## Mutual Aid

(Illustration: You can't live alone. Are you going to survive by eating your own flesh?)   
--------------------   
I had many troubles. There were many times I wanted help so much that my own cries disappeared. That's why I want to help others the way I wanted to be helped.

## Things that seem like it

(I posted an unrelated picture again, but oh well, lol) Well...   
--------------------   
The world is full of things that seem like it.

I think we live in a world where it's easy to create things that many people can relate to, thanks to that technology.

## Title: Not Done Yet

I titled this work "Not Done Yet" (“未完”). Right now, I'm having certain people look at it.

## Near Future

The near future I often dream of. Looking at this reminds me. I keep looking back at that time. It was evening, the wind stopped, the sea surface became beautiful, and I went surfing. That was San Diego. Looking at the Pacific Ocean alone, I wonder how those people are doing.

## Changes in digging

Before I knew it, I was digging.   
Discovery Game.   
But lately, I think my way of digging has changed.

As long as we live on Earth, physically, wherever you dig, the end of the tunnel is just another tunnel. So, I used to think that way, with physical objectivity. I used to dig with an endpoint in mind.

## Warm Sicily

Sicily has a unique warmth.

Usually, when you meet people while traveling, you are often asked things like, "Is this your first time here?"

## What exactly is a "good thing"?

A while ago, when I was interacting with elementary school students in America through art, two fifth-graders, who looked like cocky show-offs, came up to me and asked.   
(Them) "Artists, for example, can make a lot of money just by drawing with a quick stroke, right?"

(Me) "Yes, but the work has to be a 'good thing'"

(Them) "..."

## Creators who can't draw

The world-famous Korean illustrator Kim Jung Gi has passed away. He was 47 years old. It's truly a shame. His drawings were sharp, detailed, yet warm and wonderful. https://www.kimjunggius.com/

And that reminded me of something.

## iPhone Constellations

Constellations—their names haven't changed in years, have they?

Learning from the past is fine, but if we just force the past onto young people, nothing new is going to come out of it. When it comes to talking about stars, for a child, it's like, "Ah, there are so many things I have to memorize, it's tough, I mustn't make a mistake, I have to learn the constellations properly, or I'll get yelled at! I'll be made fun of!" right?

## My former 140 yen

At 27, I quit my job with almost zero savings and decided to move to the US! I started working part-time in 1997. In the end, I saved over 3 million yen in less than a year working the night shift at Sagawa Express...

Around 1998, the yen suddenly plunged to 140 yen.

## Art Class: Exploding Expressions of High School Girls in Masks!

These days, masks seem to be more of a trend than coronavirus (Oh, excuse me, that was sarcasm, lol). While thinking about such things, I remembered something.

I once gave an art lecture at Zushi High School in Kanagawa Prefecture about the effects and expression of masks. When you wear a mask, you're putting on an outer appearance, a facade. This might mean you can't express your true feelings.
