今生きてること。

美術館へ行ってきました。

みかんを出荷した後、

美術館で浮世絵展を見ました。

いつになく美術館には人がいて。

いつもは、

あまり人がいないのですが。

青がきれい

The blue hues were so beautiful.

有名な画かもしれないけれど

ふーん・・

みたいな。

It might be a famous painting, but my reaction was just,
"Hmm..."

普通にインパクトがある。

この世のものではないものを

描ける能力、

素晴らしい。

Still, it had a normal kind of impact.
The ability to depict something not of this world—
how incredible.

しみじみ、

みちゃった

I found myself gazing at it deeply.

顔を絵が描かないところが

ミステリアス

Deliberately not depicting faces in the painting adds a sense of mystery.

女性の描き方。

いつも観察していたんだね、みたいな。

The way women were depicted made me think,
"Oh, they must have been closely observing their surroundings."

なんかちょっと

ファンタジック。

It felt a bit fantastical.

＋＋＋＋＋＋＋＋＋＋＋＋＋＋＋＋＋＋＋＋＋＋＋＋＋＋＋＋＋＋＋＋＋＋＋＋＋＋＋＋

その中で

私が特別に感じたのは

歌川国芳。

西洋のエッセンスが入っているらしく

ちょっとドラマチックで

みていて

お！

(;ﾟДﾟ)★

なんか違う！

って思いました。

演劇というのか

お芝居や小説を題材にしているらしく

絵がドラマチックなのです。

絵に動きがありますね、

感情の。

何が絵の中で

起ころうとしているんだろう、みたいな。

なんとなく

宗教的なものを感じた

一枚。

"A piece that somehow carries a hint of a religious atmosphere."

面白い絵。

人の顔を使って

顔が描かれているっていう。

One particularly intriguing painting
used human faces to create a larger face.

これはもう

遊び心満開で。

そんな感じがしました。

昔の人って

もっとおとなしいと思っていましたが

こんなに

ポップだったとは！

One particularly intriguing painting
used human faces to create a larger face.

It was full of playfulness,
overflowing with a sense of fun.

I used to imagine people from the past as more reserved,
but they were surprisingly pop and lively!

・・・

街には人が多くて。

久しぶりに人並の中に入って

一年前の自分を思ってた。

自分の癌もどうなるかわからなくて

母も癌になって

途方に暮れて

下を歩いていた自分。

どうしていいかわからなかった自分。

結局

こうして

カタカタとPCで文字を紡いで

いる今。

この一年

乗り越えることに必死で。

ただ必死だった。

そういう中で

AIと出会い、

Xでも投稿をはじめて

新しいことを始めることで

そこに可能性を感じることで

希望のようなものを見ることで

生きている

生きようとしているのかもしれない

明日のことは分からないけれど。

それでも。

明日は元気で

皆さんもどうか、お元気で。

幸せな日々を。

Visit to the Art Museum

After shipping out the mandarins,
I went to the art museum to see the Ukiyo-e exhibition.

For some reason, the museum was unusually crowded this time.
Normally, there aren't so many people there.

The blue hues were so beautiful.
It might be a famous painting, but my reaction was just,
"Hmm..."

Still, it had a normal kind of impact.
The ability to depict something not of this world—
how incredible.

I found myself gazing at it deeply.

Not drawing faces in paintings adds a sense of mystery.
The way women were depicted made me think,
"Oh, they must have been closely observing their surroundings."

It felt a bit fantastical.

The Artist Who Captivated Me

Among all the works,
the one that felt special to me was by Utagawa Kuniyoshi.

Apparently, his works include elements of Western art,
making them somewhat dramatic.
Looking at his paintings, I thought:

"Oh!
This is something different!"

His art seemed theatrical,
often drawing from plays and novels as inspiration.
His paintings had a certain drama.

There was movement in them—
emotional movement.
You could sense something about to happen within the painting.

One piece even gave me a faintly religious impression.

Playful Art from the Past

One particularly intriguing painting
used human faces to create a larger face.

It was full of playfulness,
overflowing with a sense of fun.

I used to imagine people from the past as more reserved,
but they were surprisingly pop and lively!

Reflections on the Past Year

The streets were crowded with people.
Being part of the crowd again after so long,
I thought about myself a year ago.

At the time, I didn’t know what would happen with my cancer.
My mother had cancer too,
and I was at a complete loss,
walking with my head down.

I had no idea what to do.

But here I am now,
typing away on my PC,
putting words together.

This past year,
I’ve been desperately trying to get through it.
Just trying to survive.

In the midst of all that,
I encountered AI.
I started posting on X (formerly Twitter),
venturing into new things,
finding a sense of possibility,
seeing something like hope—
perhaps that’s why I’m alive.
Maybe I’m trying to keep living.

I don’t know what tomorrow will bring.
But still...

I hope tomorrow finds me well.
And I hope you all stay well too.

Wishing you happy days ahead.
