deep breath

“Rose Garden” demo production at watercolor class

It is said that ``One reading, 10 laughs, 100 sucks, 1,000,000 steps''、Do you know the words that summarize the secret to living a long and healthy life?。It seems to be a daily health practice goal.。I think many of you know this.、“One read” means reading a text with content at least once a day (“one book every day” is quite impossible)。To laugh loudly is to laugh ten times.。One hundred breaths is one hundred deep breaths.、1000 characters means writing sentences、It's the output。Maybe a diary would be good。10,000 steps literally means walking 10,000 steps (recently it seems that around 8,000 steps is good)。I don't know the source, but I think it's "Analects" or something.。

I started using this word relatively recently.、I learned this from someone who was practicing it at the time (now he is elderly).、It seems like I can no longer do 10,000 steps.)。I thought it was an ideal theory when I heard it.、I was shocked to hear that they had actually been doing this for a long time.。As you can imagine、Such a person is not just a person。I'm impressed too、I thought I'd try to imitate it even a little.、I haven't accomplished anything in a single day.。high school student、I feel like it could be done by university students.、If you've been doing it since then、There was a "possibility" that I could have become a slightly better person.。

Among the goals mentioned earlier、Surprisingly possible, but not possible are ``jusho'' and ``hyakusu.''。It's about laughing and breathing.、It seems like the most natural and easy thing to do.、Are you having problems with yourself or your family?、It's something you can't do if you're busy.。in this word、意志、意識、知識に関わるのが「一読」と「千字」。「百吸、万歩」が身体、「十笑」が心に関わること、だと思います。心が閉じていれば笑うことができません（医学的にはハッハッハッハと声を出せば似たような効果があるそうですが）。
　怠け者でもできそうなのが唯一「深呼吸」ではないかと思うのですが、今度は忘れてしまうのです。百回というと一気にというわけにはいきません。何回かにわけてやることになるでしょうが、忙しいとつい後回しになり、結局は忘れてしまうのです。身体に関わると分類しましたが、やっぱり心がざわついているとできません。心を平らかにしなさい、ストレスを身体から吐き出す、という訓えなんでしょうね。

わたしの実践は、その方の十分の一がせいぜいでした。それを心がけていてさえも、is。皆さんはいかがでしょうか。せめて深呼吸だけでもしよう・・そうか、深呼吸って、姿勢が悪いとできないのか・・忙しさに紛れて自分を忘れてちゃできないんだ・・立ち止まって自分をじっと見ることなんだな―・・なんて。　深呼吸って意外に深いなあ・・。

After the Shinshunkai '23 Exhibition

“Looking at the Garden” Tempera F6 2010

The Chenshunkai exhibition ended yesterday (2023.06.18)。To everyone who took the time to come and see us、thank you。Thank you。I myself have received many messages from various people.、I would like to receive an invitation to an exhibition.、Not just busyness、I am often unable to go due to poor health etc.、I can truly feel the word “wazawa”。thank you。

Starting today, we will move on to the next schedule.、That's a rather boring greeting, though.、That's the reality。"Next schedule" may sound like you're working on a new work.、In fact, it's even more stupid、First, clean up after the exhibition.。The little things that had been interrupted since then、Finish as many unfinished chores as possible、Finally finished drawing、Or you can start working on your new work.。Considering how hard it was to start painting、Honestly, I'm pretty tired。But、Not just me、Because everyone is like that、I have no choice but to swallow it.。

6 days during the exhibition period、Many people came to see it.、Each member gives a brief explanation in front of each picture.。Just look at the picture、You are free to interpret it as well.、Not only is the explanation redundant;、It also has the negative side of giving a certain direction to the sensibilities and interpretations of the viewer.。In that respect、I think it's better to say nothing as much as possible.、Apparently that's not all.。
What to explain to others、About the picture in front of me and the process so far、About the picture I'm about to draw、It will give you an opportunity to think from outside the picture.。That's a big plus for writers.、It can be said that the exhibition is held for that purpose.。Maybe all you need to do is ask yourself some deep questions.、Repeated questions and answers with strangers、Filter your thoughts through a new filter than usual.、I think it will help me sharpen my skills.。

However、After all, I'm doing something different than usual.、I feel strangely tired。When I was young, I was so focused for two to three months before an exhibition that I couldn't focus on anything other than the picture in front of me.、For two to three months after the event closed, I was in a state of collapse and had so many ups and downs that I couldn't do anything else.。I no longer have solo exhibitions.、That is no longer the case、The reason why I still feel tired may be because my age is added to it.。10 years left、No, 5 years left、What can you express in the end?、This may be an exaggeration, but、I think the meaning of life is being questioned.、I was thinking about it all the time。

"Brightness" that says "I'm happy now"

Sweaty Blood Horse Mixed Media 2010

Are you “happy now”?。very recently、I have heard this word from several people.、I was just thinking about what that meant.。Unfortunately、myself、I don't have the confidence to say that now.。

One person had cancer a few years ago.、At one point, I didn't even want to go out in public.、It seems like he's even feeling depressed.、Change your thinking from there、He says he is enjoying a modest but fulfilling life.。Despite his age, one person takes advantage of his many hobbies and talents.、Every day I fly around while paying attention to my health。One person has been living with an incurable disease for a long time and has come close to despair many times.、He said that he feels the joy of painting while maintaining a lull.。Others、In the same way, someone is going through a difficult time (or is in the middle of it)、There are several people who say, ``Right now is the happiest time.''。

I must have heard similar words when I was younger.、Now that I'm older, I hear it differently.。When I was younger, I tended to think of it as ``small satisfaction'' and somewhat contemptuously.。now、The more time passes, the more I come to think that it is a ``precious thing.''。People who have difficulty answering the question “Are you happy now?”、Someone who can't even feel like answering、I'm sure such people truly feel how precious it is.。
Not only the war in Ukraine、Last night, a boat carrying many refugees capsized in front of a coast guard boat.、100There was news that most of the people and children on board were in a hopeless situation.。This kind of thing continues all over the world.。Even in Japan without war、heavy rain、Suddenly lose your home due to an earthquake, etc.、It is not uncommon to see people thrown out.。Let's make the country "capable of war" etc.、I don't think it's the height of stupidity.。

now、draw your favorite picture、You can listen to your favorite music freely。This is by no means a "small satisfaction"、That is something that I have finally come to understand at this age.。I'm a pretty stupid person、However, not only humans、all animals、Plants are also “alive”、Even at this moment, we are actually fighting for our lives.。Even if you don't include that much, you can still say that you are happy now.、Not even a small satisfaction、On this finite earth, I think it's fair to say that the brilliance is close to a "miracle."。
