Taconomakura

「タコノマクラ」 ペン

「タコノマクラ」って何ですか?ウニの一種(毒はないようですがほぼ食用に適しません)で中央が若干高いくらいのほぼ扁平のかたちをしています中央の花のようなのはわたしが描いたのではなく棘を取り去るとこんな模様があるのですいかにも描いたように見えるのも不思議な感じです真ん中の黒い丸は殻の一部が欠けて穴になっているところ

生きている時はいちおうウニですから棘がびっしり生えています棘の長さは5ミリほど生きているのを目にするのは稀で多くは砂浜に打ち上げられた状態で目にしますこれはわたしが拾ったものでタコノマクラと言われるとなるほどと思える柔軟な発想のネーミングですねなんとなく絵心を惹かれるようで拾ったのですが少なくとも10年以上経ってもまだ絵になっておりませんこのままではこれを枕にあの世行きになりそうです

I went to the prefectural exhibition

“Like a Seagull (Icarus)” Tempera

I went to see the ``Saitama Prefecture Exhibition'' at the Museum of Modern Art in Kita Urawa.。Are you busy? I can't afford to go、Must see at least once。Considering the date, today was the only day.。My back hurt and I didn't want to go out.、I didn't like it because it was Buddha's extinction on the calendar, but、I was lucky that I didn't get caught in the rain.。

I thought about a lot of things while watching it.。first、Isn't the quality of the drawings declining?、I also felt。The barriers have been lowered and it has become easier to get selected.、whether there is a relationship。As sellers age in proportion to demographic trends, are their ideas becoming flat and outdated?。99I know that older sellers are working hard.、I think that's admirable though.、in the sense of exciting、Only the high school students' drawings looked interesting.。middle-aged and elderly、Let's try a little harder without giving up!

The Shunkai Exhibition begins

Shinshunkai ’25 Exhibition Hall (2025.06.10)
Yuka Saito "Cat's Meat" Aluminum Casting

Shinshunkai exhibition has begun。This year Hoshino、Mr. Segawa withdrew from membership due to poor health.、Also、Chiyoko Takahashi passed away.。It will be an exhibition with a touch of loneliness.。I humbly pray for Mr. Takahashi's soul to rest in peace.。

Instead、The energetic sculptor Yuka Saito has joined us as a new member.。I'm so happy。This year marks the 38th year of the Chenchunkai Exhibition.。At first, the exhibition was started with the idea that ``all you have to do is hold it five times'' and it was well-received.、(All the members were young, too) I feel like we rushed through to the 20th episode just by having momentum.。20beyond the times、When I finally reached the stage where I was thinking about what to do next,、It’s almost 20 years again。It goes by so quickly。Generational change may also need to be sped up even more.。

After the display ended, the main topic of discussion among members was health and illness, such as back pain.。Almost all of you are at an age where you or someone in your family has such problems.。Of course I'm no exception.。It is only when we are alive that these things are reflected in our works.。That's probably the difference between works made with AI.。Please everyone、Please see the actual work。
