Recall about snow

 

冬の下北（Simokita in winter）2012

Shimokita、No, the snowy scenery is beautiful, not just in Shimokita.。It is often referred to as a monochrome world.、I tend to think like that、If I look back at my own experience,、Everyone will remember that this was never the case.。

the other day、Touch this snowy landscape、I wrote that I felt like I had gone home to retrieve something I had forgotten.。That's certainly true。As a junior high school student, I didn't study much at all.、I became obsessed with trapping rabbits, woodcock, etc.、On the way、I almost lost my skiing twice.、During my trip home, I talked about it with my younger brother and mother almost every night.。They are ingrained somewhere in my body.、When I saw snow like this, I could feel myself getting excited.。without my father、２、I might have gone out to set a rabbit trap on the 3rd.。most、I'm sure I wouldn't have even returned home if it wasn't for that.。

When I first started drawing seriously、After using various colors、I kept thinking that the ending was monochrome after all.、It's probably because I've seen scenery like this before.。Before I knew it, I was caught up in life、I had even forgotten that。Someone once said that I was a "fantasy writer."。That's probably true。For some reason, I've felt that way since I was a very small child.。snow fosters fantasy。Snow country is fortunate。

I suddenly remembered William Blake.。William Blake (1757-1827)、He is a poet and painter whose style is very religious.。Apparently he is also a printmaker.。The first time I saw his paintings was when I was a student.、About 40 years ago。Like a crazy drawing、The slightly unusual deformation left an impression on me.、I thought it was a poet's hobby, but、I didn't go into it any further。

About 10 years have passed since then、For some reason, I was able to visit England for about 10 days.、I decided to focus a little more on British watercolors.。Constable and Turner are the first candidates based on common sense.。

First, go to the Tate Gallery.。By chance, the "William Blake Exhibition" is being held.。Even though I thought it wouldn't be a great picture.、When I look at the poster, my heart flutters。Well, it's also the same watercolor.、I decided to eat a little bit of road grass.。This is an unexpected big answer。

I felt like I had touched Blake's burning hot soul.。Not an exaggeration、I was overwhelmed by the outpouring of force.。I was devastated by how inconsiderate my actions were.、I saw the works。I'm sure Constable and Turner saw it after that, but I don't remember it at all.。(I felt the same way when I saw all of Rouault's Passion works in Tokyo.。When I went out from the Louault exhibition venue to the city of Ginza、I remember feeling like the city was drained of color.。）

Lately, I have lost all confidence in my drawings (which is very painful)、(I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing)。I don't think I'm imitating others.、In the fog、where am I、I lost track of where I was walking.。unintentionally、I want to follow someone else's trail somewhere。At times like that、From now on, I'll tell myself, "Watch the break."。

Break is highly rated、I really don't think it's a picture that will please everyone.。It feels like it's suffocating、I feel like I'm being blamed、I'm sure everyone can feel that way to some degree.。It may even be unpleasant for some people。break through it and move on、that passion。This is a picture that always reminds me of what I must not lose.。　　2011/10/28

University to make children?

"Children's University" signboard、Seen at the university's architecture department building。For a moment I felt like, “Huh?”。With the declining birthrate, will we finally start studying architecture departments and research on fertilization and pregnancy disorders? If you rub your eyes and read carefully, you will find “Children’s Manufacturing University”。I was a little surprised by the confusing signboard.。

This seems to be one of the things I would like to do instead of lifelong learning courses.。Regardless of the purpose、I gave up and set off without a methodology or outlook.、It looks like things will start out with the usual pattern of passing the blame for increased production losses down the line.。It's like they're trying to keep children in a kind of circle.、In that case, it might be safer to start with a ``child-making university.''。

Compared to the difference in academic ability up to the age of 18 at the time of admission,、18I think the possibility is much greater from the age。However, in Japan, there is an 18-year-old difference in academic ability.、In a sense, we are separated by a difference that can never be taken back.。Once you quit your job, you immediately fall to the bottom of society.、Japanese society can't get out of its way by doing very little.。“Never give up and try again and again” is a loud slogan both at school and in society.、There is no serious effort to create systems and policies that will make this possible.。just cut it out。Seeing people only as a cost。about how much power people have、It's like I've lost my imagination。

That's why it becomes a third-rate university.、Students don't want to come because they hate that label.。Universities that cannot fill their capacity desperately try to recruit students.。Before you know it, each student becomes more than just a person with “individuality” or “potential.”、No wonder it starts to look like “tuition fees” itself.。

If the university is such that students only see it as a tuition fee.、Leave school quickly、Traveling around the world with a sketchbook may be a much more effective way to pay for your tuition.。At "Children's Manufacturing University"、Imprinting students from their elementary school days so that they will become familiar with this university in the future.、How shallow and stupid、That would be a pathetic idea。Recent efforts by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology in science subjects、Children's guidance measures are based on the same concept.。A country that does not know that children are not as stupid as adults has no choice but to perish.。　　2011/10/23
