今年は人生にとって意義深いものだった。
ウィーン・アウガルテン美術館での大きな個展。
日本芸術院会員就任。
天皇皇后両陛下が主催された園遊会や茶会に招かれ御下問をも賜り、金沢市文化賞も受けることができた。
しかし、これまでは苦難続きの人生だった。道など見えるわけがない。
何があっても乗り越えるしかない、、、頑張るしかない。。。
「縦の糸はあなた横の糸は私。逢うべき糸に出逢えることを人は仕合わせと呼びます。」
今、なぜかこの歌が脳裏から離れない。
This year has been profoundly meaningful in my life.
A major solo exhibition at the Augarten Museum in Vienna.
Appointment as a member of the Japan Art Academy.
I was invited to garden parties and tea ceremonies hosted by Their Majesties the Emperor and Empress, receiving their gracious inquiries, and was also awarded the Kanazawa City Cultural Award.
Yet, until now, my life has been one of continuous hardship. There was no path to be seen.
No matter what happens, I must overcome it… I must persevere…
“You are the vertical thread, I am the horizontal. When threads destined to meet do meet, people call that happiness.”
For some reason, this song won’t leave my mind right now.2
