By chance, I found Soseki Natsume’s ”Kokoro” reading on Youtube, so I spent three days listening to everything. 偶然、ユーチューブで夏目漱石の『こころ』の朗読を見つけて、3日かけて全部聴きました。 I read this book for the first time when I was still in high school, part of it was in a textbook, and I was interested, so I bought it at a bookstore and read the …

For the time being, I decided to put away this work. 取り合えず、この作品はしまう事にしました。 Before taking it, I took a picture. しまう前に、一枚写真を撮りました。 I have some works that must be drawn by September. Therefore, I have to say goodbye to this work a while. 9月までに、描かなくてはならない作品があるので、この作品とは暫しのお別れ。 I am a kind of person always dreaming. 私はいつも夢を見ているような人間です。 Somehow, there are some …

This is a shop near my apartment. It had several burglars attacks since coronavirus disease has started. これ、うちの近所のお店なんですが、コロナが流行ってから、数回泥棒に襲撃されてます。 Therefore, now, their glass part is all covered by wood. それゆえに、今となっては、ガラスの部分、全部板でカバーしてます。 The restaurant next to it was also attacked.It seems to me that the predator was aiming at the wines that are displayed in the restaurant. その隣のレストランも襲撃にあいました。略奪者はお店にたくさん飾ってるワインが目的のようでした。 …

I read No Exit by Jean-Paul Sartre. It reminded me of a Nobel Sansyouuo by Masuji Ibuse. The both story’s theme is imprisonment. No Exit. サルトルの出口なしを読みました。それは、井伏鱒二の山椒魚を思い出させました。両方の物語とも、テーマは幽閉です。出口がないんです。 Then, I thought Masuji’s Sansyouuo is much simpler to explain about imprisonment. 私は井伏鱒二の山椒魚の方が、幽閉について簡潔に語られてると思いました。 Sartre’s is that the interaction between men and women is distracting from the main subject. サルトルのそれは、男女のやりとりが、本題から気を散らしてしまうのです。 …

I’m reading this right now. 今、これ読んでます。 Surprisingly, it is published on November 1, 1970. 驚くんだけど、これ、昭和45年11月1日発行だって。 Neither Sartre nor Camus has any new translations available recently in Japan. サルトルもカミュも、日本では新しい翻訳書は最近出てないみたい。

Over the last few days, many murals for George Floyd has painted. ここ数日で、ずいぶんたくさんのジョージフロイドの為の壁画が絵ががれた様子です。 I have great respect who made the murals. They instantly create such works of art with inspiration for free. 私は壁画作家達にものすごい尊敬を感じます。彼らは、即座にインスピレーションで無料でこのような芸術作品を作ります。 It’s amazing. すごい!!! George Floyd funeral held today. 今日は、彼のお葬式が催されました。 I watch many black intellectuals on TV. But, what I see outside is …

Maybe getting close…? あと、もう一息で終わるかも。。。? ダン蔵 asked me what am I doing at my studio. I showed this image to him. ダン蔵が、スタジオで何してるの?って、聞くから、この写真を見せた。 He asked me; How to show this work? How could art collectors handle this work? 彼は私に、「これ、どうやって展示するの?」「美術収集家は、どうやってこれを扱えばいいの?」と、聞く。 Well, a good question. ううむ。良い質問です。

Finally, ダン蔵 and I went to see his foot doctor this morning. The doctor’s office is located in front of the Empire State building. We ordered a car service and went there. The scenery of the city was magnificent until we got there. We saw several destroyed stores, others were already covered with planks, and …
