The day I ate “Hoto”

Shosenkyo 2013

Searching for materials on computer、I found an old sketch。This is from when I went on a day trip to Shosenkyo Gorge (Kofu City, Yamanashi Prefecture) with some people from my art class.。of the same composition、There were about 4 photos, including one with just the water surface in the center.。

The composition was interesting too、Above all, my eyes were drawn to the beauty of the water surface.。after、Many bubbles on the surface of the water、A small whirlpool that flows、bright water surface、I started drawing mainly dark and deep water surfaces.。Maybe that was the reason。

Above all、I thought, "I hope you're doing well."。Until this place、I must have walked on a narrow mountain path for several minutes (I've forgotten most of it).。On the way home、I clearly remember eating the famous ``hotou udon'' at a riverside restaurant.。

If your body is healthy、You'll feel better too。I feel like that。I can't afford to lose to the coronavirus。I want to sketch outside again。

Shinsuke Fujisawa Exhibition

"Dependents of the Forest" Tree、Wire (Exhibited by Shinsuke Fujisawa)
"Kirigami" pasted on the gallery window (the person in the back is not the artist)

Even though I was invited to hold a solo exhibition every year, I continued to feel unreasonable.、Fujisawa's solo exhibition in Shimokitazawa、I was able to go there for the first time in several years.。For me, Mr. Fujisawa is ``a person above the clouds.''。It's almost 50 years since I first set foot in the art world.。I guess I'm a little good at it、I'm not surprised at all that it's unique and that people are praising it.、I don't feel jealous。But、his sense of freedom、It looks like I can reach it, but I can't reach it.、I feel like I can grab it, but I can't.、It is truly a high existence like a cloud.。

"Dependents of the Forest"。A park?、A broken twig that could probably be found in someone's garden.、talking about one world。rather than、Mr. Fujisawa、Breathe new life into these people who are on the verge of disappearing.、It seems to me that we have created a stage to talk about.。To him like that、Twigs are very easy-going、speak to。-If you write it like that, you'll say, ``Oh.、That's the world."、There will always be someone who pretends to know。But his short sword、They are skilled enough to reveal their noses.。Was it Sei Shonagon?、It is said that "a knife that is too sharp" is not good.、his knife is、Do not cut to the point where it breaks naturally.。I hate my heart、It's a sense that knows how to restrain itself.。

Another thing that impressed me was、“(Semi-transparent) cut paper (carelessly) pasted” on the window (bottom photo)。I am Kotaro Takamura's wife、I am in awe of Chieko's paper cutting.、Despite showing such brilliance (technically more than that)、They will probably be seen as ``off display'' to most visitors.。"Those who understand will understand," he says.、author's silence、Actually, it's not "random" at all.、I guess it's a challenge。Paper-cutting (I dare not call it paper-cutting) like the ones you see in videos such as ``Fujin Raijin'', ``Chōjū Giga'', and ``Monkey and Crab Gassen''、Maybe that's his true strength.。Please look carefully。

According to what I secretly asked his wife (this was the first time we met)、At first, I wanted to do it only with watercolors.。In that sense、This time, my eyes were drawn only to the extra parts.、Because he's still a young man、I'm sure someday an eye-catching watercolor painting will be created.。

When autumn comes, it will be bright in my eyes...

“Manjushaka” 2020.10.2 4:30pm, Japan

It was hot today。I was wearing only a T-shirt during the day.、When I go for a walk on my bike in the evening、It's definitely different from the intense heat of a few weeks ago.。At the Manjusha flower in a nearby park、The setting sun was shining。while taking a photo、The sound of the wind passing over it、Really refreshing。I couldn't help but feel the song ``Autumn Comes...'' (It's also very easy to see)。

There was a monthly haiku meeting yesterday.。With the naive idea of ​​a haiku gathering for fun、It is something that is forced to be prepared the day before the haiku meeting.、My family reads it as "Fabricated Haiku Society" (I feel sorry for the other members)。Yesterday, October 1st, was the “Full Moon of Mid-Autumn”.、The title of the haiku is "Mei (full moon)"。

句会での最高点は、Mr. S's motto: ``Green oranges lined up with purchasing department stationery''。ほぼ満票だった。Of course I gave it the highest score.。Because I am aware that I am quite perverse.、I have almost no desire to be chosen (though I do want them to understand the content).。but、Recently, the members have gotten used to it.、私のひねくれを、I'm actually worried that he doesn't seem to feel that way anymore.。

The title of my poem is ``Sucking the full moon and the eyes of the sea bream.''。I don't think it makes sense、For some reason it was surprisingly popular。Last month、A sharp depiction of the landscape of political apathy in contemporary Japan.、He submitted a confident work titled ``They are smiling in the autumn heat''.、0点だった
