July 4th、Return from Shimokita (I went to Shimokita from June 30th to July 4th)、I stopped by the Aomori Prefectural Aeronautical Science Museum in Misawa City.。Another place on the day、I also visited the Tonami Domain Memorial Tourist Village.。Shuji Terayama Memorial Museum is also nearby.。

Today's topic is Aviation Science Museum。Adjacent to the Air Self-Defense Force Misawa Base by a single fence.。Seen from the science museum、The U.S. military Misawa base is located deep inside the Self-Defense Forces base.。It was around 11 o'clock when I arrived, but (I think) Self-Defense Force F-16s were constantly taking off.、Repeat training such as sharp turns、There was an explosion。

One of the things I wanted to see、Former Army "Type 1 twin-engine advanced training aircraft" that crashed into Lake Towada during a training flight in 1945。September 5, 2012、Raised from the lakebed for the first time in 69 years、Currently on display at the science museum。

Looking at this aircraft pulled up from the bottom of the lake、4The suffering of the boy pilot (17 years old?) who was the only one on board to be rescued.、The surprise of the three people who died、upset、desperation、It's strange that for some reason I feel like I can feel my regret.。I realized once again that I don't want war.。

Just before the solo exhibition, arrange for framing and loading/unloading.、I'm running out of time to create captions, etc.、Once it starts, there's usually nothing to do.、Every day becomes like a messy gallery talk.。

However、It is actually impossible to replace pictures with words.。The more I try to explain it in an easy-to-understand manner,、Lost in the labyrinth of words、Next, it begins to bind the painting within me.。If you repeat it every day、I feel depressed going to the venue.。That's every day of my solo exhibition。

Works that I may (or may not) draw someday、As I walked along the bank, I saw several swallows several tens of centimeters above the river.、flew over and over again。I wonder if it's a strong headwind and the speed is 1 m/s.。2、It flies horizontally over a 30m river surface and then repeatedly turns around.。There are probably insects on the river surface.。There must be a nest nearby.。

I stepped out onto the bank feeling lighthearted.、After looking at it for an hour, I got completely cold.。Strong north wind this afternoon。It is said that snow is falling in the northern countries.。That's unusual for May.。In the postcard I received this morning from the printmaker Gora Kumagai,、There are still 2 cherry blossoms in Hirosaki,It is said that it blooms for 3 minutes.。I also saw three sparrows on the bank.。For some reason, it landed at my feet。I thought it looked like a painting of St. Francis of Assisi.。
