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.。

to be naked

Tulip (when I first started painting) F6 tempera on canvas

In the world of art, the phrase "go naked" was often used as a buzzword.。One of the art organizations that was once a driving force behind Japanese Western painting (although that's a strange way to say it).、It seems that during the Nika Festival, a woman playing the role of Venus (the goddess of beauty) was placed in a mikoshi from the mountains of Ueno and carried out into the city under the name ``Naked Festival.''。This "naked" is a living thing called a nude body, but、Of course, spiritual "nakedness" is a symbol of "liberation"。

Not only did I create it naked every day.、An old man who was like a ``preacher'' and even had all his guests naked.、A fierce warrior who walked around a girls' high school naked in the middle of the day to "train his mind"? It seems that there were actually quite a few、It is not only in the world of art that it is said that being naked is important.。It is a word that is often heard in almost all artistic fields (though it seems that it also applies to fields other than art).。

Actually me too、I have had the experience of being told that many times.。Many people prefer "naked" in the sense of opening their hearts.、You probably think it's more difficult (embarrassing) to actually be naked in public.。But、Perhaps the reality is the opposite、I think it's much more difficult to expose your heart.。The human heart is like a volcano、``I want to expose something''、If we don't store up the "frictional heat" like magma with reason, trauma, etc. that we have to suppress,、This is because you cannot generate the energy to expose your heart in front of others.。

Open your heart - being naked、I wonder what it means?。Just "do what you want to do"、It just re-proves the truism that humans are animals too.。For example, if you are an artist、what、copper、What level do you want to do it at?、Try doing it recklessly、I don't care what people think、I think that's what "naked" means.。But on the other hand、People also live among people (so humans?)。have a fundamental contradiction。Something that takes root in the gap between contradictions、You seem to be thinking that maybe it's art...、I don't think I'll be able to go barefoot.。

I have been vaccinated

The grove begonias are in full bloom this year as well.

Prime Minister Suga is、Upon taking office as prime minister, he rightly cited ``self-help'' as his top priority.。The real intention was not "self-control" but "self-responsibility"。In short, "Let Teme do what Teme does."、Rural before the Edo period、Everyone has a faint feeling that this is a kind of gut-based philosophy based on an era without social security.、But I felt it sensitively。Watching him insist on having spectators at the subsequent Olympics.、Everyone was convinced that their interpretation was correct.、It was supposed to be。However、Due to vaccination, the situation is changing to corona virus as he expected.、It wasn't、It changed like crazy。“I’m grateful to be able to get vaccinated for free.”。Lines of elderly people who no longer understand the meaning of free、A day when I felt that I was also a part of it.。

Yesterday (July 10th) I received the corona vaccine (first dose).。Now that it has been more than a day since vaccination,、“My arms are a little heavy.”。2The first vaccination is scheduled for July 31st.。7Based on the country's plan to complete vaccination by the end of the month,、This should be the last date among the elderly.。

While waiting for the vaccination, I glanced at the、Fear of coronavirus has already diminished considerably, at least among the elderly.、I feel that。Until recently, I was afraid、I just said, “I’m scared.”、With just one vaccine, you can feel safe and secure.、It will change to “peace of mind”。People who have completed two doses of vaccination、I won't be able to stop going out here and there to have fun.。If this continues like this、Autumn vacations are sure to be twice as blooming as summer.。

It's all about the measures taken to prevent the coronavirus just the other day.、Many points have been made about the inadequacies of the medical system.、The things that were recommended、In an instant, that “peace of mind”、Buried in "peace of mind"。And、I'll probably do the same thing again in a few years.。A country that only takes a pose of “reflection”、I don't have the habit of thinking deeply about myself or other people.、In countries where there is no such education、Disasters and happiness are all a matter of "luck" (which is left up to others)。But、Is that what Japan is now? Are we really at that level of thinking?。“What is a nation?、I'm talking about people who don't even realize that they've just been drowned."、remember the word。
