Ginza

 

From the Ginza show window

For the past three weeks、I often go to Ginza。Solo exhibition、group exhibition。Because the round-trip travel time is not a big deal、I have to go around 3 or 4 at a time.、I end up commuting to Ginza every day even though it's not my job.。

The exhibition in Ginza、Although it may not be a bit of a duty-related thing.、It's not a waste。Only artists whose work makes you want to see it、Maybe it's because I have the insensitivity of not feeling any obligation.、Somehow it gives me a souvenir of stimulation.。Even in Tokyo、I can't maintain that level, though.、That's "normal" in Ginza。In that sense, Ginza can be said to be efficient.。

When you think of Ginza, you have the image of "deception".、It happened to me a long time ago。But、Compared to Shinjuku etc.、Ginza has always been a "true face" and "honest" city.、Lately I think。At least most of the painters who have solo exhibitions、Everyone is much more ``true-faced'' and ``honest'' than you might imagine.。Or rather、Otherwise it won't last long。

But、All these people who are painters、Will the screws loosen a little?、It's out of alignment、And most people don't realize that、Until such things are understood、Some people may feel like they are in another dimension.。It's true that the entire city may be a city where the screws are just a little off.、Apparently, the questioner thinks that "the concrete result of sketching" brings fun.、That gap must be the gap to a new world.。

If you want to play mazes, take the subway

"Model" watercolor F10

It was very cold this morning、Seems to be。Stay snugly in the futon、I was just listening to the weather forecast on the radio.、don't know the cold。

Yesterday, I toured around Tokyo focusing on several solo exhibitions.。It's not a place like Ginza where the galleries are clustered together.、Because the venues were different、It took quite a while considering the number of cases.。In particular, I was frustrated by the difficulty in understanding the structure of the transfer station.。

According to one theory、To serve as a shelter in the event of a nuclear war、It is said that people began to build their homes deeply.、It's certainly deep。Moreover, in the Tokyo subway、There is a tendency to connect stations together.。There are few information boards。Work pattern、I'm sure you're used to that kind of diagram.、Even if you stare at it, it's hard to draw a course in your head.。I'm sure some people end up getting lost because they look at the rough diagram.。Project mapping techniques, etc.、I would like to be able to use it in places like this.。

Inside two or three stations、I get sweaty just walking around looking for the transfer platform.、Due to fatigue and time loss、In the end, I couldn't make it to the end and had to go home.。

Who makes the rice balls?

The sun comes deep inside

I casually buy rice balls from a convenience store.。Because it's a very Japanese food (how to eat?)、I can't help but feel like it's made by a Japanese person.、In fact, many are foreign workers.、It is said that these are also made by "foreign technical intern trainees" who are currently a problem.。

early in the morning、Onigiri are lined up in stores。Moreover, the expiration time is detailed.、If the time has passed, it will be strictly disposed of.。That means、I make it even in the middle of the night、It also means that I am making it all day long.。Convenience stores are different in scale from small individual bento shops in town.、Inspired by the common names ``onigiri'' and ``kinpira burdock.''、I end up having the illusion that the "neighborhood ladies" are making it.。

There are always new rice balls on store shelves.、Even though someone is always making it、I can't think of a way to reach that point。Our imagination shrinks in the midst of convenience.、I can only see what's in front of me。

Discussions began today in the Diet about changing the name and expanding the ``technical intern trainee'' quota due to a labor shortage.。34It is said that it will expand to millions of people.、The number of technical intern trainees in Japan has already reached 270,000.。It is thought that a significant portion of this will slide into ``skilled foreign workers.''。If you add in part-time jobs for international students,、The slot is already almost full。Rather than increasing the number of workers、I wonder if the purpose of the discussion is to distract from human rights issues.、I think it's natural to have doubts.。
