I want to go fishing

「Green Apples」 2020 water color

It's been many years now、I haven't gone fishing in the river or the sea.。Both river (lake) fishing rods and sea fishing rods.、Some sleep in the space under the stairs.。There are many types that do not use lures (fish-shaped baits) or worms (insect-shaped baits).。Fluorescent float with lithium battery for night fishing、headlight、life jacket、Shoes for the beach... (probably) all ready for immediate use.。

The owner of the Chinese restaurant I used to frequent when I was a student (of course the prices were for students) loved fishing.、People mistook my sketching backpack and easel set for fishing gear.、“Where did you go fishing today?” over and over again、I asked questions from behind the counter every time.。Thinking about it now, ``that's the good thing about fishing.''、I'll give this person a special service.。Isn't it good? ” I think he was hinting to the other customers in the store.。What kind consideration。At that time, I couldn't take such consideration seriously.、“I can’t believe I don’t even know the difference between fishing tools and sketching tools.、I thought maybe my eyesight is bad.。It's embarrassing though、I can finally understand it now。

In England at one time、It is said that the ``duty of a father'' that he must convey to his son is ``fishing'' (manners).。“(Trout) fishing” and “(Fox) hunting” are、It was a ``required subject'' that every ``noble boy'' must master (apparently).。in isolation、To the successive shoguns of the Edo shogunate, who were disconnected from European culture.、There is a fact that ``Falconry'' was made a required subject (there are many cases that cannot be described as ``coincidence'').。I don't necessarily approve of that, but、Why “fishing”?、I really wanted to know what it meant.。so、I read Walton's ``Encyclopedia of Diaoyu'' (this is a masterpiece).。

If someone says, ``There's no need to learn from Britain,''、I have no choice but to be silent。But I'm angry、Please show me the ``reason'' to assert that ``there is no need for that.''、It is normal to say about。

Continuing the Apple series。why do you continue、Sometimes I feel like I don't understand、Anyway, from the work in front of me、I feel like I could draw something more interesting, so I can't quit easily.。concentrate、You have to keep going all at once to the point where you say, ``I can't do this anymore.''、The experience inside me is whispering。

There is something called "getting lost"。The hardest part is when I feel anxious and wonder, ``Is it okay to do something like this?''。I don't understand what I'm doing now、It's time to。Because I'm anxious、Naturally, I also lose confidence.。But、that's important、It's definitely painful though、All kinds of worries、Take a step and think again on the spot。That's better、Unfounded self-confidence、Just move your hands without worrying about anything、It's much more legitimate than that、Maybe it's better。

Even as I continue to work on this series, I sometimes feel anxious, wondering if it's okay to do something like this.。And、no matter what people say、This is all I can do now、I changed my mind and continued again.。“What you can do now” is not a matter of ability.。If it's a drawing technique、more delicate than this、You can even do realistic things.。That's not the point、Do the best you can at the moment in a direction that makes sense to you.、It means。方向が間違っていたら？ If you think about it, there is no end to it.、This is a direction that must have been explored by accumulating a lot of logic and intuition to reach this point.、I can't help it even if I'm wrong。That's the word convincing、what it means to me。

Apple is likely to continue for a while。Although it seems like one pattern、There are many things you can do with just one pattern.。The important thing now is not to listen to other people's opinions.。concentrate、Do what you want.、My intuition is whispering to me。

Is it no good to “make use of seasonal words”?

「Apple-rainbow」 2020 Arcid,oil on canvas

When you think of seasonal words, you think of haiku.。Since I started writing haiku as a hobby、I recently wrote that I held my 100th haiku meeting.。First, remember the seasonal words.、Try not to use seasonal words in one poem.、Anyway, it was all I could do to fit the 17-character format.。Halfway through, I started to feel that it would be easier if there were seasonal words.、Very recently, it is no good to have seasonal words in the first place.、Even though it's just an amateur's game,、Sometimes I find myself fascinated (in my heart) with the historical world of haiku.。

What does it mean to “make use of seasonal words”?。According to common sense at the junior high school level,、Each seasonal word has its own emotion.。For example, ``Koharu/Koharu Biyori'' means early winter (around November).、It refers to a bit of unseasonably warm weather (also a meteorological term).、That emotion is ``a small unexpectedness.''。in the season of winter、given suddenly、It feels like a small spring.”。that's why、The atmosphere is perfect when used to write about the subtleties of everyday life.。When used in this way, it is said to "make use of seasonal words" (apparently)。

that's why、Tragic scenes such as traffic accidents and anxiety、Do not use it when saying things like、That's what happens。Of course then、I have no choice but to choose words and motifs that are appropriate for the combination.、As a result, no matter who makes them, they tend to end up with similar phrases.。While matching the seasonal words and emotions perfectly、Freshness、Creating something new is no mean feat.。Not a professional haiku poet、It's natural for most people to go with what's easier.、No matter what you do, it will at most be just a piece of a pile of mediocrity.。

If you try to make up a phrase, you'll understand.、Seasonal words are very useful、And it's really well made。It's the ``best soup stock'' that instantly transforms into a haiku.。That's why 100% of people rely on it.。You can rely on me, but、You start to “see things” that way.。Even if there are no discoveries or ideas、If the combination with the motif is harmonious、I can make seemingly good phrases.。I intend to make use of seasonal words.、It becomes wrapped up in seasonal words.。That's bad。Comparing it to a picture、It ends up being a picture of “cranes on Mt. Fuji”。Isn't that bad?、complaining about the mediocre excuses。
