Month: September 2011

Fueled by the disaster prevention boom、We also bought two cases of water at home.。2 liters x 6 bottles x 2 cases = 12 bottles = 24 liters。My wife said she would buy it, so I brought it in the car.。Calculate water consumption at 4 liters per person per day.。Minimum 3 days、According to the theory that you should stockpile for two weeks if possible,、There are 3 people in my family, so 3 people x 4 liters x 3 days = 36 liters is the minimum.。The rationale behind the half-baked amount is that it costs money and takes up space.。It's certainly better than nothing in case of emergency.、The evidence for both cases is extremely weak.。

She also bought several types of lights without my knowledge.。One of these days, a hand-cranked light that doesn't require batteries broke while I was trying it out.、After pressing the switch of a normal handheld light several times, it would no longer turn back on.。few days ago、When I went to an electronics store, there was a pile of small LED lights that were exactly the same type as the one I'm currently using.。Because it's exactly the same thing、I knew right away that they were defective products.、On the contrary, the price has almost doubled。Even the store may not know that it is a defective product.。It will turn on for now、There is also brightness。I can tell it's a defective product because the colors of the LED lights are separated.、People who have never used it probably won't understand.。The switch is also unusually hard, but it's not impossible to use.。but、Proper items are easy to use.。This is a matter of conscience of the manufacturer.、In the disaster prevention goods market of Dosakusa、Even products that should normally be discarded like this、It must be circulating to some extent.。They are taking advantage of the psychology of wanting to feel safe with disaster prevention goods.。

There is a magazine from the United States called National Geographic.。This is the geography of the world、From the climate、Biology (Ecology)、sometimes social issues、The theme is everything related to humans, the world, and the earth, including space and astronomy.。Each article is short, but the content is deep.。Take the documents from the computer、This is not the kind of mass media paper that you create on your desk.、The author actually walks the site、A magazine devoted to photography and fieldwork.。Almost all reporters are active academics and photographers active in their respective fields.、Many photographers have died for this magazine.、The power of the photo is exceptional。To the earth and human society、A real “exploration book”。

Among them, I am reading "Complete Survival Techniques to Survive Anywhere in the World" (2,400 yen), which was published on August 29th of this year (one week ago).。Preparation/knowledge for exploration and awareness/preparation for disaster prevention have many things in common.。like home、Read this before buying crappy disaster prevention goods、The awareness of “disaster prevention” itself will change.、Or rather、You will get hints on more core ways of thinking.。Rather than being forced to buy embarrassingly sloppy products using the earthquake disaster as a base.、I think this might have been a better disaster prevention item.。2011/9/4

The Noda administration of the Democratic Party is inaugurated.。Whoa! It was like that、I think that's pretty much it。Among them, Tsuyoshi Hosono, Minister in charge of nuclear power generation, was reappointed.。"No one wants to do this job.。(I also don't have the slightest desire to do anything.")。what、What about this statement? I guess it means they have no choice but to do it (reluctantly) because no one wants to do it, right? If you're trying to say that you're not really into the post.、There are too few words。Graduated from the Faculty of Law at Kyoto University、For a career that started as a research and consulting researcher at the current Mitsubishi UFJ Research Institute,、I think this statement is based on the political sense of a junior high school student.。Is there any awareness of the importance of interviewing members of the new cabinet? If you think about this country's politicians、I'm more horrified than appalled by the lack of political acumen in my own words.。It's scary to think what these people are talking about overseas.、Fortunately? Is it safe to say that most of them can hardly speak English?

The result of focusing on short-term matters such as politics, which have nothing to do with the lives of ordinary people.、The political nobility we created。They also don't care about common people.、I guess that's what you're thinking。If it's Oaiko、It's a very sad reality。In Libya and Syria, young people are risking their lives for new politics.、fighting to create their own politics。Even if we win, the road ahead will be tough.、The breath seems to be similar to the patriots of the end of the Edo period.。世界はまだまだ若いのだ（逆にいえば日本はもう老いくたびれてしまったのだ）と、彼らの貧しさの中にもある種の羨ましささえ感じさせられる。

話題は180度近く変わる。recent years、得体の知れない怪物ともつかぬ、巨人のような　「男」と題する作品を発表し続けている。いつだったかギャラリートークで、その巨人の解説をした。毎年同じ話をするのもつまらないのでその後は内容を換えて話しているのだが、その時の解説で言わなかったことが（実は言いたくても言えなかったのだが）、ずっと私の中で反芻を繰り返している。「どうしてこういう絵を描くようになるのだろう？」ということだ。

それは表現の意図とか、内容とかいうものとは全然違う。ここ数年続けていると書いたが、さらに事実を言えば小学生の頃から既に今のような絵は時々だが描いていた。数年から十数年の間隔を措いて私の中に現れる、グロテスクと人に言われる絵。そのことが何を意味するのか私にもまだ分からない。だから人にも説明しようもない。自分の中の未知の部分を知りたい、あるいは未開の部分に入り込むのを畏れるような、そんな気持ちをずっと持ち続けている。　　2011/9/2
