“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。働き方が変われば考え方も変わる。そこに少し希望はある。but、それまで耐えられるかどうかは判らない。

If you think about it、（とくに北部）イタリアなどでは外出自体が禁止されている。地域によっては、生活必需品の買い物にさえ理由書のようなものを携帯しなければならないという。そんな人々が、感染源の一国とされ、国内感染者も増加している日本で花見などしている風景を見たら、「人の痛みが分からないのか」と非難する人がいてもおかしくない。そのような感情は政府や経済界の方々には理解できないらしく、いまだにオリンピック７月開催に固執している。おそらく実現できないだろうが、仮にやったとしても「人の痛みに共感できない」国が、自分たちの「お金のため、メダルのために」他国の「選手を犠牲にした」最悪のオリンピックだったと歴史に名を残すだけだろう。権現堂では桜の下で宴会している人はさすがにいなかった。But、オリンピックの旗の下で宴会する人々はきっといるだろうと思う。

dish-washing

「Apple」 　2020 Alquid

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、ほかの２グループは消極的と評価される可能性が大きい。反対する人は「敵対勢力」と見做されることだってありうる。「協調性」って何だろうか。嫌々でもリーダーに従っていれば、「協調性が無い」という評価はされないと思う。vice versa、積極的にそのプロジェクトを理解し、その長短を考慮した上での反対であっても、少なくとも協調性を高く評価されることは（少なくとも私の知りうる範囲内では）稀有。

かなり荒っぽい論理になってしまうが、評価する側（の姿勢）に評価基準が偏りがちだということが、「不作為」の評価を難しくしている（ある意味自然とも言えるが）。日本の社会は、「提案・推進」＝「建設的」と短絡的に捉えたがる精神風土を持っている。Moreover,、その提案自体、上意下達的な場合が多いように見える。提案に対する反対の場合でも「反対するなら対案を出せ」という言い方をよく聞くが、これも提案＝建設的という固定した考え方をよく示している。そろそろ「AでなければBかC」ではなく、「Aそのものをしない」という不作為の評価と、その方法を考える時代になってきているのではないだろうか。
