at the end of the night、Are you active now? I bought a book that introduced 150 illustrators of。All of them seem to be popular illustrators.、About half of them all look the same。I didn't know anyone's name。Even just that、I feel how far I am from the leading edge of “the times”。I'm painfully aware that it's outdated.、 I thought I'd like to know at least how many weeks I'm behind.。
But、That didn't matter.。Same race to begin with、We weren't in the same era。If it's just a drawing technique、Even if you are late, you can somehow recover.、What I can't keep up with is the sense that I find it interesting。A sense that is shared by the person drawing (illustrator) and the viewer。what's interesting、I don't understand.。You can't overcome it with just technique.、A kind of "culture shock"。that、Young people say, “It’s bunka.”。
I、I think I actually wanted to be an illustrator.、I think now。I've loved drawing since I was a child, but、It's not even a "sketching"、Moreover, it wasn't "art" or anything like that.。But、At that time、For elementary school students in rural areas (the word ``remote areas'' is already obsolete),、The word "illustrator" didn't even exist.。
A child who likes drawing、He was just a "lazy person who didn't help with housework"。。I drew a ``long story manga'' without even knowing it.、Instead of showing it to everyone、Have someone do the work for you、make a game、I drew pictures that matched it and handed them out to my friends.。I also drew backgrounds for country plays alongside adults.、I also drew lanterns for village festivals.、Ema and votive tablets dedicated to shrines、At the end of every year, I drew 1,000 pictures for my grandfather's New Year's cards.。it's not a painting、It was an illustration.、I understand now。
マンガもイラストも「ブンカ」。それをいわゆるオトナが「文化」と読みかえている時点で、“周回遅れ” 。SNSもYouTubeも「ブンカ」であって、いわゆる「文化」とリバーシブルになっているようなもの。それがあると知っていること、それを享受、利用していることの「一つ上にある」ブンカ。「スマホでメールが送れる」は、文化であっても「スマホのブンカ」ではない。そのメールに漂う「呼吸」。それがブンカなんですよ、surely。
