How to use "dignity"

"Anthurium" Watercolor

Trump has been appointed as the 47th President of the United States。After being appointed for the first term, he was the second person in American history (the other person is the 22nd generation、24President Cleveland of the ancestor)。Since his victory over Harris in the presidential election last October、It seems as if the administration has already transitioned from current President Biden.、His every word has been attracting attention.。

View a summary of the inaugural speech。Immediately after taking office、Signed all the "presidential orders" etc. that had been prepared.。This is definitely a performance that Mr. Trump likes.、It's certainly a feat that Biden, who has a heavy waist, cannot do.、Even though my age doesn't change much、To show off a feeling that "completely different"、It was a time I couldn't hope for。It's a sniper incident、Being a "lucky" president、Not just for Americans、It was also able to impress the world。

Trump's words and timing、It feels like the whole world is geeks。It's probably not actually the case、In what is known as "developed countries", most politicians are elite.、They are economically blessed people.。Trump, who is supposed to be the same elite as his own,、To say it like a junkie、People of the "noble class" are confused、That's how it is。Even if they are confused, they are the "noble class" and end up supporting themselves.。Other people to win、In other words, the key is to grasp the feelings of people who are "less than that."、That's probably Trump's strategy.。
A rough strategy of "delivering your dignity"。Democrats are no longer able to take that strategy because they are already harnessing elite consciousness.。I'm sure many people who opposed him would understand that too.、He probably wasn't strong enough to speak loudly and in a way that he was like he was.。

"Solving your dignity" makes it popular。In this way、The masses are vulgar、It also sounds like I'm saying。 It's not a "conflict business method"、The masses are often rebellious、Immoral、I tend to be attracted to something insane、Let's say it again。Trump calmly scrutinizes this.、Express it in a seemingly radical way。The calculations and determination that only a calm businessman can do? There is、Looks like。However、The strategy itself feels a bit old-fashioned、It depends on his hobby、Perhaps the very image of a leader who is both gross and extreme、Already in the past tense、That's probably what it means。

I miss the warmth of the sun

AI has appeared、It is said that the global business environment will change even more significantly in the next few years.。I am on the edge of “the world”、I live far away from the center、Even so, I can still feel the wind、There is no doubt that many people living in the middle of society have a considerable impact (even if it is not directly visible).。

To put it in an extreme way、One-third of the world's population says, "I hate being alive."、It will be about half、I feel like the world will be like that。

of course、Companies and certain people (I said business)、I don't mean an ordinary office worker.、A handful of managers or people close to them、It is an indispensable tool for such people.、convenience、comfortable、environment、It will become a “sacred treasure” in every sense of the word.。
But for most people、While I was feeling warmly thinking, "It's become more convenient."、Like being able to tie your neck with cotton、slowly? Being separated into “unnecessary people”、Isn't that kind of world finally here?。Not only individuals、enterprise、Industry、Even by country、Such “culling” should become more clearly visible.。No matter how ``desperately'' you try,、A harsh world where such things have no value。That's a world with 8 billion people。
Pandora's box has been opened、I wrote about AI before.、I feel that the situation is accelerating further.。Including happiness and misfortune、There is no going back to what was before the advent of AI.。

It has been a long time since the average lifespan of Japanese people exceeded 80 years.。I'm getting closer to that age、そんな世界を目の当たりにする前にどうやら寿命を終えられそうなのは幸せと思うべきなのかもしれないまだ年賀状が机の上に乗っているうちなのにそんなことを考えてしまう

押絵羽子板

スケッチ中

実際の年賀状には使わなかったがデザインだけしてみたモチーフの押絵羽子板はひょんなことから人を介して頂いたもの埼玉県春日部市の伝統文化の一つとして有名だ製作者の名は知らないがなるべく実物に似せて水彩で描いてみた

描いてみて驚いたのは絵師のデッサン力である製品自体は一点一点手描きしているとは思わないが少なくとも最初の絵は構図・構成も含め誰かが描いたものだろう

押絵羽子板は布などを立体的に貼りつけて作ってあるものだが顔や指などは一応平面上(厚みのあるスチレンボードのようなもの)に描いてあるそれに陰影で立体感をつけてある伝統的な意匠に沿いながら意外に(と言っては失礼だが)繊細で鋭くかつ的確
 陰影のグラデーションも丁寧だ手馴れていてもぞんざいではないそんじょそこらの観光土産品のレベルとはさすがに格段の差確かにこれは伝統文化であると同時に一枚の絵なのだというプライドを感じた描いてみる機会が得られてラッキーだった

一枚の羽子板には木を育てる人から数えればかなりの数の職人さんたちが関わっているにいるに違いないその人たちが全員(家族も含め)生活していくには羽子板が高価で飛ぶように売れていかなければならない、It is a sport that is firmly connected to the essence of current sports.。羽子板の需要という現実を考えれば廃業(と聞いている)もやむを得ない選択かとも思うけれどこんな小さな部分にも職人のこだわりと実力が込められている伝統文化にちょっとだけ触れた正月だった
