大晦日

“Hometown River (Prototype)” Watercolor

It's finally the last day of 2025.。I suddenly thought of it、I put off what I need to do today and drew it.。Although it is not a completed form、It became visible as a platform。

2025It was also a year of war.。Someone somewhere was shouting, ``I could end the war in 24 hours.''、No one in the world believed that.。Because I know that no one will believe me、I guess he was relieved and bluffed.。probably、I just wanted to stand out.。
 War is worthless。But、expend world-shaking energy on it。If you spend that much money and human life (!)、Everyone wonders what wonderful things they can do.、It seems that only children can calculate the profit and loss.。

大晦日、I thought there were vehicles coming in one after another at a distribution warehouse.、I was surprised at how quiet it was.。I'm not working most of the time today.、It was a quieter morning than Sunday.。Still、I guess I couldn't finish it by yesterday.、There was a crow next to the tractor that was plowing the rice field.。
The black glow of a crow on New Year's Eve

Busy and quiet

"Christmas is approaching" watercolor

It's getting cold, isn't it?。Even in Kanto, which is warmer than Hokkaido and Tohoku,、Apparently there was light snow in Hachioji, Tokyo yesterday.。

yesterday、I bought two bottles of kerosene (18 liters)。Regarding air pollution、Viewing “fossil fuels” such as kerosene as the enemy、I know there are people who argue that we should go all electric.、I can understand the meaning of that claim.。But、2011How valuable were kerosene stoves for heating during the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake?、cooking、Was it helpful to the community?、I just can't forget。

Immediately after the earthquake、The kerosene stove I pulled out from the back of the storeroom、 Unlike fan heaters and air conditioners that are only for space heating and have become useless due to power outages.、It has become a “savior” that can not only heat the room but also cook at the same time.。Write down the benefits of boiling water、This article could be filled with just that.。
Preventing respiratory infections caused by dry air, etc.、I heard that ``kerosene stoves'' were also used for medical care at medium-sized hospitals.。That fire、Family members who meet face-to-face during a disaster、It must have given me a sense of peace of mind.。
but、The source of fossil fuel oil、In other words, the amount of life and death of fossilized plants (and sometimes animals) is unimaginable.。To the earth and sun that made it possible、Maybe I should be grateful。

When drawing a poinsettia、I know that I can only do what I can't do, but I'm frustrated,When drawing flowers、No matter what kind of flowers you have, you are always worried about them drying out indoors.。That said,、You can't paint if you prioritize care first.。when looking at a picture、Sometimes things like “backstage work” suddenly come to mind.。

Hokkaido/Sanriku subsequent earthquake information

                                                                                                   ”

2025December 8th, around 11:15 p.m.、Aomori Prefecture Eastern Offshore Earthquake Occurs。Magnitude 7.5、Considerable seismic energy was released。In Hachinohe City, Aomori Prefecture, the seismic intensity was 6+.。Severe damage has been reported on TV, etc.、Considering the magnitude of the earthquake and the time of occurrence、We can say that we are lucky that there seem to be almost no casualties (at the moment).。

my hometown、Higashidori Village had a seismic intensity of 5+.。I happened to want to take a break early.、Earthquake early warning sound immediately after going to bed。Next, from "Tsunami advisory for the eastern coast of Aomori prefecture"、turn on the monitor、get up。At that point, the advisory changed to a tsunami warning.、height 3 meters、Moreover, it has already arrived。The Higashidori nuclear power plant, located just a stone’s throw from my parents’ home, immediately came to mind.。
Around 23:30、I got a reply。``Don't worry, we evacuated to a height of 15 meters'' (remembering the Great East Japan Earthquake)、15Although it is not a safe area such as m)。My sister's family was also able to evacuate in an emergency.、Both of them are said to be beating the cold in their cars.。late next day、It was more than I expected from the intensity of the shock.、I received an email saying that there was much less damage.。

“Subsequent earthquake information” is、Apparently this is the first time the order has been issued.。Looking into the aftermath of some huge earthquakes、A big earthquake as a precursor、There is a pattern of an even bigger earthquake a little later (probability 1/100)、Prepare for the possibility of a magnitude 8 class earthquake occurring within the next week or so.、This is a warning that。
More than 100 local governments are targeted, from the east coast of Hokkaido to the Boso Peninsula in Chiba Prefecture.。For local governments too、It seems to be a nuisance for individuals and corporations as well.、Information that is “subtly important”。Not a “warning”、Formally, it's just "information" so the sender is not responsible.、The receiving local government cannot ignore it.、It is obvious that they are having difficulty responding.。
Is Japan, an earthquake-prone nation, proud? That's about it、The so-called “cost performance” is extremely bad “information”.。"but、What if…” Thinking about what to do in the event of unexpected human damage, etc.、Depending on the geographical conditions of the municipality、Even if the response can be imagined to be “excessive” (as a result),、There may come a time when you have no choice but to do it.。After all, there is a deadline of “one week”.。And it's 100% tax、99%Although it is said that there is a possibility that it will end in vain with a probability of、I'm sorry to say that it's an excuse that the Japan Meteorological Agency said so.。
Local governments have no choice but to make decisions on their own.、There is no way such an expert exists outside of the government offices of major cities.。So, should I not release it?、I don't have the knowledge to directly refute that.。

Rather than “relying on the Self-Defense Forces after a (disaster) occurs”、Researching these issues on a regular basis、train、Shouldn't we create something like a "disaster agency" to implement the measures?、It seemed like this discussion would start in the Ishiba Cabinet.、The clouds disappeared as soon as the Takaishi Cabinet was born.。Disasters have nothing to do with cabinet policy.、no matter who is the prime minister、It can happen right now。Shouldn't we consider establishing one as soon as possible?。
