It's good to have free time

"Snickers" 2020 Watercolor

Classrooms have become irregular due to the aftermath of the new coronavirus (COVID-19).、I have a whole week off from today (3/15).。On Saturday, there was a watercolor class in the morning.、I drew a watercolor sketch in the morning and afternoon.。

when is the sketch、what、It's fun to draw in any shape。Don't think about anything difficult、I just enjoy the confrontation between what's in front of me and my senses.。I don't draw with the intention of showing it to anyone.、Even if you stop halfway、Even if I draw it playfully, it doesn't bother me at all。This time too、Because there happened to be a snicker in front of me、I just thought I'd try drawing it a little more realistically.。

But、That's because I have free time。If it was COVID-19 that gave me that free time,、indirectly I benefited from it、Could that be the case?。in any case、If you don't have time, you can't sketch.。What is a professional painter?、I think it's someone who buys time in exchange for money.、Most people in the world are just the opposite.、You may think of yourself as someone who sells your time in exchange for money.、I know at least。

Culture is created by free time.、It is often said that。However、For the “Hima people” who are the origin of it,、Society, at least since modern times, has become very uncomfortable.。work with sweat on your forehead、work hard、work at the expense of...etc.。for the company、for family、Only things such as for the sake of society are “productive”、This is because the Himans have been seen as ``useless people.''。Everything is for me personally、The common denominator is that it is not。Is there a Japanese aesthetic called “selflessness”? There is a gap where。It is also the root of what we call black ideology in modern times.。someone's、I don't deny that it's good for something.。But no matter what the damage is、If it is based on “selflessness”、I'm 100% against that kind of "productive"。

busy people、Manage your time and free up time。In that free time、Take your favorite train journey、Collecting insects and plants from mountains and rivers where no one goes。Even if it is just “my own enjoyment”、Eventually, water flows from a high place to a low place.、Connecting just a little to the happiness of all people。You can call it a hobby、I want to cherish that kind of free time.。

chaos

「Green Apple」 2020 is 15 years since the Great East Japan Earthquake

"Chaos" is usually translated as "chaos" or "disorder"。This word is often used to mean "I can't find the answer" or "it's random."、here、It is used with a slightly mathematical meaning.。

Everyone can predict the future。Calculate how long it would take to go to a certain place by car at 30km/h、I call a friend to give me the estimated arrival time, including traffic jams.。In mathematics, things that can be predicted simply by calculation are called "linear."。1If you sow 100 kg of seeds on a hectare of land, you will get a harvest of 500 kg.。Then, if you sow 200 kg of seeds over 2 hectares next year, you can expect a harvest of 1000 kg.。This is also a kind of future prediction.。However, the price of seeds is unstable.、Not sure how many seeds you can buy、The relationship between planted area and yield cannot be easily predicted in conditions where the climate is unstable and heavy rain can uproot the crop.。In this way, various conditions are intricately intertwined.、(Predicting the future is not simple) This kind of thing is called "nonlinear" in mathematics.。This means that many things in daily life are nonlinear.。

Well then、Does chaos mean nonlinear?、That's what I'm thinking, but it seems a little different.。For example, let's say there is a weather forecast that says "light rain tomorrow afternoon."。Then I'll do the laundry tomorrow.、I'm thinking of going out the next day in the morning.。The weather map also confirms this.。The next day will be a laundry day as predicted.。But the day after next、The rain that was supposed to start in the afternoon started in the morning.、And even though it was raining heavily, I went out with an umbrella.、The rain stopped in the afternoon。Everyone has had such an experience.。Calculated from the weather map、I can predict it、The result is not what I expected。“The results may not (necessarily) turn out as expected.”。That's chaos (in a mathematical sense)。

Although the situation is similar、A small difference can make a big difference in the results。This is "chaos theory"、This is a mathematical theory published in 1961 by a meteorologist named Lorenz.。I think this theory is a good representation of the reality around us.。In the beginning, my drawings got better each time I drew.、It was fun and I was able to take on more and more challenges.、For some reason it's not fun these days。I have the technical ability to draw anything, but the results are inconsistent.。around the same time、I'm jealous of my friends who started in the same way and are drawing with Runrun...Isn't this chaotic?。If we change the conditions a little、I might be able to make a particularly wonderful picture tomorrow.。This is also chaotic。But、Just because you keep doing it hard doesn't mean you can produce great works one after another.。Everyday life is "nonlinear"。

Masks don't just cover your nose and mouth.

「Green apple」(unfinished) 2020

One month has passed since it was reported that patients with pneumonia caused by a new virus appeared in Wuhan, China.。At first, there were 5 to 6 people involved in the wet market.、I was hospitalized all at once.、A video was shown of people disinfecting the area to suspect that the infection may have come from food.。

It quickly became popular、A metropolis with over 10 million people living in it、Wuhan’s de facto “lockdown”、Ban on travel from Hubei province。Not only within China, such as refusing entry to each country for those staying in the province.、international issues, including human rights issues;、It seems to be causing an almost emotional reaction.。radio、On TV (although the way it is reported is a bit unusual)、Related news such as masks being sold at abnormally high prices online、Reported on the top every day。

Regarding the cruise ship “Diamond Princess” calling at Yokohama Port and quarantine、The Japanese government's inability to manage crises is gradually becoming clearer.。I am saddened by the fact that the prime minister and other ministers lack the ability and imagination to grasp the situation.、I'm really surprised。The phrase "leaving it to the field" is still a favorable opinion.、The point is, all you have to do is maintain a posture that says, “We are dealing with it.”。I don't feel any seriousness there.。Some critics defend it by saying it's because they're not used to it.、Japan dispatches medical teams around the world whenever an emergency arises.。The experiences and lessons learned from that、I realized that it would not be utilized at all in my own country.、As a taxpayer, should I readily accept this?。

Cruise ships, etc. where people from various countries board、We need to be particularly sensitive to international human rights issues.、That should be the reason why politicians exist.、Leaving the countermeasures meeting after 3 or 6 minutes (afterwards)、Prime Minister having a 3-hour dinner with businessmen, minister absent (to attend a support meeting), etc.、People who cannot judge national priorities、This means that they are forming a cabinet that advocates "national interest."。Originally, Japan is a country where awareness and knowledge of "human rights" is extremely low.、The government is proving this ``naturally.''、I can see the pathos of a previous era.。

But、If you think about it, it's all our responsibility.。choose that person、I continue to support such a government.。But、But、But、It is also a ``bad'' educational effect that has been repeated over a long period of time.。For example, under the slogan "Develop individuality"、Contradiction between “expected human image” and “cooperativeness”。A teacher who cannot distinguish between “criticism/criticism” and “blame”、education committee、presence of politicians。"freedom of expression"、Limit the meaning of "freedom" to as small as possible、Expressions that only old people can understand are lumped together and viewed as ``selfish''、Our "extremely small amplitude" society。ah。somehow、In order not to go astray、It's like I've actually closed off the road.。by the way、Masks also have the ability to restrict breathing.。
