Scenes of “a picture” based on Blue color

■ Description



Finally, I updated Graphic Works! However, compared to the previous one, it seems that I make it blurred the boundary between Graphic and Photographic again.

Meanwhile, I do not want you to hop on the train for a daytrip in the midst of the spread of the covid-19 infection because of this work. In the first place, this is clearly the work beyond the scope of photography;

This is a fiction.

Shimonada Station, which was the subject, does not float in the sea. In fact, it is on a hill a little higher than the coastline, and there are plant pots all around, so you have to photoshop them (← excuse me), and you have to paste the sea in the foreground taken separately. The person who went to see it by this must have been disappointed and deceived.


However, there must be people who feel this scenery strangely familiar. For instance, it is a scene of “Sprited Away”. When it develops, it becomes a Sea-Train from “ONE PIECE”.

And I think this cliché has a original story. It’s after the “Seishun 18 Ticket” poster (winter 2000) issued by Japan Railway Company. I think Dentsu Inc. was advertising well at that time, and Shimonada Station was an unexplored station that I wanted to visit once in a lifetime.

In other words, 20 years ago, ‘personal travel’ was still a ‘picture’ in Japan, but now there are online reservations, so it is natural to travel individually and stay in hotels. The origin of ‘picture’ may be reproduced in ‘reality’.

It might be an inconvenient truth for the person of ‘Reality first principle’.


Speaking of youth, there was a sad news that school trips were bound to be canceled this year (and last year of course), whilst the Olympics were held. The school trip in Japan is usually held once in 3 years, and consequently covers the major part of school events, which hopefully all the students participate in. Given the current situation, implementation is almost hopeless.

In my opinion, however, travelling with friends is the main thing. It should not be an exaggeration to say that it is a de facto school trip if five or six people, who are good friends, go somewhere together.

If the number of people is that less, it should not be a problem to have a dinner. Moreover, mass vaccination will be completed till this autumn, therefore they could travel safer.

After all, fall is the season for Travel, Exercise, and Sports; — It’s the IDIOM.

I dreamed about such a ‘picture’.
