I had a visitor in my gallery and my studio today. It seems that this young lady is a highly educated person because of the way of her talk, but not sure if she is intelligent. I can say that she is a person who studies a lot and has a good mind.

今日は私のギャラリーと仕事場に訪問者がありました。この若い女性が高学歴である事は彼女の話し方で、見てとれました。しかし、広く見聞できてるかどうかは分かりかねました。私に言えるのは、彼女は一生懸命勉強して来た人で、心の良い人です。

She made me a question;why I make ダン蔵’s portrait with very intellectual words.

彼女は私になぜ私がダン蔵の肖像画を作るのかという事を、非常に知的な言葉で質問をしました。

I said I am not a very good educated person and I don’t understand your words. However, I have been making ダン蔵’s portrait because I love him. I love him, then I get a desire to make his portraits and I have the skill to make those portraits. Why not?

私は、ちゃんとお勉強してないのであなたの言葉がわかりませんが、でも、私がダン蔵の肖像画を作るのは愛してるからです。愛してるから、描きたいなという欲求が生まれ、私はそれができる技術があります。それをしない理由がないでしょ?

She groaned at my answer. 彼女は私の答えに唸ってしまいました。

However, I believe if you don’t love the subject you can’t make any relationship with it.

でも、私はその主題を愛してなければ作品は出来ないと信じてます。

To those who speak highly educated, my work may seem like a mere play.

高学歴的に話す人たちには、私の作品なんかは単なる遊びに見えるのかも。

And maybe I just keep playing, like when I was a kid.

そして私は遊び続けてるだけかも、子どもの頃のように。
