"First snow at the mountain lodge" has been uploaded

"First snow at the mountain lodge" has been uploaded。1I tried editing it with the goal of uploading it within a week.、It was just the last minute.。almost、I've been thinking about what to draw for a week.。And it's been a busy week、Editing takes a week no matter how hard you try.。In other words、3Weekly pace (assuming there are no other issues)。From an excellent YouTuber's point of view、Frequency of posts classified as “unmotivated”。

YouTube is just one “company”。Just because a post is free doesn't mean it's a volunteer.。If you pay to post、On the other hand, YouTube doesn't make money, so they just make it free.。99%The YouTube poster of、Just contributing to YouTube's profits、(That's fine as long as you can be self-satisfied) There is no so-called "profit"。

Many of the channels that can generate profits seem to be "corporate organizations"。Judging from the numbers alone, there are probably many pure individuals like me.、The actual work is really hard to do alone.、Ideas don't spread。I hear that there are many people who are even suffering from health problems.。I can understand that by feeling。

The sketch drawn in this video is not the actual scene.。The interview was on a sunny autumn day.、I changed it to a snowy scene。I have actually drawn outdoors when it rains and snows.、Oil painting is okay though、Watercolor has its limits.。
A windy day with pebbles flying、I once drew a piece of paper while pressing it against the ground with my weight.。When drawing from the top of a cliff、Tide particles flying from the sea、I was surprised to see that it absorbs water and forms unique patterns.。While I was drawing, my brushes and the water I was washing them with froze.、That kind of production scene、I think it's available on YouTube now、At that time, I was desperately trying to capture the time in front of me.。

Hokkaido/Sanriku subsequent earthquake information

                                                                                                   ”

2025December 8th, around 11:15 p.m.、Aomori Prefecture Eastern Offshore Earthquake Occurs。Magnitude 7.5、Considerable seismic energy was released。In Hachinohe City, Aomori Prefecture, the seismic intensity was 6+.。Severe damage has been reported on TV, etc.、Considering the magnitude of the earthquake and the time of occurrence、We can say that we are lucky that there seem to be almost no casualties (at the moment).。

my hometown、Higashidori Village had a seismic intensity of 5+.。I happened to want to take a break early.、Earthquake early warning sound immediately after going to bed。Next, from "Tsunami advisory for the eastern coast of Aomori prefecture"、turn on the monitor、get up。At that point, the advisory changed to a tsunami warning.、height 3 meters、Moreover, it has already arrived。The Higashidori nuclear power plant, located just a stone’s throw from my parents’ home, immediately came to mind.。
Around 23:30、I got a reply。``Don't worry, we evacuated to a height of 15 meters'' (remembering the Great East Japan Earthquake)、15Although it is not a safe area such as m)。My sister's family was also able to evacuate in an emergency.、Both of them are said to be beating the cold in their cars.。late next day、It was more than I expected from the intensity of the shock.、I received an email saying that there was much less damage.。

“Subsequent earthquake information” is、Apparently this is the first time the order has been issued.。Looking into the aftermath of some huge earthquakes、A big earthquake as a precursor、There is a pattern of an even bigger earthquake a little later (probability 1/100)、Prepare for the possibility of a magnitude 8 class earthquake occurring within the next week or so.、This is a warning that。
More than 100 local governments are targeted, from the east coast of Hokkaido to the Boso Peninsula in Chiba Prefecture.。For local governments too、It seems to be a nuisance for individuals and corporations as well.、Information that is “subtly important”。Not a “warning”、Formally, it's just "information" so the sender is not responsible.、The receiving local government cannot ignore it.、It is obvious that they are having difficulty responding.。
Is Japan, an earthquake-prone nation, proud? That's about it、The so-called “cost performance” is extremely bad “information”.。"but、What if…” Thinking about what to do in the event of unexpected human damage, etc.、Depending on the geographical conditions of the municipality、Even if the response can be imagined to be “excessive” (as a result),、There may come a time when you have no choice but to do it.。After all, there is a deadline of “one week”.。And it's 100% tax、99%Although it is said that there is a possibility that it will end in vain with a probability of、I'm sorry to say that it's an excuse that the Japan Meteorological Agency said so.。
Local governments have no choice but to make decisions on their own.、There is no way such an expert exists outside of the government offices of major cities.。So, should I not release it?、I don't have the knowledge to directly refute that.。

Rather than “relying on the Self-Defense Forces after a (disaster) occurs”、Researching these issues on a regular basis、train、Shouldn't we create something like a "disaster agency" to implement the measures?、It seemed like this discussion would start in the Ishiba Cabinet.、The clouds disappeared as soon as the Takaishi Cabinet was born.。Disasters have nothing to do with cabinet policy.、no matter who is the prime minister、It can happen right now。Shouldn't we consider establishing one as soon as possible?。

招待券を頂いていた「西房浩二展(後期)」を観に千葉県流山市おおたかの森にある「森の美術館」に行ってきた西房さんのもう一つの個展のことはすでに紹介した(2025.10.03の記事)がこちらには彼のごく初期の作品もあるというので興味もあった会期は2025年12月21日まで

今日も朝から快晴昨日あたりから腰の調子もよく徒歩で駅から20分ちょっととあったのでウォーキングを兼ねるつもりで出かけた。20年以上前に「おおたかの森保存活動」のメンバーに誘われ「おおたかの森」には一度だけ来たことがあるそれ以後周辺はどんどん開発され大きな建物のならぶ “近代都市” になっていた美術館への曲がり角の目印になっているバス停留所が移動されたらしくだいぶ行き過ぎてしまった(ウォーキングとしてはよい)

初めて訪れたギャラリーは今年で10年目に入ったということで壁面もまだきれいだった森のほとり(隣接するのは「大畔(おおぐろ)の森」というちょっと混乱を招きそうな名称の森)のこじんまりしているがなかなか素敵な空間である環境が良いので深呼吸した気分で絵を見ることができる入館料は600円だがコーヒーと小さなお茶菓子付きなのでかなりお得だと思う

西房さんの作品は気持ちのいい写実絵画である能登の出身で現在も能登に住んで精力的に制作を続けているこれからも益々活躍する作家だと思う
