Takashi's personal blog。Not just about paintings、What I think about every day、what you feel、I write whatever comes to mind。This blog is the third generation。From the beginning, it has been over 20 years.。 2023From January 1st、For now, I decided to just write on odd numbered days.。I'm going to think about my future direction and other things piece by piece.。

Gender change – what it means to be human

"Still life with pothos (in progress)" watercolor

While watching ``Animal Skeletons'' on YouTube,、I happened to watch a video about "cosmetic surgery"。In that flow、I also ended up watching a video of someone undergoing gender reassignment surgery (before and after the surgery).。why should i do this、Considering the reality that even after surgery, people are still driven to suicide.、quite a shocking time。I can't believe you'll show it to me with laughter。

A few days later on July 10th、a transgender woman、In a domestic relations tribunal requesting permission to change the gender on the family register without surgery.、The Hiroshima High Court has determined that the necessary requirements are met.、There was news that。This hearing is not a lawsuit with a particular opponent.、Now the verdict。The claimant's claim was accepted.。

If you look into it a little、There are currently five requirements required for gender change.。① Be diagnosed with gender identity disorder by two or more doctors ② Be 18 years of age or older ③ Not currently married、Must not have any minor children; ④ Must have no gonads or reproductive functions; ⑤ Must have an appearance similar to the genitals of the changed gender.、five of。Of these, ④ and ⑤ are surgical requirements (⑤ is also called appearance requirement).、Doesn't necessarily have to be through surgery、Until now, in many cases, genital plastic surgery was performed at the same time as ④).。The above “gender reassignment surgery” is an operation to address ④ and ⑤.。
The hearing at the Hiroshima High Court on July 10th、In fact, on remand from the Supreme Court、In particular, requirement ④ itself was judged to be unconstitutional by the Grand Bench of the Supreme Court in October 2023.、This time, based on this judgment。Regarding ⑤, I did not make any particular judgment this time.、There will still be problems in the future, but、In the high court judgment、It seems that the decision was made that ``it would be fine as long as the people around me didn't feel uncomfortable.''。

people live for greed、That is one way of looking at it.。Gender change too、Broadly speaking, it can be said that desire is one of them.、I'm just trying to be more myself、rather the most fundamental、I think it's simple and pure.。Social issues such as the declining birthrate、This is an issue that needs to be reconsidered through the government and government.、It is not appropriate to impose part of the responsibility on them.。I want to be like Otani when I grow up.、The child's thoughts of、If everyone becomes a baseball player, who will do other jobs?、Just as you shouldn't ask stupid questions like。(I can't stand it being so long)

In front of the flower shop at night - prototype

Long before、I made a prototype based on a photo I took when there was a flower shop in front of Ginza San-ai.。It seems like there are a lot of people who want to draw the front of a flower shop (I feel like there are actually fewer of them these days).、I remember seeing a picture like that quite a bit.。

This is why、I decided to draw one of the old photos I found.。I also thought that since it was a night view, it must be even more impactful.。What steps should I take first to make it work?、With watercolors, redoing is more of a burden than with oil paintings.、It's not a waste to try simulating the steps.。

Slow life

The phrase "slow life" has become a buzzword.。It may have become an obsolete word by now.。literally、slowly、It means to live a leisurely life.、it disappeared、I think it's because most people's way of life hasn't changed in the end.。

Slow life is an idea.。slowly、What it means to live a leisurely life、It also meant that I needed to be prepared to sacrifice a lot for that purpose.、Feeling relaxed、I just admired the coolness of slowing down.、When you come across a slight negative element、The majority of people were probably frightened and the clouds disappeared from there.。

However, it has become a popular word、Part of that consciousness remains in society.、like a root、I think I left open the possibility that someday it will sprout properly.。history repeats、It is said that、It is impossible to simply repeat。You can't turn back time。Even if they look similar, the contents are different.、Even though the contents are the same, they appear in different forms.。

After all、I want more money、A slow life is impossible for people who think it is necessary (that is, me).。It seems like you have a huge legacy from the time you were born.、It might be possible if such a person could have such an idea.、Well, there's probably no such person.。I can't even afford to think if I'm just barely surviving.。A slow life is just like a rice cake in a picture.。But painting is not a waste。Because I want to try it someday。And for that purpose, I work hard and have no time to spare.、Although it's the opposite of what I want、As a result, it is useful to society.。
