration, there are stains on the edges of the first few sheets, and the first two sheets have come loose from the main body. The Moratín poem written on it: "To love and to be loved... I desire no greater happiness than this, nor do I know of any." "Aikoku to Kōfuku yuki" (From Aikoku to Happiness) was the catchphrase for the train ticket between "Aikoku" Station and "Kōfuku" Station on the former JNR Hiroo Line in Obihiro City, Hokkaido. The phrase, which can be interpreted as "Going from the land of love to happiness," became a huge boom in 1973, sparked by the NHK travelogue program "Shin Nippon Kikō" (New Japanese Travelogue) episode "A Journey to Happiness ~Obihiro~." The tickets, especially popular among lovers and students preparing for exams, sold 3 million copies in that year alone, and over 10 million copies in the following four years. Currently, the building of "Aikoku" Station is preserved as a transportation memorial museum, exhibiting当時の切符やSLなどが展示されています (tickets from that era, steam locomotives, etc.). In front of the station building, there is a monument shaped like a "Kōfuku yuki" ticket, which is a popular photo spot. Even after the line was closed, "Kōfuku" Station's station building, platform, and two diesel cars have been preserved, retaining their original appearance, and are now affectionately known as a transportation park and a place for community interaction. The auspicious name "Aikoku to Kōfuku yuki" continues to attract many tourists today as a "Sacred Place for Lovers" and a "Starting Point for Happiness." It is also nostalgic to recall that on New Year's Eve of 1974, during the 25th NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen (Red and White Song Festival), when Rumiko Koyanagi sang her hit song "Fuyu no Eki" (Winter Station), the station master of "Aikoku" Station appeared, delivered a message of support for the Red Team, and presented Rumiko Koyanagi with a ticket, which she received as she began to sing. Moratín was a Spanish playwright and one of the leading figures of Neoclassicism from the late 18th to the early 19th century. He was a typical Francophile and was the first to translate Shakespeare's "Hamlet" into Spanish. He favored French theater, especially Molière, and as a writer, he left behind five comedies. At the time, no one surpassed him in his profound knowledge of theater. He was appointed librarian of the Royal Library by the King of Spain, but following the retreat of the French army, he went into exile in France and died in Paris. How about this for those who like Showa-era retro stationery?
