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.。

Ominato (Ominato)

Maritime Self Defense Force big scrape the base of 2012 the first month

2 minutes by car from the hospital where I went to take care of my father、Maritime Self-Defense Force Ominato Inspector General Headquarters (former Japanese Navy Ominato Base 60 years ago)。The beginning of the Pacific War、It seems that the combined fleet for the attack on Pearl Harbor was assembled here)。It is currently the Ominato/Hokkaido Area Headquarters of the Maritime Self-Defense Force.。Evening of January 3rd、A calm winter day for the first time in a while、This photo was taken when I stopped by on my way home from the hospital.。

When I was in elementary school、There was a group called the Marine Boys.。I was thin and lanky, but I was attracted to the strong image of a ``sea man'' and aspired to join the group.。I learned the flag signals quickly (and for some reason I still remember them).。I used to admire white officer uniforms, but now it seems like a dream.、Looking at the ship、I'm still kind of nervous。

I'm from a generation that doesn't know about war.。But when I talked about my parents when I was a child, I think there were a lot of stories about them being involved in the war.。Less than 20 years after the war,、The memory must have still been fresh.。

for the country、for parents。That's how I looked at my grandfather and parents, who couldn't look at themselves.。I'm sorry for that.、I'll live my way、I used to laugh off my parents' concerns.、When it comes to my own children,、I'm shocked as well.。

The base's bugle sounded。I have already forgotten the meaning of each trumpet.。　　　2012/1/16

 

 

 

Recall about snow

 

冬の下北（Simokita in winter）2012

Shimokita、No, the snowy scenery is beautiful, not just in Shimokita.。It is often referred to as a monochrome world.、I tend to think like that、If I look back at my own experience,、Everyone will remember that this was never the case.。

the other day、Touch this snowy landscape、I wrote that I felt like I had gone home to retrieve something I had forgotten.。That's certainly true。As a junior high school student, I didn't study much at all.、I became obsessed with trapping rabbits, woodcock, etc.、On the way、I almost lost my skiing twice.、During my trip home, I talked about it with my younger brother and mother almost every night.。They are ingrained somewhere in my body.、When I saw snow like this, I could feel myself getting excited.。without my father、２、I might have gone out to set a rabbit trap on the 3rd.。most、I'm sure I wouldn't have even returned home if it wasn't for that.。

When I first started drawing seriously、After using various colors、I kept thinking that the ending was monochrome after all.、It's probably because I've seen scenery like this before.。Before I knew it, I was caught up in life、I had even forgotten that。Someone once said that I was a "fantasy writer."。That's probably true。For some reason, I've felt that way since I was a very small child.。snow fosters fantasy。Snow country is fortunate。

 

 

I came back from Shimokita。

2011 twilight れ under North

Happy new year。Thank you for your continued support this year。I received many New Year's cards.。thank you。But、I haven't been able to send a single letter this year.。I'm sorry。

Shortly after the start of December, my computer broke and I sent it in for repair.、I was able to get it repaired within the year.、I had already returned to Shimokita on the 24th to check on my father.、I have stopped sending New Year's cards this year.。I went to my father's hospital every day for 11 days from the 25th to January 4th to take care of him? to help、I drove over a mountain road and went to the hospital, which took an hour to an hour and a half each way.。

August surgery、I was transferred to a rehabilitation hospital in November and this is my third hospital.、One by one, I am unable to do it each time.。I was able to talk properly immediately after the surgery.、I was able to accurately answer my name and date of birth.、At the next hospital, I was unable to speak.、I can no longer recognize my family。At the hospital this time, I can't even eat anymore, even though they give me food.、I'm just getting thinner。My body is stiff and stiff。Is it a rehabilitation hospital? ? ? I thought so、If you don't eat it anyway, that's it、I decided to focus my work on making sure they had enough to eat, even if it was only for lunch.。There is little the family can do。But during those 11 days, I felt that there were things I could only do as a family.。

The snowy roads I was not used to were scary at first.、As you get used to it, you will have more time to look around you.、You can now enjoy driving through the ice-covered mountain roads that sparkle with light.。Above all、The beauty of pure snow、Powder snow dances in the wind、I was able to see the beauty of the snow every day, where it was hard to tell whether it was a road or a snowy field.、It cheered me up a lot.。The freshness of the cold and clear air。I felt like I was returning home to retrieve something I had forgotten.。

I didn't see a single person coughing in Shimokita.、I completely forgot about the cold、Yesterday (5th) evening、A large number of people started coughing as soon as they arrived at Omiya Station on the Shinkansen.。ah、There's a cold here。With that feeling、While cherishing the beautiful snowy scenery in my heart、I went home feeling like I was going to live in this again from today.。
