Canoe
Paddling with your own hands, you quietly head wherever you like with just a few people.
A canoe is a small, narrow boat that moves by paddling through the water. Most carry one or two people, and with no engine or sail, they move by human power alone. Dugout boats carved from tree trunks have been used all over the world since ancient times, and in Japan, ones dating back to the prehistoric Jomon period have been found.
A canoe sits shallow in the water, so it can slip into shallows and narrow waterways that big boats can't enter. It's quiet too, and can sometimes get close to waterbirds. In the same spirit, you quietly paddle off with a few people, slowly heading wherever you want to go.
When a canoe stops paddling, all it can do is drift with the current. You're good at going at your own pace, but on tired days, a whole day can pass without heading anywhere. On days like that, one option is simply to decide it's a day to pull up on the shore and rest.
Strengths
- You can casually head into places other people don't go
- With a few people, you can quietly keep to your own pace
- You decide your own direction and move forward little by little
Where you may stumble
- When you have to fit in with a big group's plans, it's hard to keep your own pace
- As you follow wherever you feel like going, the way back gets longer
- On tired days, your paddle stops and your plans don't move forward
Sounds familiar, Canoe?
- Somehow you've become good at finding places with few people around
- When you go out, it's usually just you or the two of you
- On a free day, you leave the house without deciding where to go
Where you shine
Work a few people move forward carefully, or moments when someone needs to find a path nobody takes. You quietly choose your own way, so you can reach places other people don't notice.
Tips for “Canoe”
- On days you join a big group's plans, decide first when you'll take time alone to rest
- Before you push off, decide just what time you'll head back
- On days you can't make progress, call it a rest day and move in one go the next day

Sailing Ship — On a Sailing Ship, a big crew works together to handle the sails. For a Canoe always paddling with its own hands, the Sailing Ship can tell stories of far-off seas it couldn't reach alone.
Helicopter — The slowly paddling Canoe and the Helicopter, which takes off the moment an idea strikes, are opposites in speed. But both want to decide where to go themselves with just a few people, so plans for where to go come together fast.
Shinkansen (Bullet Train) — The Canoe wants to move quietly with a few people, while the Shinkansen wants to carry crowds together. Your sense of a comfortable number of people differs, so when you do something together, neither of you finds it easy to get comfortable.
