Gyroscope

(Museum of Maritime Science) gyroscope

beauty of the ship、sequel。The photo shows a gyroscope, which is essential for ship navigation.、I guess it's easy to understand if you say it's a compass (the blue color is the color of my shirt when I'm looking into it)。This was actually done when a ship used for ocean voyages was dismantled.、what was saved。It's a completely practical item, but isn't it truly beautiful?

It's almost an obsolete word now、When I was a student, the terms "practical beauty" and "functional beauty" still existed.。Unlike works of art whose purpose is beauty itself.、purely functional、Equipment aimed at practicality、It is a word that means to achieve beauty by removing unnecessary things.。

I forgot who said it, but、I felt that there was a hidden dislike for embellishments or allowances (excessive?) in those words.。Meat sensitivity of meat and fat、Bone white against sensuality、It might be easier to understand if I say that I prefer simple beauty.。Although I sympathize with such aesthetics,、called "unnecessary things"、At the same time, I felt some repulsion from his self-righteous words.。

That's what I remembered when I saw this gyroscope.。A gyroscope doesn't have to be pretty, but as long as it's easy to use, it's fine.。This gyroscope must have been made with that policy in mind.。In that sense, it can be said to be ``bone-oriented''.。The diamond-shaped markings are also designed to make them easier to see.。However, this size is slightly larger than this one.、There is no problem with practicality even if the color is slightly pale or blackish.。However, the designer was able to make it just right.、The aesthetics of the creator cannot help but come into play.。This is not a "boneless orientation"、Isn't it a "meat" orientation?。True beauty cannot be created just by stripping away.。That's how I felt at the time too.。

Anyway inside the ship、utensil、For some reason, many of the supplies are beautiful.。Even in cars、Things don't seem to change on airplanes, though.、In terms of beauty, I feel like it's a lot worse (mostly it's just my bias)。I suspect that one of the differences may be due to "weight".。

Ship equipment is generally heavier compared to airplanes and cars.、big、It's tough。The handling on the swaying ship probably requires that.、I feel that this gives the human senses a profound sense of security and familiarity.。design、This is also shared with those involved in the production.、That's why I think a beautiful system called a ship will be created.。2011/9/10

 

やはり船はいい

南極観測船「宗谷」ブリッジから（お台場・船の科学館）

I feel like I saw the sea a little bit for the first time in a while.。When I went to Shimokita about half a month ago, I drove along the coastline.、I looked at the ocean every day, but it never felt like it.。I didn't have the luxury of doing that because of my father's arachnoid condition.。I started to feel calmer so I decided to go sketching.。

The location was decided to be Tokyo, which also served as a preview for the upcoming sketch event.。The ship science museum will be closed at the end of this month with no plans to reopen, so this is the main thing.、I went out with the intention of sketching if time allowed.。

The photo is moored there、View from the bridge of the Antarctic research vessel "Soya" which is open to the public。Facing the front is the Fisheries Agency ship (Tokomaru)。What spreads out in the back is probably the waterway to Tokyo Port.。The opposite shore is packed with containers and container ships.。The lift for cargo handling is standing stiffly.。This kind of scenery probably isn't suitable for Soya, but I can't help it.。Thanks to this, I was able to actually see the ship that I remember seeing in books when I was a child (maybe it was just a memory from the images on TV).。

but、According to records, Soya was originally commissioned as a cargo ship by the former Soviet Union.、Because the ship entered service in 1938 as a private small cargo ship "Jiryo Maru" due to changes in the international situation.、In fact, perhaps it should be said that the landscape has returned to its original state.。

Jiryomaru soon became a special naval ship and was renamed ``Soya.''。Measurement、take on transport duties。After the war, a salvage ship、After being used as a lighthouse supply ship for the Japan Coast Guard、1956It was converted into an Antarctic research vessel in 2013.。Even at that point, it was already a pretty dilapidated ship.。The story behind it is interesting too.、When you actually look at this (really) small ship of about 2,700 tons at most,、This was sent off as the first international Antarctic research vessel.、I can't help but feel the strangeness and sadness of this country called Japan.。Although it was just after the war、Isn't it almost like a special attack team?。on the other hand、The members' sparkling curiosity and youth helped them overcome this problem.、I can still feel great empathy.。

Antarctic exploration only brings to mind the image of a frigid silver world.、Actually, we pass the equator on the way.、Apparently it was difficult to deal with the intense heat.。It is also because of the history that it was first built as a Soviet ice-ocean cargo ship.、It turns out that the ship was not designed with any consideration for the heat.。The sled puller who was brought along for the ride、A shaggy brown dog, etc.、I think I was able to get him to the South Pole without dying.。Taro、The real pain of Giro、I imagined that it was actually in the Indian Ocean rather than Antarctica.。

The ship has a beautiful shape, but、Its history also has an indescribably deep (human) flavor.。sinking、People are drawn to ships even after they are dismantled.、Maybe it's because there's a novel-like charm to it.。

My Vision

Hand (production the · part) ア キ ー ラ 2011

My son says I don't have a vision.。Apart from being an office worker who is busy with company work.、In other words, a self-employed painter、Not having a vision in terms of work or management、It is said that it is a hopeless existence.。

That's certainly true。I have no vision at all right now.。It's day to day。It's not like I'm being carefree at all、I'm actually very anxious、I'm nervous.。Apparently, the questioner thinks that "the concrete result of sketching" brings fun.、I can't get anything、It is not possible (it is not a re-opening)。reality)。That means it's not just about vision.、No ability to understand problems、This means that they have no problem-solving skills at all.。Incidentally, I decided to count how much "what" I don't have about myself.。

First of all, ① No money = no ability to live。② Lack of knowledge to solve problems。③ I don't have the desire for knowledge to pursue it.。④ No desire to improve ⑤ No drive to take action ⑥ No energy ⑦ No physical strength (even though I have a lot of wasted physical energy) ⑧ No kindness towards my family (I am told this every day)、(My family must be really suffering because of me) ⑨ No consideration for my family ⑩ No understanding of my family's feelings、I don't have that feeling ⑪ I don't have any sense of information (apparently it's fatal) ⑫ I don't have any language skills, etc.、Lack of academic ability ⑬ Lack of common sense、⑭ No imagination (may have existed in the past, but it has withered away now) ⑮ No sense of painting (if there was one)、⑯ No sense of adventure (in all aspects) ⑰ No competitive spirit (only a ferocious fighting spirit towards family)。Mostly violent fathers)。At first glance, he seems to have a sense of humility toward others, but、In fact, he has the spirit of a loser. ⑱ He has no "curiosity" (he does not pay attention to the privacy of others). ⑲ He has no ability to manage himself (the proof is that he declares that he does not drink alcohol every morning). ⑳ He does not have the ability to objectively view himself from the outside (he is always the only good person). He also cannot control his own emotions.、Lack of ability to judge situations calmly (especially、Even though the other person is noisy、Be good at explaining。This is the ability to observe people、due to lack of insight)、Not emphasizing (thinking that only you are right)、Lack of communication skills (although for some reason I can clearly convey my bad feelings)、I can't see people fairly (I don't even know what fairness is)、I have no sense of justice (although I feel a lot of guilt)、countless incompetences such as。

Isn't there a lot of people who don't have this ability? given that、Isn't that amazing in itself?、and follow me、My ability to be kind to myself was recognized as outstanding.。
