March 4 /The employment posture change of the company became the topic in the news of the national broadcasting the other day.So-called, it is globalization.Words called global standards were made much of as once.A fly of a nagging azalea said that “that was Anglo-Saxon standard” so that I thought.As a result, I felt the uneasiness that is not felt when I ware in Japan if I appeared abroad.When you stay in this country, it does not understand what can say that “this country is the country which is happy and peace utterly”.During an overseas stay, I thought that distinction with the other Asian tourists became difficult for a while, but came to understand it immediately.There is a happy feeling for the circulation of the Japanese tourist like an aura strangely.The guy talking clearly may say that they are absentminded, but it is wrong.Generous what it is; and seem to be rich room.There were many Japanese in the hotel of Paris, and the old couple who exchanged greetings in breakfast was a typical rich Japanese.The thing which the wife wears is a high-quality article, and it needs not to seem to come to Paris.The thing of the husbands is a article such as the dress-up doll of the home visiting sales of the department store.The figure that the odd quirks were possible was taste of the founders of the companies which he built in his lifetime.I supported the old couple who did not understand how to buy tickets in Lyon either.People that it seems to be totally rich. They wre looked like the couple of the great government official who resigned from his job. Not clothes, it behaves themselves.They were really beauty themselves.However, the change of the employment posture, how it will be influence us from now on.Young people will not be able to survive on the inheritance of grandpa and grandma forever.I am afraid even if I stay in Japan.The good person has the fault that is easy to be utilized by a bad person if you see on the other side.

１月２９日/最近の便りによると、ヘルシンキは本格的な冬の到来と、冬至を過ぎて日が長くなったといいます。私が滞在した期間は冬というには少し宙ぶらりんな時期だったようです。便りの写真は皆楽しそうでした。もう少し滞在したかったですね。時間を見つけて、行って来ようかとも思います、旅人として。現在、東京では忙しい日々ですので、何年後になるか分かりませんが何時かは行ってみたいですね。楽しい冬のヘルシンキ。
勤め先の礼状を書いたり、文章の査読をしたり、来年度の計画を立てていると、個人事務所の仕事が出来ません。約束の期日が守れないのはプロとしては失格です。因に、来年度から新しい自分に挑戦です。上手くいきますか、心配は尽きません。人間にはそれぞれに度量というものがあり、一定量であれば古い自分は切り捨てになります。昔、Ｓ・ジョンソン著　『チーズはどこへ消えた？』Who  moved  my  chesse?という俗っぽいベストセラー本がありました。そんな心境でしょうか。あと数年で新しい人生を切り開きたいと考えています。最近はハーバードビジネススクール教授ディーパック・マルホトラ著『チーズは探すな！』I  moved  your  chesse.という本が出ているそうですが。まぁ、切りのない論争のようなものでチーズの意味と迷路自体からの脱出がテーマだそうです。いずれにせよ….
ヘルシンキ、東京、同じ雪でも環境や人々に与える影響は違います。それぞれに地域の文化や社会資本整備の事情も絡み、それぞれの地域特性が浮かび上がります。地域ばかりでなく年齢もそれぞれです。同じデザイナーでも若い人の新しいチャレンジは、応援し続けたいと思っています。彼等の勇気は、還暦を迎えた自分にも錯覚を覚えさせます。このまま錯覚して、前進しようと思います。
January 29 /According to the recent news,It is said that the arrival of the winter full-scale in Helsinki, and it is past winter solstice, and a day got longer.Being similar seems to have been the slightly dangling time in winter in the time when I stayed.All the photographs of the news seemed to be pleasant.I wanted to stay a little more.If I found time, I would intend to go on a trip in Helsinki, as a traveler.It is several years later or does not know it, but wants to visit there sometime, now because I am busy days in Tokyo.To Helsinki of happy winter.When I write the thank-you letter of the workplace and review the sentence and make a plan of the next fiscal year, the work of the private office is not possible.I think that it is disqualification for a professional that it cann’t keep the fixed date of the promise.By the way, I am a challenge for myself who learns a new domain from the next fiscal year.My worry does not run out whether it goes well.Each has a thing called the capacity cost to a human being, and myself who is old will cut it off if it is a fixed quantity.There was a vulgar best seller book called written by S Johnson “Who moved my chesse?” in old days.Will it be such a state of mind?I want to open up the new life in several years more.A book called written by professor at Harvard Graduate School of Business Administration Deepack Maruhotra “I moved your chesse.” seems to appear recently.Oh, seem to be a dispute without the limit; about meaning characteristics of the cheese and get away from maze in itself , these things seem to be themes.Anyway, it is …Helsinki, Tokyo, the influence that even the same snow gives environment and people is different.The circumstances of the local culture and social overhead capital maintenance affect each, too, and then each local characteristic appears.Not only the local issue but also the matter of the age is quite each.Because even the same designer but I am old, I want to continue supporting the new challenge of a young designer.Their courage lets myself who greeted the sixtieth birthday get an illusion.I get an illusion and intends to advance as it is.

テキスト
寒波の中、東京郊外の美大で教えた後、いつものようにバス停でぼんやりしていたら目の前に、すっかり葉を落として針金のように細く、でもしなやかに強靭に、両手を空に広げるかのように、名も知れぬ木が二本立っているのに初めて気づいた。その何という美しさ。これはまるで「生きる」形だ。木の形のなかに、 また形がある！
そして、私は思ったのだ。この感動は、木の葉に電流を流して細胞を感光させ、木がそれまで浴びてきた光を見ようとした山本渉の、葉が星雲でもあるような作品のそれに似ていると。

One cold day, I had finished teaching in my class at Art University in the suburb of Tokyo, and I was vacantly waiting at the bus stop as usual, when I noticed two trees standing in front of me. I had no idea what species they were. While the leaves had already fell off and the bare trunks looked like thin wires, they were still growing there strongly with branches spread toward the sky. What the beautiful scene it was! They stood there showing the shape of tree and also revealing the shape of life.

All of sudden I figured out what Wataru Yamamoto had tried in his work: an electric current runs through a chain of cells of plants and exposes them to light to have a look at the sunlight pouring over the tree. His work on leaf reminds me of galaxy shape and touches my heart.
