at the end of the night、Are you active now? I bought a book that introduced 150 illustrators of。All of them seem to be popular illustrators.、About half of them all look the same。I didn't know anyone's name。Even just that、I feel how far I am from the leading edge of “the times”。I'm painfully aware that it's outdated.、 I thought I'd like to know at least how many weeks I'm behind.。

But、That didn't matter.。Same race to begin with、We weren't in the same era。If it's just a drawing technique、Even if you are late, you can somehow recover.、What I can't keep up with is the sense that I find it interesting。A sense that is shared by the person drawing (illustrator) and the viewer。what's interesting、I don't understand.。You can't overcome it with just technique.、A kind of "culture shock"。that、Young people say, “It’s bunka.”。

I、I think I actually wanted to be an illustrator.、I think now。I've loved drawing since I was a child, but、It's not even a "sketching"、Moreover, it wasn't "art" or anything like that.。But、At that time、For elementary school students in rural areas (the word ``remote areas'' is already obsolete),、The word "illustrator" didn't even exist.。
A child who likes drawing、He was just a "lazy person who didn't help with housework"。。I drew a ``long story manga'' without even knowing it.、Instead of showing it to everyone、Have someone do the work for you、make a game、I drew pictures that matched it and handed them out to my friends.。I also drew backgrounds for country plays alongside adults.、I also drew lanterns for village festivals.、Ema and votive tablets dedicated to shrines、At the end of every year, I drew 1,000 pictures for my grandfather's New Year's cards.。it's not a painting、It was an illustration.、I understand now。

マンガもイラストも「ブンカ」。それをいわゆるオトナが「文化」と読みかえている時点で、“周回遅れ” 。SNSもYouTubeも「ブンカ」であって、いわゆる「文化」とリバーシブルになっているようなもの。それがあると知っていること、それを享受、利用していることの「一つ上にある」ブンカ。「スマホでメールが送れる」は、文化であっても「スマホのブンカ」ではない。そのメールに漂う「呼吸」。それがブンカなんですよ、surely。

End of year。The period from winter vacation to New Year was fun when I was a child.、It's getting harder as I get older。cold etc.、It's not a big deal in the Kanto plains, but、In addition to physical strength and physiological aspects,、Spiritual side、Including social things、I feel like I'm running out of fun things。

that's aging、Even if you say that, I don't even feel like objecting.、Even if I pick up one piece of news、Otani's performance and new contract、From the bright side such as the inbound economy、ukraine、Israel、Things like the Liberal Democratic Party's kickbacks weigh more heavily on my mind.。

Israeli attack on Gaza。Sympathy for Jews in World War II、pity、lessons from that、The Jews themselves have completely trampled on it.。Isn't this just a reversal of what the Nazis did?。that、America, which advocates the protection of human rights and democracy,、This is absolute support, ignoring international public opinion.。No wonder Russia ridicules us as a double standard.。faith has fallen to the ground。Appealing to the world about the only country to have suffered a nuclear attack、Japan refuses to take part in any action towards nuclear abolition。"Human Wisdom" etc.、It's funny。

Current topics、Make it a kickback for party tickets、Chief Cabinet Secretary intends to resign、No matter how many ministers resign、in the next election、by people who vote without question、"I've finished my misogi," he said while whispering.、He will come back as a minister again with great dignity.。The brains of the Japanese people must have become too fermented.。It's not all about that...、Even if I want to think about it、I can only think of something worse.。already、I have no words。
Just a moment of time to draw a picture。All important things are small、Only in the palm of your hand。

"Look at me" in "Look at me"。Please take a look、does not mean、Just in case。But ok、I can imagine that the original meaning is the same.。The point is, it's just "appearance", isn't it?。

What catches your eye、there's something new。Even if it's not new in itself、Is the performance new?、It feels fresh after a long time、There's something。that、Rather than being discovered by the viewer、“Hora、Isn't it new? ” as if、I think the true nature of "Please look at me" is that it's a bit intrusive.。

Information on the internet、In other words, I believe that 99.9% of business information is "look at me".。The information is、Not everything is on the internet、Before you know it, you have the illusion that information is on the internet.、Conversely, it seems that things that are not on the smartphone are not even recognized as information.。that's why、I don't know the details, but、when searching for something、Most people must first search the internet on their smartphones.。If the、The distributing side (mostly for business purposes)、First of all, it has to stand out on that small screen.。If the “look at me” is bad, you lose at that point.。

Don't just look at me、What information is really meaningful to someone?、Both the sender and receiver、It takes time, knowledge, and other efforts to examine it carefully.。In other words、In other words、That's why、In the end, the only way to find the information you really want is to use your five senses.。In the past, information that was available naturally、Ironically, in this whirlpool of information、Sometimes I realize that I can't get it unless I try hard.、feel it。and that is、With the advent of generative AI, it will no doubt become increasingly difficult.。people are、In many ways, I am already a servant to the computer.。There is only a future where generative AI makes it absolute.、I can't imagine it at the moment。
