I want to travel

「Apple trip」 2020/02/02 Oil on canvas F6

I haven't traveled in a while。“Moving” and traveling are different。It's a selfish definition、There is something extraordinary about traveling.、Go to a place where you can feel a slight difference in scenery and culture。Can't even pass。And the condition is that you must eat local food there.。Furthermore, if you stay for one night or more, the feeling of traveling will greatly increase.。

Not just a journey through real time and space.、I may no longer travel in my imagination.。Rather than being busy、I've lost my sense of adventure.、surely。My challenger spirit is dying。ah。

When I was a student、I thought I could go anywhere with just a backpack and a sleeping bag.、In fact, I was able to travel for over a month dressed like that.。I always thought that if I went, everything would be okay.、When I was traveling, I saw the destination of the train that happened to pull into the platform next to me.、I suddenly felt intrigued and jumped on a train going in the opposite direction.、I enjoyed myself even if I had some troubles.。It's not just my own little adventurous spirit.、He sees a lot of recklessness.、This is because open hearts existed not only in Japan but everywhere in the world.、I also think。Being able to feel that humanity (even if it is not necessarily warm)、Maybe it was something I couldn't do without traveling.。

Let's travel。For now, it doesn't matter whether it's reality or fantasy.、First step。Challenges require determination、For the time being, I am inflating my curiosity, which is unnecessary for me to make a decision.。try touching it。try it。I want to regain a little more sense of playfulness.、I keep thinking that。

“What I’m looking for” – Are you still looking for something?

「Apple-jeans」　　　　 2020　 Tempera on canvas 　F6

It's not Yosui Inoue's "What are you looking for?"、Are you still looking for it?、I continue to experience the feeling of。It's not a "spiritual" search that you can't possibly find.、physical “power cable”、Should I give up on the search and buy a new one online?、Are you still looking for it?、The sad story of having two choices。

Today is an exhibition、An opening party for those involved will be held from 4 p.m.。I am also exhibiting、I was planning to go、morning、I have a slight headache from yesterday.、I thought maybe I had a cold, so I decided not to go.。And、shutter repair。couldn't do it。Then look for the cable。searching for something、In the end, you will have to clean up、For large-scale cleaning。But、not found。have lunch in the meantime、Because it was a fish、I gave some of it to the cat (who wears a collar) who sometimes comes to lie down in the garden.、Look for cables while watching them eat.。

Actually、I've been looking for it for three days now。The search range is limited (maybe that's just my imagination)、The search time per location must be considerable.。It's more careful than looking for a mole on your face.。half a year ago、From the moment I put it there、I feel like my fear of “this place might not be good” came true.。

Should I give up and buy a new one?、It's time to choose whether to continue searching.。I don't like it、Why did the shutters have to break at a time like this? Come to think of it、There were a lot of inch-sized mats left over.、I wonder why I would think of this at a time like this.。

The “power” of music、Art、The “power” of sports

"Western Pear" 29Jan’20 Watercolor F6

There is a musician named Ryuichi Sakamoto.。Even if you don't say you're a former YMO member,、Probably more people know。the other day、Read the interview article with him in Asahi Shimbun (electronic version)、I completely sympathized。

The word "power of music"、He says he doesn't like the way he says it.。encouraging people with music、It is true that it has the power to heal、He says he feels uncomfortable with that kind of way of saying things.。Although I don't say it clearly、The way you say it is kind of political.、I smell the danger of being socially oriented.、I felt that it meant。have a deep sympathy for that sense of smell。

Just as Wagner's heroic sound was exploited to the fullest by the Nazis.、Even in Japan, popular music is widely sung as ``military songs.''、Many people point out that it was used to glorify war.。Also、He also ``doesn't like'' high school students saying ``I want to impress them'' (through sports, etc.).。It's good if the recipient is impressed.、Isn't it arrogant for the performer to say "to impress"?、It is also called。I also deeply sympathize with this。Incidentally,、In particular, young athletes in sports often say the word "gratitude" over and over again.、I feel a strong sense of discomfort。Isn't that an appropriate word to use when you're retiring?。

Facilities and subsidies for athletes to compete、I feel grateful for the many tangible and intangible supports I receive.、Of course it can't be bad。But、素直な気持ちだけではない、I feel the ``pressure'' of having to say something.。without those words、I know that there will be various forms of bashing later.、This is because both players and officials feel strongly.。Unconsciously, we say, ``Because they're using our tax dollars.''、I feel that I deserve gratitude.、I realized that the pressure was on me from above.、we have to be more careful。And、I am well aware of that、There is also a dark power that is secretly used.、must be conscious at the same time、It is a sport that is firmly connected to the essence of current sports.。

power of music、power of art、power of sport。That's、People are not diverse (actually, this word has become something I don't particularly want to hear these days)、If it works in the direction of flattening (the words "empathy" and "impression" can also have a suspicious smell here)、It's real music、Art、Stripping away the power of sports、transform into something distorted、It can also be a type of cancer.。Ryuichi says, ``What I'm doing is fun in itself.''。That’s important.”。yes。just by looking at its existence、Taxes have already paid for themselves.。
