weed

The most delicate plant on my windowsill

"There's no plant called weeds."。All plants have names、I heard this on the radio that Emperor Showa once said、My mother often said。Emperor Showa was also known for his research into plants.。

yesterday、During my walk I noticed that the underside of the weeds on the roadside was dark.。There's a rain、Is that underneath still not drying、That kind of dark spot。But、Yesterday it was unlikely to rain.、Looking at the other side of the road, there is no darkness。probably、I thought it was a herbicide。

The weeds on the side of the road become as tall as they are、It's leaning and is in the way of pedestrians and cars。Weeds have already been cut off on the same road。I imagine、Every day heatstroke warning alert、Some companies have been entrusted with weeding by the city.、It must have been impossible to do daytime harvesting work.。So, as an alternative, the discussion was brought together by spreading herbicides.。

It may be similarly hot next year、I'm sure everyone is predicting that。given that、I can imagine spreading herbicides next year too。In recent climates, it may last for years。Soaking into the soil、Herbicides that increase concentration、It could also be affected on the human body and the environment.、Such a survey would be unexpected if it were a city-level budget.。
Sometimes I compare myself to weeds。If you could live "as strong as weeds"、What admiration I might have、Will she be spreading herbicides?、If that's the case, I don't know what to do。It's been a while since I predicted rain in the middle of the night。From the perspective of weeds、You might be hoping that "I wonder if the heavy rain will wipe out the poison."。

The unusual heat continues

"Midsummer Pure Land" study work (separate from the previous work)

The heat continues。"Another thing" is、For example, refers to the highest temperature in Kitami City, Hokkaido, yesterday (July 24th) of 39.0℃ (highest ever in Kitami City).。Whether it's "abnormal" or not、It's just a matter of "personal feeling"、For example, just because the temperature exceeds 40°C on the Deccan Plateau, India.、No one thinks it's "abnormal"、It's Kitami in Hokkaido (which should be cool)、Even if you say that、Well, it's not inappropriate either。

Kumagaya City, Saitama Prefecture, is a hot topic due to the summer heat (Japan's highest temperature: 41.1℃.2018、Hamamatsu City, Shizuoka Prefecture 2020) and Kiryu City, Gunma Prefecture、In Tajimi City, Gifu Prefecture, etc.、You might think that it's just "hotter than usual."。Incidentally, looking at the highest temperatures in Kitami City in the past, 38.1℃(2019)、37.2It is set to ℃ (2021).、4th place and below is 37.1°C, 2022、2023Continued、10The position is 37.0℃。In other words、例年なら37℃あたりまでがピークだからそれよりいきなり2℃も高かったことになるそれにしても北海道もついに南国化してしまったことの象徴なのだろうか

A certain illusion

「盛夏浄土」  水彩F6

教室でのデモンストレーション制作をしてみた写真にしてみると「垂直」がかなり傾いていることに気づくあらためて作品を見るとこの写真ほどには感じないが垂直線が右に傾いているのは確かだった

後期印象派の画家セザンヌの垂直線も10度くらい傾いているそれを指摘している美術書をわたしは見たことがないがあれは感覚的な“クセ”だろうと思っているセザンヌの “10度” は垂直線に対してどれも同じ角度で傾いているからわたしは癖だろうと判断したのだが、in my case、よく見るといくらか放射状に開いているように見える。In other words、これは癖ではなくなにかの原因による「錯覚」だと思う

水平垂直にかけては絶対の自信を持っていたはずの自分の感覚にゆらぎを感じざるを得ない理由はなんだろう視力が悪くなってきたためか感覚が鈍くなってきたせいか視野が狭くなって比較がおろそかになってきたからだろうか等々

おそらく一つの原因というのではなく複合的に重なり合って「錯覚」が起きているのだろうまあいいこういうことが自分にも起こるようになってきたということを自覚しておこう
