This has been living here, at the window side in my studio for ten years over. Small pot.
A cactus that has been sitting next to my studio window for 10 years.。in a small pot。

The sketch is、From Shiriyazaki Lighthouse overlooking the Pacific Ocean、It is located just a short distance to the south.、I drew an antenna several tens of meters high and its base.。The base structure is tiny.、Concrete equipment room。But、For some reason every time I come here、(Even if I don't draw the famous lighthouse) I always want to draw this antenna.。Something involuntarily stirs my heart。On a bus excursion for fourth graders、I remember drawing this the first time I came.。Look at this antenna、It's strange because I still feel almost the same way I felt then.。
A buzzard (medium-sized hawk) is flying in the sky。A short pine forest continues in the distance、In the depths, the height of Shitsukari (discipline) is 2、300m long cliff、The Pacific Ocean is pushed out from the right to the left of the screen.。This completes my picture。I live between people and cars every day.、I've been feeling a little tired lately.。Drawing this sketch is like a ticket to another world。...Maybe somewhere in my heart I admire buzzards.。


A tree representing Shimokita、If you do a survey, it will be 100% true.。It is called Aomori Hiba, but there are not many Hiba in the Tsugaru region.。The famous production area for Hiba is undoubtedly the Shimokita Peninsula.。My parents also have Mt. Hiba.、lumber it and sell it、That's how our grandfathers and fathers fed us.。So to speak, eat Hiba、It's like I grew up breathing in that fragrance.。In that sense, I have an obligation to rank Hiba number one no matter what.。But、I dare to mention “Yashabushi” here.。
If we have a questionnaires survey in Japan as what is the tree of representative Shimokita , it must be “Hiba ” trees that wii get 100 % of votes. As famous “Aomori-hiba” , but Hiba lives in Tugaru area in Aomori pref a little. It is the best location of product is Shimokita. My grand and my father have brought up our family by keeping Hiba forests and selling those trees. In a sense, it looks like that I heve grown up by eating “Hiba” trees and brething its beautiful perfume. So I know that I have to push it up as Nunber 1 of the tree of Shimokita. However , I’d like to nominate “Yasyabushi” as No, 1 in this time.※”Hiba” is a kind of “Hinoki ” trees. This kind of tree is valued at the best of woods from the old time in Japan.
The palm tree is a strong tree that can grow in any wasteland.。The growth of this tree stabilizes the soil.、can take the next step。The palm tree bends sharply、Not strong enough as a building material、Not only is it of no use、Locals dislike the tree because it obstructs development.。But、If you think about it carefully, you could say that Yashabushi is a leader who slashes into the wasteland.。In a sense, the tree is a stone left behind for the next generation.。If we compare it to humans、He's a great guy who can't be compared to me.、It is also a tree that evokes a sense of awe in my heart.。
“Yashabushi” is very strong trees lived in all kind of the wasteland. The soil of damp ground is stabilised by this tree that live in. That wasteland will be good condition for people’s usu. However this tree itself is not only completely usufull at timber, but it also interrut grow other plant’s up. So it has been hatred by local people. Howevew, from the other point of view, Yashabushi is like a pioneer of opening bushes. So I feel like to respect it.
