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.。

Look at Covid-19、How to think about “Japan”

「Snickers 2」 2020 is 15 years since the Great East Japan Earthquake

The new coronavirus (Covid-19) has spread to Europe and the Americas.、more australia、is spreading to Africa。In Asia, China and South Korea seem to have passed their peak.、Taiwan、The brink of whether Singapore will succeed in taking control。Similar to Japan in other Asian countries、It seems that many people are saying that the infection is spreading.。All countries around the world want to prevent the spread of the virus within their borders.、In terms of specific examples such as entry restrictions, Japan is almost on par with other countries.、In this process, Japan is a country whose way of thinking is completely different from the rest of the world.、It made me feel deeply。

Prime Minister Abe said, ``I will not listen to the advice of experts'' (it is my own judgment).、As far as I can see、Prime Minister of each country、The president said he would "constantly listen to the opinions of experts"、The stance of appealing to the public ``based on professional and scientific knowledge'' is in stark contrast.。surely、If you recall, he has confidently responded several times in his parliamentary speeches, saying, ``I (Abe) am the Prime Minister who ``is in charge of all things...''、I can nod my head that such an attitude makes sense.。Everyone thinks, ``If I could control all things, I wouldn't have caused COVID-19 in the first place.''、habit of lying、delusions of grandeur、Prime Minister's words that he is suffering from a serious condition called memory loss、It's a waste of time to worry about it now。

But、Don't underestimate Mr. Abe。He is a political genius、I think。I feel that I have a humanity that is extremely close to Hitler.。Geniuses are usually "pure hearted"。What is “pure heart”?、Doing things that only you can secretly profit from?、It means that there is no such calculation in the world (elections are different)。The purity of his grandfather Nobusuke Kishi's desire to risk his life to achieve his dreams (similar to the religious spirit of believing that it will benefit everyone)、That's、It will also be a force to unite the many simple and innocent (≠innocent) members of the Liberal Democratic Party who have no policy whatsoever to begin with.、I also think that it can represent the militaristic aesthetics (religion) of some people who praise things like the "Kamikaze spirit" as sublime (just to be safe)、It is impossible to believe that the members of the special attack corps in the former Japanese army were the only ones with such a simple spirit.、I don't think much about dew。Rather, the "Kamikaze spirit" is based on people who don't have to go on a special attack.、(I think it's just inflammatory language.)。

For those who share such aesthetics (religion)、Hit Japan against covid-19 with only the “hit and crush” spirit of the “Yamato tribe”、Moreover, there is probably a belief that ``we will definitely win''。want to put scientific evidence on the back burner、Such a divine idea compels the people to make ``Isagiyoi'' sacrifices.、I think this may be connected to the tendency to simply dismiss everything as ``one's own responsibility.''。

“corona” what is illuminated by

Gongendo Sakura Tsutsumi Saturday, March 21, 2020 3:00 p.m.。very quiet cherry blossom viewing

Continuing from March 18th (Wednesday), I went to Gongendo Sakuratsutsumi.。Four days ago, there were hardly any blooms.、The buds are swollen、I thought it would bloom once it got warmer on Saturday and Sunday.。Most of the trees were in bloom today.、Overall, there are still 1-2 minutes left in bloom.。During the current self-restraint mood,、There were more people than I expected, but、Still, it's much less than previous years.。That way you can watch it more slowly.、The noise from each stall playing different music and、There are no obtrusive lanterns、Just looking at the cherry blossoms is much more pleasant than usual.。

Speaking of quiet, the Sumo Spring Tournament is the place to be.。I always just listen to sumo on the radio.、Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the event will be held without spectators.、Not only the sounds of the wrestlers colliding with each other and the heavy breathing.、You can even hear the sound of your feet crunching the sand every time you cross a partition.。The Sumo Association will probably be disappointed because they won't get any box office revenue.、As a radio fan, my satisfaction level is much higher than the usual places.。High school baseball selection has been canceled、If the event was held without spectators、I'm sure this would have made baseball fans on the radio happy too.。

probably、Taking advantage of this coronavirus pandemic,、The way people work in Japan is sure to change.。Rather than the government taking the initiative and leading small work style reforms, etc.、quickly、change with effectiveness。As the period of self-restraint gets longer, more small and medium-sized businesses will close down.、There will be a lot of unemployed people、Maybe that's because Japan seems to be rapidly aging and declining.、shuffle all at once、It might be a chance to rejuvenate.、I also think。If you change the way you work, your way of thinking will also change.。There's some hope there。but、I don't know if I can last until then.。

If you think about it、(Especially in the north) In countries such as Italy, going outside is prohibited.。Depending on the region、Even when shopping for daily necessities, people have to carry something like a written explanation.。Such people、considered to be one of the sources of infection、If you look at cherry blossom viewing in Japan, where the number of domestically infected people is increasing,、It's no surprise that some people criticize us by saying, "Don't you understand other people's pain?"。It seems that people in the government and business world cannot understand such feelings.、Still insisting on holding the Olympics in July。It probably won't be possible、Even if they did, there would be a country that could not empathize with other people's pain.、for their own money、It will go down in history as the worst Olympics in which athletes from other countries were sacrificed for the sake of medals.。As expected, there were no people having parties under the cherry blossoms at Gongendo.。But、I'm sure there will be people partying under the Olympic flag.。

dish-washing

「Apple」 　2020 Alquid

I think about many things while washing the dishes.。Rather than sitting still and thinking、For some reason, I come up with better ideas while washing the dishes.。I often read that it is easier to come up with ideas while taking a walk.、In my case, my associations quickly spread from what I saw.、It doesn't seem suitable for thinking。

In most cases, the content of what we think is、It's about the picture I'm about to draw.、Washing the dishes after breakfast is the most important thing.。That's why、In a daze, I drop the plate and break it.、Nothing happens。Are there any stains left on the pots and pans?、Check to make sure there are no sauces or cabbage bits stuck to the bottom or edges of the sink.。Ideally, you should be more beautiful today than you were yesterday.、I think in my heart。While doing so、Try drawing the picture you are about to draw today in a different part of your head.。to simulate。

When you actually draw、The smoothness of the paint、I get distracted by color unevenness that happens by chance.、In the simulation, it's as calm as watching someone else draw.。Then, halfway through, it stops at a scene where you say, ``Huh? This is weird.''。Almost like recording and playback。Replaying the images in my head over and over again、Think about the causes and solutions for the areas of concern.。

There are only a few dishes to wash (especially in the morning), so it takes at most 30 minutes.。Usually it takes about 15 minutes。Most of the time, the immediate solution will be ready.。I can't think of anything big、Only one serving。Still、before actually standing in front of the canvas、This simulation is very effective。Washing the dishes is not my responsibility.。sit still、Because I might be standing all the time.、I just started doing it on my own to refresh my head and blood flow to my lower back.。A new relationship between washing dishes and painting。
