I want to go fishing

「Green Apples」 2020 water color

It's been many years now、I haven't gone fishing in the river or the sea.。Both river (lake) fishing rods and sea fishing rods.、Some sleep in the space under the stairs.。ルアー(魚型の疑似餌)もワーム(虫型の疑似餌)も使わないままのが何種類もある夜釣り用のリチュウム電池付きの蛍光浮きヘッドライトライフジャケット磯用の靴とか…(たぶん)すぐ使える状態に揃っている

学生の頃によく通った中華料理店(もちろん学生値段)のオーナーは釣り好きで私のスケッチ用のリュックとイーゼルのセットを釣り道具と勘違いして「今日はどこで(釣りをしたの?)」と何度もカウンターの向こうから毎回質いた今から考えると「そういう「(釣りの)よしみ」だからこの人には特別サービスするよいいよね?」と在店中の他の客に暗示してくれていたんだろうと思うなんて優しい心遣い当時はそんな心遣いなど深慮できず「釣りの道具とスケッチの道具の区別も分からないなんて目が悪いのかな」なんて思っていた恥ずかしいですが今になってようやく理解できます

ある時期の英国では(男の)子に伝えなければならない「父の義務」は「釣り」(のマナー)だという「(鱒)釣り」と「(狐)狩」は「貴族の男児」なら必ずマスターしなければならない「必須科目」だった(らしい)鎖国で欧州文化と断絶していた江戸幕府の歴代将軍にも「鷹狩り」を必須修得科目」としていた事実がある(「偶然」とは言いがたい事例がたくさん)私はそれを必ずしも肯定するわけではないがなぜ「釣り」なのかぜひその意味は知りたいと思っていた。so、ウォルトンの「釣魚大全」(これは名著ですよ)などを読んだわけです

「英国から学ぶ必要などサラサラ無い」などと言われれば無言になるしかないでも腹いせに「そんな必要が無い」と断言できる「根拠」を示せよくらいは言うのが普通だ

Continuing the Apple series。why do you continue、Sometimes I feel like I don't understand、Anyway, from the work in front of me、I feel like I could draw something more interesting, so I can't quit easily.。concentrate、You have to keep going all at once to the point where you say, ``I can't do this anymore.''、The experience inside me is whispering。

There is something called "getting lost"。The hardest part is when I feel anxious and wonder, ``Is it okay to do something like this?''。I don't understand what I'm doing now、It's time to。Because I'm anxious、Naturally, I also lose confidence.。But、that's important、It's definitely painful though、All kinds of worries、Take a step and think again on the spot。That's better、Unfounded self-confidence、Just move your hands without worrying about anything、It's much more legitimate than that、Maybe it's better。

Even as I continue to work on this series, I sometimes feel anxious, wondering if it's okay to do something like this.。And、no matter what people say、This is all I can do now、I changed my mind and continued again.。“What you can do now” is not a matter of ability.。If it's a drawing technique、more delicate than this、You can even do realistic things.。That's not the point、Do the best you can at the moment in a direction that makes sense to you.、It means。方向が間違っていたら? If you think about it, there is no end to it.、This is a direction that must have been explored by accumulating a lot of logic and intuition to reach this point.、I can't help it even if I'm wrong。That's the word convincing、what it means to me。

Apple is likely to continue for a while。Although it seems like one pattern、There are many things you can do with just one pattern.。The important thing now is not to listen to other people's opinions.。concentrate、Do what you want.、My intuition is whispering to me。

Is it no good to “make use of seasonal words”?

「Apple-rainbow」 2020 Arcid,oil on canvas

When you think of seasonal words, you think of haiku.。Since I started writing haiku as a hobby、I recently wrote that I held my 100th haiku meeting.。First, remember the seasonal words.、Try not to use seasonal words in one poem.、Anyway, it was all I could do to fit the 17-character format.。Halfway through, I started to feel that it would be easier if there were seasonal words.、Very recently, it is no good to have seasonal words in the first place.、Even though it's just an amateur's game,、Sometimes I find myself fascinated (in my heart) with the historical world of haiku.。

What does it mean to “make use of seasonal words”?。According to common sense at the junior high school level,、Each seasonal word has its own emotion.。For example, ``Koharu/Koharu Biyori'' means early winter (around November).、It refers to a bit of unseasonably warm weather (also a meteorological term).、That emotion is ``a small unexpectedness.''。in the season of winter、given suddenly、It feels like a small spring.”。that's why、The atmosphere is perfect when used to write about the subtleties of everyday life.。When used in this way, it is said to "make use of seasonal words" (apparently)。

that's why、Tragic scenes such as traffic accidents and anxiety、Do not use it when saying things like、That's what happens。Of course then、I have no choice but to choose words and motifs that are appropriate for the combination.、As a result, no matter who makes them, they tend to end up with similar phrases.。While matching the seasonal words and emotions perfectly、Freshness、Creating something new is no mean feat.。Not a professional haiku poet、It's natural for most people to go with what's easier.、No matter what you do, it will at most be just a piece of a pile of mediocrity.。

If you try to make up a phrase, you'll understand.、Seasonal words are very useful、And it's really well made。It's the ``best soup stock'' that instantly transforms into a haiku.。That's why 100% of people rely on it.。You can rely on me, but、You start to “see things” that way.。Even if there are no discoveries or ideas、If the combination with the motif is harmonious、I can make seemingly good phrases.。I intend to make use of seasonal words.、It becomes wrapped up in seasonal words.。That's bad。Comparing it to a picture、It ends up being a picture of “cranes on Mt. Fuji”。Isn't that bad?、complaining about the mediocre excuses。
