Gyroscope

(Museum of Maritime Science) gyroscope

beauty of the ship、sequel。The photo shows a gyroscope, which is essential for ship navigation.、I guess it's easy to understand if you say it's a compass (the blue color is the color of my shirt when I'm looking into it)。This was actually done when a ship used for ocean voyages was dismantled.、what was saved。It's a completely practical item, but isn't it truly beautiful?

It's almost an obsolete word now、When I was a student, the terms "practical beauty" and "functional beauty" still existed.。Unlike works of art whose purpose is beauty itself.、purely functional、Equipment aimed at practicality、It is a word that means to achieve beauty by removing unnecessary things.。

I forgot who said it, but、I felt that there was a hidden dislike for embellishments or allowances (excessive?) in those words.。Meat sensitivity of meat and fat、Bone white against sensuality、It might be easier to understand if I say that I prefer simple beauty.。Although I sympathize with such aesthetics,、called "unnecessary things"、At the same time, I felt some repulsion from his self-righteous words.。

That's what I remembered when I saw this gyroscope.。A gyroscope doesn't have to be pretty, but as long as it's easy to use, it's fine.。This gyroscope must have been made with that policy in mind.。In that sense, it can be said to be ``bone-oriented''.。The diamond-shaped markings are also designed to make them easier to see.。However, this size is slightly larger than this one.、There is no problem with practicality even if the color is slightly pale or blackish.。However, the designer was able to make it just right.、The aesthetics of the creator cannot help but come into play.。This is not a "boneless orientation"、Isn't it a "meat" orientation?。True beauty cannot be created just by stripping away.。That's how I felt at the time too.。

Anyway inside the ship、utensil、For some reason, many of the supplies are beautiful.。Even in cars、Things don't seem to change on airplanes, though.、In terms of beauty, I feel like it's a lot worse (mostly it's just my bias)。I suspect that one of the differences may be due to "weight".。

Ship equipment is generally heavier compared to airplanes and cars.、big、It's tough。The handling on the swaying ship probably requires that.、I feel that this gives the human senses a profound sense of security and familiarity.。design、This is also shared with those involved in the production.、That's why I think a beautiful system called a ship will be created.。2011/9/10

 

やはり船はいい

南極観測船「宗谷」ブリッジから（お台場・船の科学館）

久しぶりに少しだけ海を見た気がする。半月ほど前に下北へ行った時も海岸線を車で走り、海は毎日見ていたのだが全然そんな気がしなかった。父のクモ膜下のことでそんな余裕も無かった。いくらか自分の気持ちも落ち着いてきたのでスケッチに行くことにした。

場所は今後のスケッチ会の下見も兼ねて東京に決めていた。船の科学館が今月一杯で再開未定の休館になるというのでこれをメインに、時間的に可能ならばスケッチするというつもりで出かけた。

写真はそこに係留、一般公開されている南極観測船「宗谷」のブリッジからの眺め。正面に向き合っているのは水産庁の船（東光丸）。その奥に広がるのは東京港への水路だろう。対岸にはコンテナとコンテナ船がびっしり。荷役用のリフトがニョキニョキ立っている。こんな風景は宗谷にはふさわしくないだろうが仕方ない。おかげで子どもの頃に本で見た記憶のある（テレビの映像の記憶かもしれない）船を実際に見ることができたのだから。

but、記録を見ると宗谷はもともと旧ソ連に貨物船として発注されたもので、国際情勢の変化で民間の小型貨物船「地領丸」として1938年に就航した船だから、むしろ本来あるべき風景の中に戻ったと言うべきかもしれない。

地領丸はその後すぐに海軍特務艦になり「宗谷」と改名。測量、輸送の任務に就く。戦後は引揚げ船、海上保安庁の燈台補給船として使われた後、1956年に南極観測船に転用された。その時点でも既にかなりのボロ船だ。そのいきさつも面白いが、このたかだか2700トン程度の（本当に）ちっぽけなボロ船を実際に見ると、これを初体験の国際南極観測船として送り出した、このニッポンという国のおかしみと哀しみを感じざるを得ない。戦後間もないとはいえ、ほとんど特攻隊そのままではないか。on the other hand、隊員たちの弾けるような好奇心と若さがそれを乗り越えたことに、今も大きな共感を感じることができる。

南極観測は極寒の銀世界のイメージしか私たちには浮かばないが、実は途中で赤道を通り過ぎるわけで、その猛暑対策が大変だったらしい。初めにソ連の氷洋貨物船として建造された経緯からも、暑さに対しては全く考慮されていない船だったことが分かる。そこに同乗させられたソリ引き用の、毛むくじゃらのカラフト犬など、よく死なさずに南極まで連れて行けたものだと思う。タロ、ジロの本当の苦しさは、実は南極よりインド洋にあったのではないかと想像した。

船は形も美しいが、その歴史にも何とも言えない深い（人間的な）味わいがある。沈んだり、解体された後まで人が船に引き付けられるのは、そこに小説のような魅力があるからかもしれない。

My Vision

Hand (production the · part) ア キ ー ラ 2011

My son says I don't have a vision.。Apart from being an office worker who is busy with company work.、In other words, a self-employed painter、Not having a vision in terms of work or management、It is said that it is a hopeless existence.。

That's certainly true。I have no vision at all right now.。It's day to day。It's not like I'm being carefree at all、I'm actually very anxious、I'm nervous.。Apparently, the questioner thinks that "the concrete result of sketching" brings fun.、I can't get anything、It is not possible (it is not a re-opening)。reality)。That means it's not just about vision.、No ability to understand problems、This means that they have no problem-solving skills at all.。Incidentally, I decided to count how much "what" I don't have about myself.。

First of all, ① No money = no ability to live。② Lack of knowledge to solve problems。③ I don't have the desire for knowledge to pursue it.。④ No desire to improve ⑤ No drive to take action ⑥ No energy ⑦ No physical strength (even though I have a lot of wasted physical energy) ⑧ No kindness towards my family (I am told this every day)、(My family must be really suffering because of me) ⑨ No consideration for my family ⑩ No understanding of my family's feelings、I don't have that feeling ⑪ I don't have any sense of information (apparently it's fatal) ⑫ I don't have any language skills, etc.、Lack of academic ability ⑬ Lack of common sense、⑭ No imagination (may have existed in the past, but it has withered away now) ⑮ No sense of painting (if there was one)、⑯ No sense of adventure (in all aspects) ⑰ No competitive spirit (only a ferocious fighting spirit towards family)。Mostly violent fathers)。At first glance, he seems to have a sense of humility toward others, but、In fact, he has the spirit of a loser. ⑱ He has no "curiosity" (he does not pay attention to the privacy of others). ⑲ He has no ability to manage himself (the proof is that he declares that he does not drink alcohol every morning). ⑳ He does not have the ability to objectively view himself from the outside (he is always the only good person). He also cannot control his own emotions.、Lack of ability to judge situations calmly (especially、Even though the other person is noisy、Be good at explaining。This is the ability to observe people、due to lack of insight)、Not emphasizing (thinking that only you are right)、Lack of communication skills (although for some reason I can clearly convey my bad feelings)、I can't see people fairly (I don't even know what fairness is)、I have no sense of justice (although I feel a lot of guilt)、countless incompetences such as。

Isn't there a lot of people who don't have this ability? given that、Isn't that amazing in itself?、and follow me、My ability to be kind to myself was recognized as outstanding.。
