【息の長いMacデータ復元作業へ地道に・・・】



昨日から諸業務に一段落ついたので懸案のMacデータ復元作業に着手。
っていうか、例のSSD外付け製造会社からは悲観的な見通しが示されていて
いわば本スジでの復元はなかばは諦めざるを得ないことになっています。
電気的ショックがなんらかの要因で加わったものというのが原因推定ですが
メーカーとの間での原因特定して同意を得るのは困難だと思えるし、
また本来の自分自身の大切なデータ復元自体とその努力は一致しない。

ということで時間をみながら、古い問題を起こしたMacをTimeMachineを使って
問題発生した時点2022.9.15以前のバックアップ時点に戻して
その段階の環境から、救い出せそうなデータを探す作業であります。
まずは緊急避難的、応急対応的なデータ群を
問題が起こった時点でのMac本体上で再確認するということ。
復元段階でも主要なデータは外付けSSDに置かれていたので
ムダかなぁと思っていたのですが、完全にムダかどうか
時間があればチャレンジはしてみる価値があると思ったのです。
「一縷の望み」みたいなことですね（笑）。
この工程前段階の機種変更は済ませたので旧環境マシンをほぼ２ヶ月前に復元。
そうしたところ「デスクトップ」データが復元された。
そのなかで「cloud」にバックアップされていたデータ群と出会った（！）
恐る恐るそのフォルダ群にアクセスしたところ、
カラのフォルダも多いのですが、なかには実データがあるものもあったのです。
おお、であります。
そういったデータ群をとりあえず現在環境の方に移行させて保存。
ここから先はひとつひとつのデータをチェックして
個別にそれが有用なオリジナルであるか、現在環境と照合していく作業。
「パーソナル」コンピュータ上のデータなので、こういう照合作業も
ユーザー自身が全部をしっかり確認するしかない。
根気のいる作業ですが、ジミジミと頑張りたいと思っております。
しかし絶望は愚か者の結論と呪文を唱えながら（笑）
たまに発見できるリアルデータに一喜一憂を繰り返しております。

回り道した上でもう一回、分岐点に戻って破壊された残骸のなかから
生き残っている有用価値を再発見するような作業。
作業効率という現代世界の最大公理にはどうも相反する作業ですが、
時間を見つけながら取り組んでいこうと考えております。
三途の川の川原で石を積み上げる作業にも似ているのかなぁ（笑）。

Steady to the long-lasting Mac data recovery work…
External SSD suddenly ascended. Pessimistic news from the manufacturer. Searching for the missing data by all means. Piles of stones on the banks of the Sanzu River…

Since yesterday, I’ve been working on my Mac data recovery project.
I mean, the SSD external manufacturer gave me a pessimistic outlook.
So, I have to give up on the restoration in the main process, so to speak.
The cause of the problem is presumed to be some kind of electrical shock.
It would be difficult to identify and agree on the cause with the manufacturer, and it would also be difficult to restore the data that is important to me.
Also, it is not consistent with the original data recovery itself, which is very important to me.

So, I’m going to try to restore the old problematic Mac using TimeMachine, while watching the time.
Back to the backup point in time before 2022.9.15 when the problem occurred.
I am trying to find data that can be salvaged from the environment at that stage.
First, we need to find the data that can be saved as an emergency evacuation or emergency response.
The first step is to reconfirm the emergency evacuation and emergency response data on the Mac at the time the problem occurred.
Since the main data was placed on the external SSD even at the restoration stage, I thought it would be useless.
I was wondering if it would be a waste of time, but I am not sure if it is a complete waste of time or not.
I thought it would be worth a try if I had time.
It’s like “a ray of hope” (laughs).
Since I had already changed the model in the preliminary stage of this process, I restored the old machine to the way it was almost two months ago.
I did so, and the “desktop” data was restored.
In the process, I came across a group of data that had been backed up in the “cloud” (!).
When I accessed the folders with trepidation, I found that they were all empty.
There were many empty folders, but some of them had actual data.
Oh, yes!
I migrated them to the current environment and saved them.
From this point on, we check each piece of data individually to see if it is useful and original.
From this point on, we check each piece of data individually to see if it is a useful original and check it against the current environment.
Since the data is on a “personal” computer, this kind of verification work is not done by the user.
The only way to do this is for the user to check all the data thoroughly himself.
It is a patient process, but we are willing to do our best.
But despair is a fool’s conclusion and spells the conclusion of a fool (laughs).
I am repeatedly pleased and saddened by the real data that can be discovered from time to time.

After taking a detour, I return once more to the junction point and rediscover the useful value that survives among the destroyed wreckage.
I am happy and sad again.
It is a task that is at odds with the greatest axiom of the modern world, which is work efficiency.
But I am planning to work on it as I find the time.
I wonder if it is similar to the work of piling up stones on the banks of the Sanzu River (laughs).

【雲との永い対話 地球の息づかい2】



仕事上では最近、新事業のこともあって
水面下での動きが主流になってくるので当然書きにくい事柄が多い。
ということでブログではやや一般的な興味分野についての話題が増えてきます。
やむを得ない状況のなかであります。

で、究極的に「雲をつかむような」話題ということです（笑）。
写真は最近の出張時に見ていたホテルの部屋からの朝の雲の様子。
動物は「天気」という自然条件によって毎日の行動に制約が掛かってくる。
天気のいい日には「遠くまで行く」という心情を呼びやすいし
雨模様の日には「あんまり外には出ないようにしよう」というふうに考える。
「雲行き」というコトバは人間生活の基本決定要因。
そして人間は生きてきた日数だけ、空模様とは対話し続けてきている。
しかし当然ながら、風土性には世界各地、日本各地で違いがある。
雲というのはその土地の水分を反映するものでもあるでしょうから
結果として、その場所で出会う雲の様子とは一期一会のものだろうと思う。
青春期にはじめて海外旅行をしたとき、ローマに降り立って
地中海気候の半島部に沸き立つ雲の様子を見て
「え、雲の表情がこんなにも違う・・・」と強い印象を持った。
最近の「地球史」主に気候変動と地形変動の研究などをチラ見すると
こういう直感印象には大きな根拠があるのだと気付かされます。
日本列島というのはアジア大陸から分離して
その後、生成された日本海と、ヒマラヤ山脈からの偏西風によって
独特の気候環境がもたらされた、というように分析されてきている。
四季変化がここまで明瞭である風土というのは実は奇跡的で
そういった特異性は雲のさまざまな表情に正確に反映されているのではないか、
自然な直感としてそのように思っています。
日本海と太平洋に挟まれた気候風土条件はイタリア半島とも通じるものが
あるのかもしれない。
わかいときにこころに芽生えたこういう気付きに
長い年月経過後に再度、気になって仕方なくなってしまう（笑）。
人生時間には定量というものがあるのだから、
少なくとも自分という記憶装置に芽生えた素朴な印象、疑問については
なにがしかの「解」を求めてみたい、そう考えるのは自然。

で、この写真に現れた雲からのメッセージについて
そこにはやはりその土地の大状況が反映していることは間違いがない。
場所は千葉県内陸部地域であり、そこから東方向、太平洋側を向いた方向。
関東平野の広がりと房総半島的な両方の要素が表れるのでしょう。
広大な平野部を反映した雲が、空というキャンパス上で
一期一会で踊る光景からどんな超メッセージが伝わってくるのか？
すこしずつ、学びを深めていきたいと思っています。

A Long Dialogue with Clouds: The Earth’s Breath 2
The combination of Japan’s volcanic terrain, the steam from the Sea of Japan, and the westerly winds from the Himalayas creates a unique cloud formations on the earth. Gaze at the clouds that reflect this. The clouds reflect this.

On the job, I’ve been working on some new projects lately.
In my work, there are many matters that are naturally difficult to write about, since they are mainly underwater activities.
This means that my blog will increasingly focus on topics of general interest.
This is an unavoidable situation.

So, ultimately, I am talking about topics that “catch the clouds” (laughs).
The photo shows the morning clouds from my hotel room during a recent business trip.
Animals are constrained in their daily activities by the natural conditions of “weather.
On a sunny day, it is easy to call to mind “going far away,” and
On a rainy day, they think, “I should not go out too much.
The word “cloudiness” is a basic determinant of human life.
And humans have been interacting with the sky for as many days as they have lived.
Naturally, however, there are differences in the climate of different parts of the world and of different parts of Japan.
Clouds are probably a reflection of the moisture content of the land.
As a result, I believe that the clouds one encounters in a particular place are a once-in-a-lifetime occurrence.
When I traveled abroad for the first time in my youth, I landed in Rome and
I landed in Rome and saw the clouds rising over a peninsula with a Mediterranean climate.
I had a strong impression that the clouds looked so different from each other.
When I glanced at recent studies on the history of the earth, mainly on climate change and landform change, I found that there was a great deal of evidence for this intuitive impression.
I realize that these intuitive impressions have a great basis.
The Japanese archipelago was separated from the Asian continent
The Sea of Japan and the prevailing westerly winds from the Himalayas have created a unique climatic environment.
The Japan Sea and the prevailing westerly winds from the Himalayas have brought about a unique climatic environment.
It is actually a miracle that the four seasons are so distinct.
I have a natural intuition that such peculiarities are accurately reflected in the various expressions of clouds.
This is my natural intuition.
The climatic conditions between the Sea of Japan and the Pacific Ocean may have something in common with the Italian peninsula.
It may have something in common with the Italian peninsula.
This realization, which sprouted in my heart when I was young, will come back to me again after many years.
I can’t help but become curious again after a long time has passed (laughs).
There is a fixed amount of time in life.
I should at least seek some kind of “solution” for the simple impression or question that sprouted in the memory device called myself.
It is natural to want to seek some kind of “solution” to at least the simple impressions and questions that have sprouted in one’s memory.

And, as for the message from the clouds in this photo
There is no doubt that the message from the clouds in this photo is a reflection of the local conditions.
The location is the inland region of Chiba Prefecture, and the direction from there is toward the east, facing the Pacific Ocean.
It would show both the expanse of the Kanto Plain and the Boso Peninsula-like elements.
Clouds reflecting the vast plain on the campus called the sky.
What kind of super-message will be conveyed from the scene that dances in a single lifetime?
I would like to deepen my study little by little.

【地球の息づかい・ニセコ大湯沼硫黄泉に癒される】



最近、地質レベルでの「歴史」というものが解析されている。
東京上野の国立科学博物館では「化学層序」という聞き慣れない展示。
地質の積み重なり「層序」レベルでの史的研究成果を発表している。
わたしのライフワーク化してきた興味分野、歴史・地球史という
レベルでの人類知が深まってきているということなのですね。
地球の生成についての現在までの時間経緯をあきらかにしてくれている。
人生時間には定めがあるので、それに生きるという選択はもうないのだけれど、
しかしこういう好奇心を刺激して止まない進歩にはワクワクさせられる。
人間一個ではある特定の分野で活動するくらいしかないけれど、
同時代を生きる同胞たちの人生成果から深いものを教えていただける。
本当にすばらしいことだと思っています。

たまたま日本列島という環境条件の中にいのちを受けて
火山列島での人生を過ごしてきて、その心身を無上に癒してくれるのは温泉。
写真は先日行ったニセコ町の「大湯沼」の様子であります。
日本列島という長い地質年代的生成過程のある断面として
温泉のふしぎがあると思いますが、ここでは温泉が露頭してみえている。
沼の水面では火山活動によるお湯の煮立ちの様子が目でみえる。
それこそさまざまな地質の「層序」を複雑に通り抜けた地熱が
溜まった沼の水面をグラグラと湯立たせている。
わたしは料理が好きなのでまるでキッチンに立っているような錯覚（笑）。
温泉卵という発想は人間誰しもたのしく思い浮かぶことがわかる。
・・・というような思いを持っていたら、解説文は以下のよう。
「チセヌプリの南麓にある大湯沼はその昔は間欠泉で一定時間で噴湯があったが
明治末年、イギリスのハウル社という鉱山会社によって湯沼から大量の硫黄が
組み上げられたことで湯沼の構造が崩れ間欠泉は失われた」という記述。
まぁそういう「人新世」的な自然破壊もまた現実にたくさん起こって
たぶん目に見える環境も、そのような関与の結果としていまわれわれの前にある。
「化学層序」とともに人間の活動というものも深く地球に関与し始めている。
ハウル社さんはきっと爆薬原料として硫黄を採掘したのでしょう。
自然破壊の証拠とも言えるけれど、しかし現在温泉としても利用しているので、
そういうことも含めて自然の営為といえる、まさに「人新世」。

で、隣接する町営温泉では硫黄臭たっぷりのお湯が楽しめる。
温泉成分にはガス成分も多量に含まれるということで換気が徹底され
寒いくらいの室温の中、香ばしい硫黄温泉に浸かっておりました。
巨大な地球の地質変動のたまたまの一瞬の刹那のなかでは
人間の営みなどほんのちっぽけさなのでしょうね。

Healing at Niseko Oyunuma Sulfur Springs, the Breath of the Earth
The geology of the volcanic archipelago on the earth’s level, Japanese people are incomparable hot spring lovers. The towels used are soaked in the thick sulfur smell. But I love it. I love it every day (laughs). I love it every day (laughs).

Recently, “history” at the geological level has been analyzed.
At the National Museum of Nature and Science, Ueno, Tokyo, an unfamiliar exhibit called “Chemistry Stratigraphy” is on display.
The exhibit presents the results of research at the “stratigraphic” level, which is the layering of geological formations.
This is a field of interest that has become my life’s work, and it has deepened my knowledge of history at the level of earth history, so to speak.
I am now able to understand more and more about the history of the Earth at the level of the Earth’s history.
It is revealing the history of the creation of the earth up to the present time.
I know that I no longer have the choice to live in that time, because life time is predetermined.
But I am always thrilled by the advances that continue to stimulate my curiosity.
I am always thrilled to see such progress.
As an individual, I can only be active in one particular field.
but we can learn something profound from the life achievements of our fellow human beings living in the same era.
I think this is truly wonderful.

I happened to be born in the environmental conditions of the Japanese archipelago, and I have spent my life on a volcanic archipelago.
Having spent my life on a volcanic archipelago, I find that hot springs heal my body and soul.
The photo shows the Oyunuma Swamp in the town of Niseko, which I visited the other day.
As a cross-section of the long geological and chronological formation process that is the Japanese Archipelago, I think there is a mystery of hot springs.
The hot springs can be seen outcropping here.
On the surface of the swamp, we can see the boiling of hot water caused by volcanic activity.
That is the geothermal heat that has passed through the various geological “stratigraphy” in a complex way.
The surface of the swamp water was boiling with a wobble.
I like cooking, so I felt as if I was standing in the kitchen (laugh).
I know that the idea of “onsen tamago” (hot spring eggs) comes to everyone’s mind with pleasure.
I was thinking that I would like to try this, but then I read the following commentary.
Oyunuma, located at the southern foot of Chisenupuri, used to be a geyser that gushed hot water at regular intervals.
In the end of the Meiji era, a large amount of sulfur was produced by a mining company named Howle in England, and the structure of the Yunuma Swamp was built up.
The geyser was lost when the structure of Yunuma collapsed due to a large amount of sulfur being pumped out of Yunuma by a British mining company called Howle and Co.
Well, such “Anthropocene” destruction of nature also occurred in reality.
The visible environment is now before us as a result of such involvement.
Along with the “chemical stratigraphy,” human activities are also deeply involved in the earth.
I am sure that Howl Corporation mined sulfur as a raw material for explosives.
It could be said that this is evidence of the destruction of nature, but since it is also used as a hot spring today, it is not surprising that the sulfur mine was used as a source of explosives.
This is also an act of nature, the “Anthropocene”.

The adjacent hot spring is full of the smell of sulfur.
The hot spring water contains a large amount of gaseous components, so ventilation is strictly enforced.
We were soaking in the fragrant sulfur hot spring in the cold room temperature.
In a momentary epoch of huge geological changes of the earth, human activities are only a small part of the story.
I guess human activities are just a small part of the momentary geological changes of the gigantic earth.

【人間の生きる場所と外部との関係】



どうもここのところ興味分野が内面的になってきているかもしれない。
家の意味合いという本質的な部分でしょうか。
空間としての機能性というものでは生存維持と自己DNAの世代更新、
子育ての安全環境を作り出すということが家というものの基本目標。
人間という生物存在は完全に成長するまでには20年近い長い時間を必要とする。
その間は親の世代がその安全環境を保障するのが自然。
意識するかしないかは問わず、このことが最大の目標になる場合が圧倒的だった。
一方で単身での人生選択の結果を反映した家づくりも広がってきている。
このことが人間の家づくりの意味合いを根底的に変えるのかどうかは
まだ趨勢をしっかり見定めていかなければならない。
子育てという目標とそれがない場合の違いというのは、
まだ十分に体系的に把握できない段階なのではないか。
今後、こういう部分も探求されていく必要はあると認識している。

そういう人間生活論とは別に、機能性としての住宅では
窓の開け方というのが最大の興味分野になることは間違いが無い。
より大きくは地域環境そのものを選択するという前提条件があり、
この部分から大きな仕分けができていくのだろう。
しかし一般的にはそういう選択以降、周辺環境との「対話」について
窓の開け方、風景の切り取り方というのが重要なファクターになる。
ここで北海道の場合には周辺環境の風景密度が広い、という与条件がある。
「なにもない空間」という部分が大きいと思う。
冬の堆雪場所を確保せざるを得ないことから、このことが必然化する。
建物間隔であったり、道路の空隙領域が相対的に広く取られるということ。
このことが窓の切り取り方にも大きく影響してくる。
札幌のような都市集住環境でも「視線が抜けて行く」感覚は強くある。
北海道以外の地域では「見たくない」外部環境の中、見たい環境造営として
庭造りの需要が高まるけれど、北海道では必ずしもそうではない。
なんといっても圧倒的な風景の広がりが担保されていることから、
そこまでは人工に頼らないという風土性が存在する。
首都圏に暮らした経験からするとまず雲の生成、様子自体が全然違うと思う。
はじめて海外に行ったとき「あ、雲が違うなぁ」と感じたけれど、
大きな地域環境要因での相違が大きいのだと思っている。
もちろんそれぞれの地域でそれぞれの圧倒的美感はあるのだけれど、
それよりも周辺環境的「狭さ」がより強く感じてしまう。
北海道もやがて本州化して意識的に周辺環境を創造する必要性が高まるのかどうか、
まだ、人口密度がそこまでになっていないので、意識化されていない。
窓の開け方、風景の切り取り方にあっけらかんとして対応しているのだろうか。

高断熱高気密という性能要件以上に案外この部分が、
北海道とそれ以外の地域の家づくりの意識の決定的違いなのかもしれない。
全国規模の住宅コンクール審査を依頼されそうなのですが、
そういうこともきっかけにして、こんなテーマについても
家づくりのメンタルの部分での文化的相違として考えて見たいと思っている。

[The relationship between the place where humans live and the outside world.
Each region has significant differences in cloud production and the sense of landscape. The balance between the man-made environment and the local environment created by clouds. We would like to consider the human environment from this perspective. ・・・・・.

Apparently, my field of interest may be becoming more internal these days.
Is it the essential meaning of a house?
In terms of functionality as a space, the basic goal of a house is to maintain survival, to renew one’s DNA generationally, and to create a safe environment for raising children.
The basic goal of a house is to create a safe environment for raising children.
A human being needs nearly 20 years to fully develop.
During that time, it is natural for the parents’ generation to guarantee a safe environment for their children.
Whether consciously or not, this was overwhelmingly the primary goal in many cases.
On the other hand, there is a growing trend toward home building that reflects the results of single life choices.
Whether this will fundamentally change the meaning of human home building remains to be seen.
We still have to closely monitor the trend.
The difference between the goal of raising a child and the goal of not raising a child is still a stage that cannot be fully systematically grasped.
The difference between the goal of child rearing and the absence of child rearing cannot yet be fully systematically grasped.
We recognize the need to explore this aspect in the future.

Apart from such a theory of human life, the way windows are opened is the most interesting aspect of housing in terms of functionality.
The way windows are opened is surely the area of greatest interest.
The larger premise is the selection of the local environment itself.
This is where the major sorting takes place.
In general, however, after such a selection, “dialogue” with the surrounding environment
The way windows are opened and the way landscapes are cut off are important factors.
In the case of Hokkaido, the density of the landscape in the surrounding environment is very large, which is a prerequisite.
The “empty space” is a major factor.
This is inevitable because it is necessary to secure a place to store snow in winter.
The space between buildings and the road space is relatively wide.
This also has a significant impact on the way windows are cut.
Even in an urban residential environment such as Sapporo, there is a strong sense of “the line of sight slipping away.
In areas outside of Hokkaido, the demand for garden construction is increasing as a way to create an environment that people want to see in the midst of an external environment that they “don’t want to see.
In Hokkaido, however, this is not necessarily the case.
After all, the overwhelming expanse of the landscape is guaranteed.
However, this is not necessarily the case in Hokkaido.
Having lived in the Tokyo metropolitan area, I can say that cloud formation and the appearance of clouds themselves are completely different.
When I went abroad for the first time, I felt “Oh, the clouds are different.
I believe that there is a big difference due to environmental factors in each region.
Of course, each region has its own overwhelming sense of beauty.
I felt more strongly the “narrowness” of the surrounding environment.
I wonder if Hokkaido will eventually become more like Honshu, and whether the need to consciously create the surrounding environment will increase.
Since the population density has not yet reached that level, it has not yet been made conscious.
Are they responding to the opening of windows and the cropping of landscapes in a straightforward manner?

More than the performance requirement of high thermal insulation and airtightness, this part of the house is more important than one might think.
This may be the decisive difference in the awareness of house building between Hokkaido and the rest of Japan.
I’m about to be asked to judge a nationwide housing competition.
That is also a good opportunity for me to discuss such a theme as well.
I would like to consider and see this as a cultural difference in the mentality of house building.

【家のいのちが尽きる。廃屋の残照】


住宅取材を数十年続けてきています。
通常は新築されたばかりの住宅が多い。
ときどきはリフォームされた住宅も取材するけれど、
その動機の主要な部分は生活の場としての機能回復、現代化。
カタチは残るけれど機能性としては最新のライフスタイルにあわせることになる。
それは当然のことで、現代を生きる我々はまさか明治大正の暮らしを
復元したいと思っているわけではない。
このことはたぶん歴史年代を通して、あるいは家という定住をはじめて以来
人間と家との関係ではそうであったに違いない。

取材を重ねてくると、古民家とかの過去物件にも強く興味が湧いてくる。
これはたぶんわたしの個人的なものであるに違いない。
歴史とかがそもそも好きでその延長線上で
過去の時間、先人が過ごしてきた空間という興味が盛り上がった結果なのだろう。
そういう心理のひとつのあらわれとして廃屋に惹かれている。
廃屋からはかつての人々の暮らしようが立ち上る空気感がある。
きのうわたしの「好みの空間」写真のAI検証の一端をご覧に入れたけれど
先人の空間体験を追体験することで「伝わって」来るモノがある。
これは感覚の領域のことなので、理性的・合理的に整頓はできないけれど
たぶん想像力の領域で見えてくる部分なのでしょうね。
北海道では地方の道路沿いなどでも写真のような光景に出会う。
土地を得てそれを耕すことで自立生計することができるという夢を抱いて
150年前くらいから多くの移住者たちがこの地に暮らしてきた。
そしてその家で世代更新の場が確保され、わたしたちが生き延びてきている。
そういう祖父母父母たちの暮らしようがまざまざとピンナップされている。
わたしにはどうもそのように見えてならないのですね。
つい頭を垂れされられる思いが募ってくるのです。
家はそういう場であって、次の世代に託したものの叫びのようなモノが伝わる。

一方で、この写真はわたしが幼い頃に見ていた「外界」の様子。
わたしは札幌の北大植物園を東側に見る角地の家で過ごしていた。
３才から16才くらいまでの感受性揺籃期にこの森を見て育った。
家を見るというのは外側からの視覚で解剖的に見ることになるけれど、
人間の側からは家は行動拠点であってそこから外界に立ち向かって行く場所。
主体性の部分ではこういう光景にこそ強い思い入れがあるのでしょう。
わたしの場合で言えば、この光景の手前側には札幌市内有数の幹線道路
「石山道路」があって、その道路はまっすぐ南方に向かう視界を見せていた。
「この道を通っていくと日本がある・・・・」
幼い北海道人としてはそういう主観を育てていたようにも思える。
家を見る視線と、家から見る視線、たぶん人間に決定的なのは
その両方なのでしょう。

The life of the house will run out. Afterglow of an abandoned house]
There are two ways of looking at a house, and one way of looking at it from the house’s perspective. The coverage of houses is mainly the former. The house is a proof of human life as a place to raise children. The feelings that cannot be put into words come to us. The house

We have been covering housing for decades.
Usually, the homes are newly built.
Occasionally I also cover remodeled homes, but
The main motive is to restore and modernize the functionality of the house as a place to live.
The form remains the same, but the functionality is adapted to the latest lifestyle.
It is only natural that we, who live in the modern age, do not want to restore the lifestyle of the Meiji and Taisho eras.
We do not want to restore the lifestyle of the Meiji and Taisho eras.
This has probably been the case throughout history or since the first settlement in a house.
This must have been the case in the relationship between human beings and their homes.

As I continue to conduct more and more research, I am becoming more and more interested in old private houses and other properties from the past.
This is probably a personal thing for me.
I love history, and as an extension of that love, I have a strong interest in the past.
I am interested in the past and the spaces where our ancestors have spent their time.
I am attracted to abandoned houses as a manifestation of this kind of psychology.
Abandoned houses give me a sense of the atmosphere of how people used to live in the past.
Yesterday, I showed you a part of the AI verification of my “favorite space” photos.
There are things that are “conveyed” to us by reliving the spatial experiences of our predecessors.
This is in the realm of the senses, so it cannot be rationally or rationally put into order.
But perhaps it is something that can be seen in the realm of imagination.
In Hokkaido, we encounter scenes like the one in the photo along local roads.
With the dream of being able to earn a self-sustaining living by acquiring land and cultivating it, many immigrants have been living in Hokkaido since about 150 years ago.
Many immigrants have lived here since about 150 years ago.
Their homes have provided a place for the renewal of generations, and we have survived.
This is a pin-up of the way our grandparents lived.
I can’t help but see it that way.
I can’t help but feel a sense of being made to hang my head.
A house is such a place that conveys the cries of those who have entrusted it to the next generation.

On the other hand, this photo shows the “outside world” as I saw it when I was a child.
I lived in a house on a corner lot looking east toward the Hokkaido University Botanical Garden in Sapporo.
I grew up looking at this forest from the age of 3 to 16, when I was in the cradle of my sensitivity.
Looking at a house means looking at it from the outside, from the anatomical point of view, but from the human side, a house is not a base for action.
From the human side, a house is a base for action, a place from which we confront the outside world.
From the standpoint of subjectivity, it is this kind of scene that we have a strong attachment to.
In my case, in front of this scene, there is “Ishiyama Road,” one of the major highways in Sapporo.
The road was heading straight toward the south.
“If you go down this road, you will find Japan. ・・・・”
As a young Hokkaidoian, I seem to have developed that kind of subjectivity.
The gaze of the house and the gaze from the house, perhaps the two most decisive things for human beings.
It is probably both of them.

【AIと対話しながら探す「自分の好きな空間」】




写真の３点はいま進めている新事業開発プロセスからのワンシーン。
弊社の写真ライブラリストックのデータベースからある一定数を抜粋し
わたし自身が実験モデルになって「その人の好みの住空間」探究するプロジェクト。
たくさんの写真から「これは好ましい」という写真をユーザーが選択し
それをAIの側で「傾向と対策」をさまざまに読み取って
ひとつの「提案」として「あなたはきっとこんな空間が好きなのでは？」と
問い返してくる実験での写真群から抜粋したモノ。

住宅写真というのはさまざまな「撮影方法」があって、
そのいろいろな手法の中からある特定の「解」の結果として撮影する。
住宅雑誌を30年以上継続してきて、しかも多くのスタッフが関わって
そういう「集合知」のようなものが積層して「空間を表現する言語」に至っている。
そうです、一種の表現手法が言語化している部分がある。
しかし表現されるべき住宅は作り手と頼む側の「思い」がそこに反映している。
その製造段階の思いを体感・感受した人間が一期一会で出会う。
あらかじめの「こうであるべきだ」というような計算は成立しがたい。
すべてがあるがまま、そのことを大前提として撮影が行われる。
そういう瞬間に、それこそ一期一会で写真に「空気感」を切り取っていく。
こういう結果としてのたくさんの住宅写真が積層している。
わたし自身も多くの住宅実例の取材現場に立会い、
施主さんの住宅への思いや、作り手の建築意図を現場的に取材してきた。
そして現実の住宅に立ち向かって、いくつかのアングルに表現を託していく。
こういう住宅写真について、はじめて本格的なAI解析を試みた次第。

その解析の結果「わたしの好きな空間写真」という提案がAIから送られてくる。
都合10点の写真が示されたのですが、どれも「こころに訴求してくる」。
こういった「情緒」に属する領域を解析するためのAIというのは、
自分自身でもあんまり気付かない潜在意識的な部分をある意味、可視化する。
さまざまな写真画像の「好き、そうでもない」選別を繰り返していくと
ある提案判断に立ち至ることができるのですね。
この３点の写真群はその10点の中から選んだ写真の一部です。
あくまでも空間「解析」言語体系なので、十分にコトバ化できないものがある。
ただ、受け取った自分自身では「納得感」がある。
住宅雑誌を30年以上やってきて、はじめて自分自身と向き合った感覚。
これらの写真群から、それこそ選択理由というのはさまざまにコトバ化可能。
陰影感とか、空気感、いごこちのナカミ、家族関係・・・。
自分自身もワクワクしながら、プロジェクト作業を進めているところです。

Searching for “my favorite space” while interacting with AI
A sense of confronting one’s natural preferences and the substance of one’s sensitivity to space. The AI’s suggestions clearly indicate the trigger for “dialogue”. ・・・・・・・.

The three photos are scenes from the new business development process we are currently working on.
I have selected a certain number of photos from the database of our photo library stock.
I myself became an experimental model in this project to explore “a person’s preferred living space”.
The user selects a “favorable” photo from a large number of photos, and then the AI selects a “favorable” photo from a large number of photos.
The AI then reads the photos for “trends and countermeasures” in various ways, and makes a “suggestion” as a “suggestion” to the user.
and then make a “suggestion” as “You must like this kind of space, right? as a “suggestion.
The photos are excerpts from an experiment in which the AI reads various “trends and countermeasures” and returns a “suggestion” in the form of a question, “I bet you like this kind of space.

There are various methods of photographing houses.
I take pictures as a result of a particular “solution” from among the various methods.
In the more than 30 years of running a housing magazine, and with the involvement of a large number of staff members, we have been able to create a kind of “collective knowledge” of housing photography.
This kind of “collective knowledge” has been accumulated and has led to a “language for expressing space.
Yes, there is a part where a kind of method of expression has become a language.
However, the “thoughts” of the creator and the requester are reflected in the house to be expressed.
People who have experienced and sensed the thoughts at the manufacturing stage meet each other once in a lifetime.
It is difficult to calculate what should be done in advance.
Everything is photographed as it is, with that as the basic premise.
At such a moment, the photographer captures the “atmosphere” in each and every photograph.
The result of this process is the accumulation of many photographs of houses.
I myself have been present at many housing photo shoots, and I have seen and experienced the client’s thoughts and feelings about their homes.
I have also been present at the sites of many actual housing projects, and have been able to interview the client’s thoughts about the house and the architect’s architectural intentions.
I then confronted the actual houses and expressed myself from several angles.
For the first time, we attempted a full-fledged AI analysis of these residential photographs.

As a result of this analysis, AI sent us suggestions for “my favorite spatial photos.
The AI suggested 10 photos, all of which “appealed to my heart.
AI for analyzing such an “emotional” area is a very useful tool.
In a sense, AI for analyzing such “emotional” areas visualizes the subconscious part of the mind that even we ourselves are not really aware of.
Repeatedly sorting through various photographic images to determine “like” or “not like.
I can come to a certain proposal judgment.
This group of three photos is part of the selection of 10 photos.
Since this is only a spatial “analysis” language system, there are things that cannot be fully coterminous.
However, there is a “sense of satisfaction” in myself as the recipient.
This is the first time I have faced myself after more than 30 years of working for a housing magazine.
The reasons for the selection of these photos can be expressed in a variety of ways.
The shading, the atmosphere, the sense of comfort, family relationships, and so on.
I am excited to be working on this project.

【寄せ木細工という人類文化・技術】



Macの環境を変えるのにはTime Machineというアップルが提供している
丸ごと引っ越しツールを利用することで比較的容易。
しかしAdobeとかMicrosoftなどでは独自にユーザー管理ツールがあるので
ソフト利用時に思わぬ困難が惹起したりすることがある。
一々、パスワードを要求されるのでその管理が重要になる。
今回はいくつかの「通過儀礼」を問題なくクリアできて比較的に順調。
しかしまぁ、１週間程度は様子を見るために旧環境マシンもそのまま保持。
昨日も社内環境での設定変更の結果、ブラウザ変更する必要が出るなど
およそ予期し得ない事態が起こってくるのですね。

さて本日は國學院大學博物館での特別展から。
先日も書いたのですが日本画コレクションの山種美術館からやや坂道を上がると
この博物館にたどりつくのであります。わたしの東京でのホーム。
いつの頃からか、このコースが習慣化しています。
大学の博物館というのはポピュラーなのかどうか知りませんが
歴史好きなわたしとしては母校の博物館はこころの栄養源なのです。
上の写真は「寄せ木細工手法のルーツ」的な展示。以下展示説明。
〜寄せ木細工の起源　寄せ木細工のルーツはエジプト18王朝のツタンカーメン
＜BC1347-39＞墓出土の木製手箱にまで遡れると言われ、
その後西アジア一帯で寄せ木技術を用いた作品が確認できる。
現在知られる日本最古の寄せ木細工は中国からの請来品で法隆寺宝物など30点。
これらは西アジア地域で制作されシルクロードを伝ってもたらされた。
しかしわが国では蒔絵や螺鈿の漆工芸が好まれたためか、その後
近世後期に至るまで盛り上がらず、その後再出発したとされる。
展示の石のモザイク画はアパメア遺跡（シリアBC3世紀ころ）時代のもので、
色違いの石材で鳥の模様を描き出しており、すでに同時代に制作されていた
寄せ木細工との共通性が見いだせるものといえる。その後、寄せ木細工技術は
西アジアからヨーロッパ全土に広がった。〜・・・
ということで、ことしはじめの「ポンペイ遺跡」の建築群展示などで
こうした石のモザイク技術が駆使されたことは学んでいた。
ちょっとしたことから人類の建材技術の長い歴史の一端を知った次第。

下の写真は江戸期になって盛んになった寄せ木細工による箪笥。
以前、小田原で箱根に由来すると思える在地の寄せ木細工技術を見学したが
こういった精緻な加工技術は日本オリジナルとも思える。
中国という現代史いや、世界史全体での最大の波乱要因が惹起する現代。
日本が生き延びていくためには、やはり産業技術を基盤にするしかない。
先人たちが成し遂げてきたこういった技術をさらに現代産業のすべての分野に
応用し、活用していくことがキモなのだと思った。

The human culture and technology of Yosegi-zaiku
Considering the undeniable contemporaneous symbiosis with the highly dangerous dictatorial communist state of China, Japan has no choice but to further hone its technological capabilities to survive. …….

Changing the Mac environment is relatively easy by using Time Machine, Apple’s
It is relatively easy to change the Mac environment by using the whole move tool provided by Apple called Time Machine.
However, Adobe and Microsoft have their own user management tools
This can cause unexpected difficulties when using software.
Since a password is required at every step, it is important to keep track of it.
This time, we were able to clear several “rites of passage” without any problems, and things are going relatively well.
However, the old environment machine is still there to see how it goes for about a week.
Yesterday, as a result of a configuration change in the internal environment, we had to change our browser.
Unexpected things happen, don’t they?

Today, I would like to start with a special exhibition at the Kokugakuin University Museum.
As I wrote the other day, if you walk up a little slope from the Yamatane Museum of Art, which has a collection of Japanese paintings, you will reach this museum.
I have already written about it the other day. This is my home in Tokyo.
I don’t know how long I have been following this course, but it has become a habit.
I don’t know if university museums are popular or not, but as a history buff
But as a history buff, the museum at my alma mater is a source of nourishment for my mind.
The photo above is an exhibit on the “Roots of Yosegi-zaiku (marquetry) Techniques. Here is the explanation of the exhibit.
〜The origin of marquetry The origin of marquetry is Tutankhamun of the 18th Dynasty in Egypt.
＜The roots of marquetry can be traced back to the wooden handbasket excavated from the tomb of Tutankhamun of the 18th Dynasty in Egypt (1347-39 BC).
Since then, works using yosegi-zaiku techniques can be found throughout Western Asia.
The oldest known Japanese yosegi-zaiku work is a collection of 30 pieces from China, including the Horyu-ji Treasure.
These were produced in West Asia and brought to Japan via the Silk Road.
In Japan, however, maki-e and mother-of-pearl inlay lacquer crafts were favored, and the popularity of these crafts did not increase until the late modern period.
However, in Japan, makie lacquerware and mother-of-pearl inlays were favored, and the craft did not gain momentum until the late modern period, after which it is said to have been revived.
The stone mosaics on display are from the Apamea site (Syria, 3rd century BC).
The mosaics are made of stone of different colors and depict bird patterns, and it was found that they have something in common with marquetry that was already produced in the same period.
It can be said to have something in common with marquetry that was already being produced in the same period. Later, marquetry techniques
spread from Western Asia to all over Europe. 〜The first time I saw a piece of marquetry, I thought, “I’ve never seen anything like this before.
The stone mosaic technique was used in the architectural complexes at the ruins of Pompeii at the beginning of this year.
I had learned that this kind of stone mosaic technology was used in the architectural complexes of the “Pompeii ruins” at the beginning of this year.
I learned about the long history of human technology of building materials from this little thing.

The photo below shows a tansu (chest) made of marquetry, which became popular in the Edo period (1603-1868).
I had previously visited Odawara to see a local marquetry technique that seems to have originated in Hakone.
This kind of exquisite workmanship seems to be a Japanese original.
The present day is marked by China, the most turbulent factor in modern history, or even in world history as a whole.
In order to survive, Japan has no choice but to build on its industrial technology.
We must further apply and utilize these technologies that our predecessors have achieved in all areas of modern industry.
The key is to further apply and utilize these technologies that our predecessors have achieved in all fields of modern industry.

【昨日からMac機種移行作業、無事完了】



先日の出張で乗っていたフェリーからの朝日とわが家周辺の紅葉と
背景の山々の紅葉の進行ぶりであります。
写真と記事テーマはまったく関連性が乏しい（笑）。
でもまぁ、無上の「ホーム」感の表現と言うことで・・・。

ここのところ出張時に接続ドライブのデータ消失などもあって、
これまで使ってきていたMacbookの機種について更新することにした。
と言っても同じ2020年製の機種同士でOSもほぼ同様なので
通常の機種変更とはカンドコロに大きな違いがあった。
最近のPCの傾向として軽量化優先の思想があって、
勢い、接続する外部ドライブなどとの連携部分に負荷がかかっている。
Mac本体はどんどん機能省略的になっていっていく趨勢で
現行機種では接続端子はUSB-C２口に極限されている。
それだけでたくさんの外部機器との接続をこなしていくので、
とくに電源管理的な部分での注意がユーザー負担になってきている。
先般の外部接続HDDのデータ消失もこの電源管理の問題が引き起こしたと推測。
いまはHDDメーカーの技術部門、データレスキュー部門で精密チェック中ですが、
寄せられている報告ではほぼ絶望的な状況。
この電源管理的なトラブルがもっとも可能性が高いのですね。
そういうトラブルが発生していることから
Mac本体側でもたぶん本格的なケア・修復が必要だと判断したのです。
こういうトラブルってこれまで未経験。
前述のようなメーカーのものづくり姿勢が生み出してきた新たなトラブル領域。
すべての接続外部機器についての「電源管理」を考える必要がある。
そしてそのことと同時並行でテレワーク的な、
わたしの場合では出張機会がより活発になって来たような現実の中で
周辺機器との接続環境ごと移動させることが多くなって来ているのですね。
テレワークや移動を前提とすると環境まるごと移動が求められる。
それなのにパソコンの記憶領域の総量はどんどん削減化。
まぁ、長いものにはMicrosoft、いやMacなので
対応して行くしかないのがユーザーの悲しい宿命と言うことでしょうか。

そういえば電源管理ということでは国レベルでも「電気の節約」お願いとのこと。
岸田政権というのは政策のハンドリングがどうなのでしょうか？
官僚機構に対してのグリップが強く感じられない。
むしろ財務省などの言いなりで官僚機構とのいい意味での緊張関係が乏しい。
エネルギーや電力についてはこれは現代世界の国の基幹事項。
産業政策の枢要中の枢要だと思うのですが、
いまだにマスコミが影響する目先の支持率などに惑っている印象がぬぐえない。
産業のコメ・電源管理はしっかりしてもらいたい。

The Mac model migration process started yesterday and has been completed successfully.
Macs are becoming lighter and lighter, and data is now externalized. PC users are doing their best, so you do your best too, Kishida-san! Kishida-san, you do your best!

The sunrise from the ferry on a recent business trip, the autumn leaves around our house, and the progress of the leaves in the mountains in the background.
The progress of the autumn leaves in the mountains in the background.
The photos and the theme of the article are not related at all (laugh).
But, well, it is just an expression of the feeling of “home”….

Recently, I have been on a business trip and lost some data on my connected drive.
I decided to update the model of Macbook I have been using.
However, since they are the same model made in 2020 and the OS is almost the same, I decided to update my Macbook.
There was a big difference from the usual model change.
The trend of recent PCs is to prioritize weight reduction.
The load is on the linkage part with momentum and external drives connected to the PC.
The Mac itself is becoming more and more feature-less.
The current models are limited to two USB-C ports.
This is the only way to connect to a large number of external devices.
This has placed a burden on the user, especially in terms of power management.
The recent data loss of externally connected HDDs was also caused by this power management problem.
We are currently conducting a thorough check at the HDD manufacturer’s technical department and data rescue department.
According to the reports we have received, the situation is almost hopeless.
So this power management trouble is the most likely cause.
Since such a trouble is occurring
We decided that the Mac itself probably needs serious care and repair.
I have never experienced this kind of trouble before.
This is a new area of trouble that has been created by the manufacturer’s manufacturing attitude as described above.
It is necessary to consider “power management” for all connected external devices.
And at the same time, we need to consider the teleworking, telecommuting, and other aspects of the business.
In my case, the reality is that I am becoming more active in business trips.
I have to move the entire connection environment with the peripherals more and more.
Telework and mobility require the entire environment to be moved.
And yet, the total amount of storage space on PCs is being reduced more and more.
Well, it’s Microsoft for the long haul, or rather, Mac.
I guess it is the sad fate of users that they have no other choice but to adapt to the new system.

Speaking of power management, the national government is also asking for “electricity conservation” at the national level.
How is the Kishida administration handling the policy?
I don’t sense a strong grip on the bureaucracy.
Rather, it is at the behest of the Ministry of Finance and others, and there is little tension in a positive sense with the bureaucracy.
Energy and electricity are the backbone of the modern world.
I think it is the pivotal point of industrial policy.
I can’t shake the impression that the media is still distracted by the short-term approval ratings and other factors that affect it.
I would like to see the rice and power supply management of the industry be solid.

【東京「渋谷台地」 縄文以来の歴史】




渋谷川を望む東渋谷台地には縄文時代から古墳時代の遺跡が確認されている。
台地の縁辺には古墳時代の集合墓・横穴墓群も営まれていた。
近世・近代の氷川裏（氷川神社の裏手？）には薩摩藩下屋敷や皇室御用地、
東伏見宮邸、李氏朝鮮ゆかりの邸宅群、朝鮮人女学生寮なども置かれていた。
〜國學院大學博物館資料より。
在学時にはあんまり熱心な学生ではなかったのにはるかに時間を経て
ときどき、東京出張時には散策するようになった時空超越学徒（笑）。
今回、タイムトラベルの寸暇を得てはじめて見た碑文。
ほえ〜であります。
ちょっと前までブログでは旧石器時代の列島人について探究していた。
なので、こういう記述に出会うとその奇遇に驚かされる。
大学時代にはいろいろな大学の演劇研と交流してあちこち放浪していたので
こういう邂逅はまことに驚かされます。
國學院大學メディアというWEBサイトで面白い記事を発見した。

「渋谷にも古代人がいた！スクランブル交差点に人が集まるのは必然だった!?
渋谷を発展させた“地形からのメッセージ”　」

國學院大學が位置する渋谷区東は“東渋谷台地”と呼ばれる高台。大学の隣の
氷川神社に行くとよく分かるが、相当な高低差を体感することができる。
坂を下ると明治通りに沿うかたちで渋谷川が流れている。縄文時代は
狩猟、漁撈、採集など川沿いの高台は食料獲得場所として好立地だった。
武蔵野と聞くと国分寺の方をイメージする方も多いが、実はこの場所は
“武蔵野台地”の東の端で“山の手”と呼ばれる中心地。スクランブル交差点付近は
かつては川が流れるだけの低湿地帯なので食料確保か水上を移動する以外には
行く目的がない。近代以前は氷川神社境内のような風景がこの辺一帯に広がって、
温暖で海面が高かった縄文時代前期は、海も近く利便性に長けた地域だった。
縄文人は一等地としてここを選択した。・・・

現代の我々は首都としてこの土地を訪れるのだけれど、
はるかな時間の中ではこのような土地認識が優越すべきなのでしょうね。
東京が江戸として都市開発されてから約450年ほど。
家康は関東に入部するとき根拠地として秀吉から強く江戸を勧められたとされる。
はからずも縄文人たちの土地選択と通底するような選択眼が
秀吉にはあったのかと思えるけれど、そうではなく
かれは大阪と同様の海運利便性として江戸湾を見出して
「ま、大阪よりは発展可能性は小さいだろう・・・」という安心感で
この程度の親切心はと思って勧めたのだろうと思う。
はるかな時間を経て、北海道人としてもこういう視点は
まことに興味を深くさせられるものです。

Tokyo “Shibuya Plateau” History since Jomon Period
The East Shibuya Plateau overlooks the Shibuya River along Meiji-dori. A group of ruins from the Jomon period has been confirmed. The high plateau along the river was a prime Jomon site for hunting, fishing, gathering, and other activities. Jomon Period

On the Higashi-Shibuya Plateau overlooking the Shibuya River, remains from the Jomon and Kofun periods have been found.
On the edge of the plateau, a group of burial mounds and side tombs of the Kofun period were also constructed.
The area behind Hikawa (behind Hikawa Shrine?) in the modern and early-modern periods was a site of the Satsuma Domain’s subordinate clans. In the modern and early modern period, the area behind Hikawa Shrine (behind Hikawa Shrine?) was the residence of the Satsuma clan, the imperial household, the Higashifushimi Palace, and the Lee family.
The Hikawa-ura (behind the Hikawa Shrine?) in the early modern period was also the residence of the Satsuma clan, the imperial household, the residence of the Higashifushimi Palace, a group of residences associated with the Yi clan, and a dormitory for Korean female students.

I was not a very enthusiastic student when I was a student at Kokugakuin University, but much time has passed since then.
Sometimes, when I go on business trips to Tokyo, I have become a student of time and space transcendence (laugh).
This time, I had a chance to travel back in time and saw the inscription for the first time.
I was surprised to see it.
Until a little while ago, I had been exploring Paleolithic archipelago people on my blog.
So I was surprised at the oddity when I came across this kind of description.
When I was a university student, I was wandering around and interacting with theater groups at various universities, so this kind of encounter is truly amazing.
I was really surprised at such a chance encounter.
I found an interesting article on the Kokugakuin University Media website.

There were ancient people in Shibuya! It was inevitable that people would gather at the scramble crossing!

〜The place where the ancient people of Shibuya lived is now a prime location.
The culture and lifestyle brought about by the downstream action of the river has become the foundation of the present day.
Kokugakuin University is located in the eastern part of Shibuya Ward, on a plateau called the “Higashi-Shibuya Plateau. The university is located next to Hikawa Shrine.
Hikawa Shrine, which is located next to the university, you can feel the considerable difference in elevation.
Down the hill, the Shibuya River flows along Meiji-dori Avenue. In the Jomon period
In the Jomon period, high ground along the river was a good location for hunting, fishing, and gathering food.
Many people think of Musashino when they hear the word “Musashino”, but in fact, this place is called “Musashino Plateau”.
Musashino is actually the eastern edge of the “Musashino Plateau” and the center of the “Yamanote” or “Yamanote” area. Incidentally, the area around the scramble intersection is
The area around the Scramble Crossing used to be a low marshy area with only a river flowing through it.
There is no purpose to go there except to get food or to travel on the water. In the pre-modern era, the scenery around this area was like the precincts of Hikawa Shrine, and the warm temperatures and high sea level made it a perfect place for rope writing.
Before and after the Jomon period, when the area was warm and sea level was high, it was a very convenient area near the sea.
The Jomon people chose this area as a prime location. The Jomon people chose this area as a prime location.

We visit this place today as a capital city.
In a far distant time, this kind of perception of the land should prevail.
It has been about 450 years since Tokyo was first developed as Edo.
It is said that Ieyasu was strongly recommended Edo by Hideyoshi as a base for his entry into the Kanto region.
I wonder if Hideyoshi had an eye for land selection that was similar to that of the Jomon people.
However, this is not the case.
He found Edo Bay to be as convenient for shipping as Osaka, and said, “Well, it is more developable than Osaka.
He was relieved that the possibility of development would be smaller than that of Osaka, and
I think that he recommended Shukichi with this level of kindness.
After a long time, this kind of viewpoint is very interesting to us Hokkaido people.
I am very interested in this kind of viewpoint as a person from Hokkaido.

【竹内栖鳳「斑猫」と、娘の愛猫「ピーちゃん」】



７泊８日の久しぶりの長期出張から札幌に帰還。
いろんなToDoが積み重なっていますが、きのうはカミさんとあちこち。

で、土曜日に鑑賞してきた山種美術館での「斑猫」が気に掛かる。
日本画家の竹内栖鳳の代表作で重要文化財指定を受けている。
１週間以上の出張で息つく暇もなかったので
最後の日の午前から飛行機の時間までしばし恵比寿・広尾を美術散歩。
だんだん絵の好みというのは絞られていくのでしょうが、
わたしの場合は歴史好きが際だってきたこともあってか、伝統的な感受性、
日本人的な「ものの見方」を反映したものに収斂してきた。
それこそ縄文の土偶からはじまってくる感受性は
大和絵、鳥獣戯画みたいな諧謔性もはらみながら
現代のマンガ文化に至るまでの大きな流れを感じさせられる。
そういうことなので山種美術館と東京国立博物館の展示がホーム感。
ただ今回は東京国立博物館は全国宝展示で予約者だけという限定なので
予定がつかなかったので諦めました。
仕方ない側面があるとはいえ、文化鑑賞に於いて予約だけというのは
あんまり同意できない。
忙しい人間ほど、こころの空洞が拡大する傾向があり、
それを根底から癒すような役割が文化芸術には必須なのではないかと。

わたしはネコにはあまり興味は無い方です。
どっちかというとイヌの方が好みに合っている。
ネコはいかにも独立不羈という内面を感じさせられ遠慮する部分がある。
しかし最近娘が飼っていた愛ネコが旅立ったこともあって
その娘の心情をおもんばかる気分で「ピーちゃん」の目線を思い出していた。
たまたま山種美術館でこの同じ斑猫の絵と出会った次第。
ふと「この絵の写真を娘に」とも考えたがやはり止めた。
ようやく時間の忘却が始まるときに再度揺り戻すように感じた。
この作品は作家の竹内栖鳳さんが沼津市内を歩いていたときに
ある八百屋の店先で荷車の上で寝ていたこの猫と遭遇。
「ははぁ、徽宗皇帝の猫がいるぞ」とコトバを発したのだという。
〜徽宗は北宋の第8代皇帝。書画の才に優れ北宋最高の芸術家の一人と言われる。
一方政治的無能で治世には人民は悪政に苦しみ宋江の乱など地方反乱が頻発。〜
その徽宗の描いた有名な猫の絵があって画家のインスピレーションを刺激した。
しかしその猫は八百屋の女将さんの愛猫で画家の手許に渡るには
ずいぶんと逸話があってようやくこの猫は沼津から画家の京都の自邸に移った。
しばし画家の手許で創作のモデル役を果たした後、
いずこともなく消息を絶ったのだという。
猫にして見ればやむなく画家の勝手に付き合わされたけれど、
役目を果たしてのちは猫本然の独立不羈の生き方に回帰したのだろうか。
わが娘の愛猫は結局、娘の腕の中で旅立っていったと聞いたけれど
画家のモデル猫とどっちがシアワセだったか、誰にもわからないでしょうね。

Seiho Takeuchi’s “Spotted Cat” and his daughter’s cat “Pi-chan”.
A Japanese painting work designated as an Important Cultural Property. This is a seperate reproduction from a painting of a cat by Emperor Huizong in the Song dynasty. On the other hand, the daughter’s beloved cat departed in the arms of her daughter. …

I returned to Sapporo after a long business trip of 7 nights and 8 days.
Various to-dos are piling up, but yesterday I was here and there with Kami.

On Saturday, I went to the Yamatane Museum of Art to see “Spotted Cat,” a masterpiece by the Japanese painter Takeuchi Seiho, which is designated as an important cultural asset.
It is a representative work by Japanese painter Seiho Takeuchi and is designated as an important cultural property.
I was on a business trip for more than a week and had no time to catch my breath.
On my last day, I strolled around Ebisu and Hiroo until it was time for my flight.
I guess my taste in art is gradually narrowing down, but in my case, my love of history is more pronounced.
In my case, my love of history has become more pronounced, and I have a traditional sensibility and a Japanese “way of seeing things” to reflect.
I have converged on works that reflect the traditional Japanese way of looking at things, perhaps due in part to my growing love of history.
This is exactly the kind of sensitivity that began with Jomon clay figurines.
While also containing humorous elements such as Yamato-e and Birds and Beasts caricatures, it is a major current in the contemporary manga culture.
It is a major flow that has led to the modern manga culture.
For this reason, the exhibitions at the Yamatane Museum of Art and the Tokyo National Museum are homey.
However, the Tokyo National Museum’s exhibition of all treasures is limited to those who have made reservations, so I had to give up.
I couldn’t make plans, so I gave up.
Although there are some aspects that cannot be helped, I do not agree that reservations are the only way to appreciate culture.
I don’t really agree with it.
The busier we are, the more our mental void tends to expand.
I think that culture and art must play a role to heal the void from the bottom up.

I am not a big fan of cats.
Canines are more to my liking.
Cats are more reserved, as they seem to have an inner independence.
However, my daughter’s beloved cat recently passed away.
I was reminded of “Pi-chan,” a cat with a spotted eye, because I was concerned for her feelings.
I happened to come across a painting of the same cat at the Yamatane Museum of Art.
I thought of taking a picture of this painting for my daughter, but decided against it.
I felt as if I was being jolted back into the oblivion of time at last.
This work was painted by the artist Seiho Takeuchi when he was walking in Numazu City.
He encountered this cat sleeping on a cart at a grocery store.
He said, “Ha ha, there is the cat of Emperor Huizong.
〜Huizong was the eighth emperor of the Northern Song dynasty. He excelled in calligraphy and painting and is considered one of the greatest artists of the Northern Song dynasty.
He was one of the greatest artists of the Northern Song dynasty, but his politics were incompetent, and during his reign the people suffered from maladministration and frequent local rebellions such as the Song River Rebellion. 〜The Sung Jiang Rebellion
The famous cat painted by Huizong inspired the artist.
However, the cat was the beloved cat of a grocer’s landlady, and there is a long anecdote about how it came to be in the hands of the painter.
After a long anecdote, the cat was finally moved from Numazu to the artist’s own residence in Kyoto.
After serving as a model for the artist for a while, the cat disappeared without a trace.
The cat was then never seen or heard from again.
The cat was forced to go along with the painter’s whims, but after fulfilling its role, it became the cat’s natural habitat.
After fulfilling its role, did the cat return to its natural way of life as an independent, free-spirited creature?
I heard that my daughter’s beloved cat eventually departed in the midst of my daughter.
I guess no one will ever know who was more happy, the painter’s model cat or my daughter’s cat.
