“corona” what is illuminated by

Gongendo Sakura Tsutsumi Saturday, March 21, 2020 3:00 p.m.。very quiet cherry blossom viewing

Continuing from March 18th (Wednesday), I went to Gongendo Sakuratsutsumi.。Four days ago, there were hardly any blooms.、The buds are swollen、I thought it would bloom once it got warmer on Saturday and Sunday.。Most of the trees were in bloom today.、Overall, there are still 1-2 minutes left in bloom.。During the current self-restraint mood,、There were more people than I expected, but、Still, it's much less than previous years.。That way you can watch it more slowly.、The noise from each stall playing different music and、There are no obtrusive lanterns、Just looking at the cherry blossoms is much more pleasant than usual.。

Speaking of quiet, the Sumo Spring Tournament is the place to be.。I always just listen to sumo on the radio.、Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the event will be held without spectators.、Not only the sounds of the wrestlers colliding with each other and the heavy breathing.、You can even hear the sound of your feet crunching the sand every time you cross a partition.。The Sumo Association will probably be disappointed because they won't get any box office revenue.、As a radio fan, my satisfaction level is much higher than the usual places.。High school baseball selection has been canceled、If the event was held without spectators、I'm sure this would have made baseball fans on the radio happy too.。

probably、Taking advantage of this coronavirus pandemic,、The way people work in Japan is sure to change.。Rather than the government taking the initiative and leading small work style reforms, etc.、quickly、change with effectiveness。As the period of self-restraint gets longer, more small and medium-sized businesses will close down.、There will be a lot of unemployed people、Maybe that's because Japan seems to be rapidly aging and declining.、shuffle all at once、It might be a chance to rejuvenate.、I also think。If you change the way you work, your way of thinking will also change.。There's some hope there。but、I don't know if I can last until then.。

If you think about it、(Especially in the north) In countries such as Italy, going outside is prohibited.。Depending on the region、Even when shopping for daily necessities, people have to carry something like a written explanation.。Such people、considered to be one of the sources of infection、If you look at cherry blossom viewing in Japan, where the number of domestically infected people is increasing,、It's no surprise that some people criticize us by saying, "Don't you understand other people's pain?"。It seems that people in the government and business world cannot understand such feelings.、Still insisting on holding the Olympics in July。It probably won't be possible、Even if they did, there would be a country that could not empathize with other people's pain.、for their own money、It will go down in history as the worst Olympics in which athletes from other countries were sacrificed for the sake of medals.。As expected, there were no people having parties under the cherry blossoms at Gongendo.。But、I'm sure there will be people partying under the Olympic flag.。

dish-washing

I think about many things while washing the dishes.。Rather than sitting still and thinking、For some reason, I come up with better ideas while washing the dishes.。I often read that it is easier to come up with ideas while taking a walk.、In my case, my associations quickly spread from what I saw.、It doesn't seem suitable for thinking。

In most cases, the content of what we think is、It's about the picture I'm about to draw.、Washing the dishes after breakfast is the most important thing.。That's why、In a daze, I drop the plate and break it.、Nothing happens。Are there any stains left on the pots and pans?、Check to make sure there are no sauces or cabbage bits stuck to the bottom or edges of the sink.。Ideally, you should be more beautiful today than you were yesterday.、I think in my heart。While doing so、Try drawing the picture you are about to draw today in a different part of your head.。to simulate。

When you actually draw、The smoothness of the paint、I get distracted by color unevenness that happens by chance.、In the simulation, it's as calm as watching someone else draw.。Then, halfway through, it stops at a scene where you say, ``Huh? This is weird.''。Almost like recording and playback。Replaying the images in my head over and over again、Think about the causes and solutions for the areas of concern.。

There are only a few dishes to wash (especially in the morning), so it takes at most 30 minutes.。Usually it takes about 15 minutes。Most of the time, the immediate solution will be ready.。I can't think of anything big、Only one serving。Still、before actually standing in front of the canvas、This simulation is very effective。Washing the dishes is not my responsibility.。sit still、Because I might be standing all the time.、I just started doing it on my own to refresh my head and blood flow to my lower back.。A new relationship between washing dishes and painting。

Evaluation of “inaction”

"Blue pot and apple" 2020 watercolor

"Omission" means "something you don't dare to do."、has a positive meaning。A similar word is "random".、This means "without thinking"、Almost "coincidentally"。in many cases、Evaluation is based on "results"、Evaluating what you don't do、including the method、I imagine it would be surprisingly difficult。

in many cases、There are stages in evaluation.。A typical example is grade evaluation during student days.。Even in cases that cannot be expressed in numbers、Positivity、Coordination、Things like “bright personality (!)” are rated “high”.、For the type who tries to do everything alone、Lack of coordination、It is easy to get negative evaluations such as self-righteousness.。I think the idea that ``hikikomori'' = ``evil'' = ``we should try to bring them out into society somehow'' comes from this kind of evaluation.。go outside、When I'm told that I have to work with people、Art doesn't work、It would be better to become a society where people can survive even if they remain shut in.。

What is "positivity"?。Suppose a project is planned。The third place was those who supported/promoted, and those who opposed or pondered.、At the very least, opinions will be divided.。At this time、From the perspective of those who planned the project、Supporters = active、The other two groups are more likely to be evaluated as negative.。Those who oppose may be seen as "hostile forces"。What is “cooperation”?。If you follow the leader even if you don't like it、I don't think people would judge me for not being cooperative.。vice versa、Actively understand the project、Even if it is the opposite after considering its merits and demerits、It is rare (at least to the extent that I know) that cooperativeness is highly valued.。

That's pretty crude logic though、It is said that evaluation criteria tend to be biased towards (the attitude of) the evaluator.、It makes it difficult to evaluate “inaction” (although in a sense it can be said to be natural)。Japanese society is、They have a mental climate that tends to short-circuit the idea that "proposal/promotion" = "constructive"。Moreover,、the proposal itself、It seems that there are many cases where it is subordinate to the top.。Even when opposing a proposal, I often hear the phrase, ``If you object, come up with a counterproposal.''、This also clearly shows the fixed idea that proposals = constructive.。It's time to stop saying "If it's not A, then B or C"、Evaluation of inaction such as “not doing A itself”、Isn't it time to think about how to do that?。
