"Pigeon and Rose" watercolor
“Forest road bridge (part)” watercolor

In "The Dove and the Rose"、I tried to draw with one touch as much as possible.。Even if I brush over and over again、as large an area as possible、The goal was to repeat it just once.。It's a bit of a strange layout though、A small potted rose、The idea is that you're trying to hide your butt while watching from above.。

Why one touch?、In the previous “Forest Road Bridge”、This is a reaction to the fact that it has become quite descriptive.。I'm not saying that descriptive things are bad.。I felt like I drew too much last time.、I took two steps back to keep my balance.、This person is building his "own" snowboard "road"。

drawing a picture is、Sometimes it works like a drug。Drawing makes me feel refreshed and lighter、On the contrary, it doesn't make me feel heavy;、I tried to break things as if I was hitting the nail on the head.、Various “side effects” may appear.。It can also be poisonous.。

A heavy picture (generally speaking, time、Pictures that require physical strength and energy、) does not necessarily make you feel worse.。It is not uncommon to experience a great sense of satisfaction and fulfillment.。
Light painting、heavy picture。Usage for each、There is a dose、Both seem to have "efficacies"。It is best to use different drugs depending on your symptoms (mood).。

draw a forest road

　　　　　　　　“Forest Road Bridge” Watercolor

7I drew this based on a photo I took in the Shimokita Peninsula a year ago.。When I was in elementary and junior high school、When it came to play, there was only the sea or the mountains.、Although it is quite far from the village、I must have passed this forest road dozens of times.。Thinking about it now、I think I often walked that distance with my child's feet.。There is a 10km round trip.。I have very little memory of the road.、I can still feel the same atmosphere。

Until I was in the lower grades of elementary school, there was a forest railway here.、A steam locomotive with a trolley attached was passing by.。I remember riding in the driver's cabin with my brother a few times.。That line has been discontinued、Becomes a motorway for transporting lumber、It becomes a commuting route for people who work in the mountains.、Relatively close to the village、Rice fields and fields were created。It's called "Kaikon (cultivation)"、I often heard words that were difficult for children (as well as、After becoming a junior high school student, I actually entered the labor force.)。
Yamame trout and char fishing for kids only、It was the main street for outdoor activities such as Akebi and wild grape picking.。

The rice fields and fields have returned to wilderness.。Charcoal grillers and mushroom growers disappeared.、The road is now open only to vehicles affiliated with the forestry department.。Even children、You don't have to go to the mountains to look for Akebia etc.、There are more delicious foods at home, regardless of the season.。Many of the forest roads are now as good as abandoned roads.、Illegible information boards are buried in weeds and stand at an angle.。Only the "Beware of bears" sign is new.。

This road is one of the main forest roads.、Crossing the mountain pass from the Pacific side、It seems to continue all the way to the Mutsu Bay side.。get off the car、I walked along the forest road for a while while listening to the sound of the river flowing under the bridge.。Seven years have passed since I thought, ``I have to draw it now.''。

lost to brazil

Japanese people like “first foods”。Even if you are not Japanese、First-time is something that everyone in the world wants to record and remember (whether they are happy or not).。

But、For example, "early spring"。It seems that more and more people are not sending New Year's cards.、Even if you write an online New Year's card, wouldn't you write "early spring"? Haiku etc. are full of "firsts".、There is no need to memorize the seasonal word for January.。You can get away with anything by adding “first”.。I'm sure I've seen it tens of thousands of times already, but I don't know what "Hatsuyume" is.。This is my first time liking this、It's probably incomprehensible to foreigners.。this、I received it from Mr. S.、My “first plum of the season”。It was delicious。

Soccer World Cup 2026、Japan lost to their ``natural enemy'' Brazil in the first round of the final tournament.。I was aiming for my “first” victory.。Lost in the “first” battle。The best 32 out of 48 participating teams? ?。
but、I feel that Japan's level is steadily improving with each tournament.。Although the words are bad、From "Ojosama Soccer"、I'm sure I've reached at least the "warrior" level.。If you are a “warrior”、Winning or losing is a fine line。

That said,、I really felt the difference with Brazil.。this is、Rather than a difference、individual player、director、surpassed the team、I think it's a difference in "cultural" level.。Japanese players and Brazilian players、The words we say and the tactics are the same。What's different?、After all, the place of soccer in their society、meaning。The importance of soccer in the lives of individual players living there。The depth of society's love for soccer、I have lived my life immersed in it.、That “soakedness”I think it's a difference。
The time will come when Japan will be able to compete on the same level as Brazil.。Still, I want them to continue to respect their "soccer culture."、I also think。
