Japanese things

Empathy brings peace!

One day, I found a facebook page that posts ironic jokes every day. After that, I read machine translation and laughed every day. Even if we don't understand the words, we can empathize like this! I thought it was a great discovery. 

Unfortunately, even if the relations between countries deteriorate, if they are connected by empathy, they will not hate the people of that country. Empathy brings peace!

I can't use very difficult English. I am writing this using machine translation. So I decided to make some books with some simple words attached to the pictures.

Please read them.

Growing up in Japan 1【Empathy brings peace!】

Kindle edition (English)
by Toshimitsu Togashi  (Autor)
This book is a compilation of 45 photos of our daughter when she was a baby. I think that feelings toward children can often be sympathized with. If my daughter's picture leads to world peace, there would be nothing wonderful like this for me.

#1 Spring in full bloom
(W909mm×H727mm)
This is Edohigan in Mt.Maizuru (Tendo city Yamagata Pref.). It took two years to sketch. It expressed the heyday of Edohigan.
#3 Spring in Kurazu River
(W606mm×H727mm)
I expressed the overall appearance of the Kurazu River and the beauty of the weeping cherry trees.

#4 Flower curtain
(W970mm×H1303mm)
The weeping cherry trees along Kurazu River. I wanted to express natural shape as possible. I wondered how to complete it to the last.
#5 New starts
(W909mm×H727mm)
This is the stone steps in Mt.Haguro (Tsuruoka city Yamagata Pref.). A young couple who has prayed is returning with new hope.
#6 Spring in Haguro
(W1167mm×H909mm)
The five-storied pagoda and old cedars in Mt.Haguro. The young buds of the right trees were contrasted with the old bark of the left trees.
#7 Stone steps in Haguro
(W530mm×H652mm)
This is the stone steps in Mt.Haguro. I tried to draw each stone with the feeling of many people who went along the stone steps.
#8 Five-storied pagoda
(W348mm×H682mm)
The five-storied pagoda was built about 600 years ago.
I expressed the majesty of the years and the beauty surrounded by old cedars.
#9 Sekiyama big waterfall
(W1167mm×H909mm)
Sekiyama big waterfall is in Higashine city Ymagata Pref. I desired to draw a waterfall without knowing the difficulty of painting water. I was instructed, "The teacher is nature, you can learn on the spot."
#10 White stream pattern
(W1000mm×H727mm)
Nametsu big waterfall in Shichikashuku (Miyagi Pref.). For underpainting, I used dyed mud pigment which was red. The waterfall turned red and I had a hard time. Expressed various water flows.
#11 Lucky waterfall
(W909mm×H1167mm)
It is Fudou waterfall in Shimokurokawa(Sakata city Yamagata Pref.). It is also said Lucky waterfall. It looked like a lot of Jizo reciting a sutra.
#12 Akiu big waterfall
(W970mm×H1303mm)
Akiu big waterfall is in Sendai city Miyagi Pref. There was a lot of melting water in early spring. Every time I saw it, the flow changed. It was very difficult to draw.
#13 Spring in the west Zao Ⅰ
(W909mm×H1167mm)
Mt.Zao is in Yamagata Pref. When I went to see the Oyama cherry blossoms, the west Zao's remaining snow was beautiful.It was difficult to color the beech forest in the middle of the picture.
#14 White mountain Ryuzan
(W1000mm×H1000mm)
Mt.Ryuzan is in Yamagata Pref. I love the view of the fresh snow mountain. The trees look like chick feathers.
#15 Ou mountains in sunny day
(W1303mm×H894mm)
I had always wanted to draw winter mountains. One day, the ridgeline of Ou mountains was very beautiful, so I immediately drew this picture.

#16 The north side of Mount Omoshiro
(W606mm×H500mm)
In mid-March, I drove for the white peak of Mt.Omoshiro. I was able to find a beautiful cedar forest.
#17 Spring in the west Zao Ⅱ
(W318mm×H409mm)
I painted the sky with gold mud. The colors worked in harmony.

#4 Flower curtain
(W970mm×H1303mm)
