Not design

Exercise 24,Dec,’18

Rei Kawakubo, founder and designer of Comme des Garçons.、A very recent quote: “I thought that not designing is design.”。

always something new、Her pursuit of exciting fashion design is one of her achievements: ``That's not the way to pursue it.''、(I couldn't find anything new)。What naturally arises in your heart、I thought the design was about expressing that honestly.”。Although presumptuous、I also deeply sympathize with these words.。

“Create a shape that naturally fits your bare skin.”。Just insert the scissors to get that shape.”。"but、The place to put the scissors is the ultimate position.”。Although it is not just Mr. Kawakubo's words.、That's what it means。Not only in the field of fashion design、All “creations” have a common deep meaning.。“The die has been cast.”。The rest depends on the depth of the sensitivity of the recipient.、It depends on the softness。If the receiver has no sensitivity、It's as if she threw herself off the trapeze onto the concrete ground.。Is there a soft sensibility that supports me?。but she doesn't care about that。That's the only option、I've already let go。That's、As they say, it's a world of creativity.。

Animal welfare

Study for “Man”

Do you know “Animal Welfare”? ``Cows that can be eaten、You have the right to be kept in a good mood.''。"but、In the end, it will still be eaten by humans.。If you’re going to go that far, then why don’t you just eat us?”、I guess that's how the cow feels.、Human thinking is quite complex。

“People from all over the world (but only celebrities)”、A cow that had lived an extremely happy life (with the best balance of meat and oil) suddenly died.、For some unknown reason, he died a painless death.、(Of course, it's "slaughter")、Celebrities are not supposed to know about it) While offering gratitude and condolences to the cow (meat)、alone with my lover、They say they can't help but carry the meat (somehow grilled by the best artisans) to their beautiful lips, teeth, and tongues.、It seems that I have an enviable "destiny".。

Of course it's a joke。The basic spirit is animal welfare.。developed from there、Even animals farmed for food、Efforts should be made for them to provide them with as much dignity and improve their environment as possible.、the idea that。Of course, there is no reason to object to that in itself.。But、"Cows raised in stress-free conditions"、pig、chicken meat is、It's even more delicious than anything else."、It sounds to my Japanese ears。The term Animal Welfare itself、Speaking of tatemae, it is tatemae.、I can imagine that its origins lie in the Christian worldview.。

Topics related to the previous article “Japan’s withdrawal from the International Whaling Commission CWE”。Japan (government) has adopted this “animal welfare”、I imagine that you perceive it the same way I do.。The other party is a country with Christian “animal protection”、We have to think that we are taking world opinion into consideration.。The more we insist on numerical accuracy, the more、The distance between us is widening。"If you get shot with a harpoon、It hurts、Isn't it painful? Don't you understand the pain? ” they think.、Just to restore the whale population.、Even if it makes my mouth sour、I guess they didn't understand that they were parallel lines from the beginning.。First、Trying to humbly understand their “animal welfare” is、I think it's important。

“Japanese” self-righteousness is no good

"Pear" Tempera + Aquila

Japan intends to withdraw from the International Whaling Commission (CWE)、I was stunned by the news (2018/12/20)。Most people probably think it doesn't matter because I don't eat whale meat.、It's not a question of that level.。

Japan continues to research whaling under the guise of researching resources for commercial whaling.。The eyes of the world are suspicious of the "resource survey" itself.。because、This is because he has a previous conviction for selling whale meat to a specific company after every investigation.。The world is、I suspect it's a hidden "sales" operation.。In fact, whale meat is distributed to some companies.、That doubt is natural.。Before leaving etc.、First of all, more efforts should be made to clear that doubt.。

People who have eaten whale、Or the person who still eats it.、Probably less than 1% in Japan as a whole.。I personally ate whale bacon as a side dish in my lunch box when I was a child.、I have eaten it about 100 times (it is not a species for which whaling is prohibited)、Hamagorondo or something like that、I think it's that kind of thing。However, people in anti-whaling countries view them on the same level as dolphins.、frowned)、I never thought it was particularly delicious.。I don't deny my personal preference, but、This should not be confused with ``withdrawing'' from the International Federation of Whales.。

Japan claims the existence of a unique food culture and the existence of sufficient resources (according to Japan's own research).。But、that、全く鯨肉を食べようとしない人々に納得させるには、それ相当の覚悟（努力）が要る。そうした海外の人々への説得の努力をどこまでやったのか、その方法論を含め、極めて疑問だ。「言ったって無駄だ」という「当事者意識」。そして「ここまででも十分よくやった」という身内意識だけで判断するのは極めて危険だ。

国際連盟を脱退した日本の全権、松岡洋右が国際連盟総会議場を立ち去るシーンを思い出した人は私だけではない筈だ。「唯我独尊」は国際社会では「ご法度」だ。「短気は損気」、そんないい言葉も日本語にはある。文化の国際的理解には百年単位の時間がかかるという覚悟をもたなくてはならない。in any case、日本は世界と繋がっていなくては生きていけない国だ。
