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.。

Focus on Nozomi Tanaka

人形

The Olympics are only 8 days away...。opening ceremony、What about the closing ceremony?、It seems like only the media is making a fuss about the opening ceremony of the Paralympic Games.、Most venues were closed to spectators、including the movement of people to the venue、It was good in that it put a brake on the risk of Covid-19 delta infection and heat stroke.。I still oppose holding the Olympics under these circumstances.、It's not that I'm not interested in the performances and records of individual players.。

athletics、I am interested in seeing how Nozomi Tanaka performs in the women's 1500m race.。regardless of gender、1500The m is an event that requires both short-distance strength and long-distance strength.、In particular, the competition in the last week becomes so fierce that it is even called "truck martial arts."。Some men even run the last 100 meters in under 10 seconds.。

Is it normal between short distance and long distance? Some people may think that、Muscles suitable for short distances、Body type and muscles suitable for long distances、body types are completely opposite。Practice is the opposite。Probably mental as well。What is the process of creating these contradictory muscles and bodies?、As a result、Carved out to the very limit like the finest sculpture、My imagination is stimulated by my highly refined body (ability).。it is、It is the ultimate joy of sports for me.。In a sense, sports are the opposite of health and entertainment.、A level of training that can even be called unhealthy.、Stoic self-management (including way of thinking)、I feel like it's similar to art somehow.。

I got a little off track, but、Because it's such a tough event.、Until now, not a single Japanese woman has been able to participate in the Olympics.。Tanaka is the first。Her current world ranking is 31st。Ranking is、The rankings do not necessarily match the personal records of current athletes.。Your performance in the designated tournament will be converted into points.、The number of points will be used as a guideline for whether or not you can participate in the Olympics.。First, she wanted to qualify for the 5000m.、I prioritized those events, so improving my 1500m rank was postponed.。That's why it's ranked 31st。

I think Tanaka's specialty is actually the 3000m.、Unfortunately, there is no such event in the Olympics.。Her last spurt is always outstanding at Japanese tournaments.、2It is not uncommon for players in the rankings to be so ``bumpy'' that they cannot be seen on the screen.。Even though he's so talented、There is a huge difference of 18 seconds between her Japanese record and the world record.。What is “running around the world”?、What kind of running can you do against them?、Paying attention to the women's 1500m track and field race。

to be naked

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.。
