256007 3042.1 MIN-NARAKEN MIN-NARAKEN 春爛花 Haru ranka (The Brilliant Blossom of Spring) 初めまして。 MIN-NARAKENと申します。 「春」は四季の中では個人的にも一番好きな季節なのです。友人の創った春の曲があります。 それをイメージの出発点として描きました。 春。 桜満開となる季節。 桜の精の、その踊るような暖かみを感じていただけたら幸いです。 How do you do, my name is MIN-NARAKEN. Of all the four seasons, I personally like spring the best. A friend of mine composed a melody about spring. And I used this image as a starting point. Spring. The season when the cherry blossom comes into full bloom. If you are able to feel the warmth of the spirit of the cherry blossom, I will be most happy. WtfCakes 05/31/13 Revert

255911 3040.1 深崎暮人 Kurehito Misaki Summer Rain Summer Rain 突然の夏の夕立はアスファルトの熱を冷まし、一時の「間」を作り出します。熱帯のスコールとはまた違った空気感に日本独特の風情を感じてしまいます。 A sudden summer shower cools the hot asphalt, creating a momentary ‘interval’. It creates a different atmosphere to that of a tropical squall, one which I think is typically Japanese. WtfCakes 05/31/13 Revert
255910 3039.1 Mitha Misa 幽玄の夏 Yugen no natsu (Mysterious Summer) こんにちは、イラストレータ一のMitha(みさ)と申します。 第2回のテ一マは「日本の四季」ということで、夏を選んでみました。 現実なのか夢なのか…判然としない、夏の夜の不思議さを描いてみましたが、いかがでしょうか。 個人的に丸窓がとても日本的だと感じたので、今回のモチーフとして採用してます。 そして、女の子はもちろん和服ですね。 人のようでいて、ちょっと妖精にも見えるようなキャラクターに描けたと思っています^^ 幻想的で煌びやかな雰囲気が出ているといいな〜。 Hello, my name is Misa and I am an illustrator. The theme for this, the second exhibition, is ‘Japan’s Four Seasons’,so I decided to use summer. I drew this picture depicting ‘the strangeness of a summer’s night, when it is difficult to tell if things are real or whether you are dreaming—what do you think? Personally, I feel that round windows are very typical of Japan, so I used one as a motif in this illustration, and of course, the girl is wearing a kimono. Although the subject is a person, I think that I have succeeded in also giving her a fairylike appearance. ^^ I hope that you can feel the wondrous, glittering atmosphere. WtfCakes 05/31/13 Revert
255909 3038.1 みけおう MIKEOU 春色巫女舞 Haruiro miko mai (Dance of the Shrine Maiden in Spring Scenery) この度は大変貴重な機会にお呼び頂きましてあリがとうこ'ざいます。みけおうです。 前回の100人展で夕暮れ時の巫女さんを描かせて頂いたのですが、やっぱリ巫女さんが好き!という事で少しテーマや方向性を変えつつ描かせて頂きました。 桜の舞う季節、水の上で神楽を舞う巫女さんが居たらフアンタジックで素敵かなと思います。今はお正月時に神社で見かける程度ですが、もっと色々なお祭りや身近な機会に巫女さんが活躍してくれるいいのにな〜と思ったり…。 これからも巫女さんをいっぱい描いていきたいと思います。少しでも気に入って頂ければ幸いです。どうもありがとうございました。 I would like to express my gratitude for being offered this valuable opportunity. My name is MIKEOU. When I participated in the ‘Eshi 100 - Contemporary Japanese Illustration’ exhibition last year, I drew a shrine maiden at sunset, but then I really like shrine maidens! For that reason I have used the same subject, although changing the theme and orientation somewhat. I thought it would be fantastic and cute if a shrine maiden were to perform a holy dance on water while the cherry blossom falls around her. Today, we only see shrine maidens during the new year festivities but wouldn’t it be great if we were able to have more opportunities to see their activities at various festivals, or in the neighborhood, etc... I plan to draw many more shrine maidens in the future. I will be happy if you like this work even a little bit. Thank you very much. WtfCakes 05/31/13 Revert

It will still be some time before the snow in her heart will melt... so the little girl has decided to make a wish to the gods on behalf of her elder sister (either out of kindness or because she is a busybody) that she will get together with her boyfriend.

256005 3035.1 MATSUDA98 MATSU DA98 いつまでも絶えることなく Itsumademo taerukoto naku (Together Forever) 別れと出会いの季節、「春」を描かせていただきました。 3月までは同じ制服を着ていた彼女達は4月に別々の学校へ進み、今は別々の制服を着て別々の生活を送っています。 少しさみしいけれどそうやって環境が変わっても絶えることなく、いられたら。明日もきっと別々のところで頑張れると思うのです。 また、そんな切ない気持ちを暖かく包んでくれる春という季節がとても大好きです。 写真を撮っているもう1人も想像していただけると嬉しいです。 I have drawn a picture of spring, the season of partings and meetings. These girls, who all wore the same uniforms until March, will be going to different schools from April; they will all wear different uniforms and live different lives. It is a little sad but even though their environments change, if they can only remain unchanged, then I am sure that they will all be able to do their best from tomorrow on their own. I love spring for the way in which it envelops this sad emotion in warmth. I hope that you will try to imagine the sixth member of the group who is taking this picture. WtfCakes 05/31/13 Revert
256004 3034.1 ポルリン Porurin 障子貼る Shoji haru (Repapering the Sliding Doors) 今回のテーマは「日本の四季」でしたので赤が好きな自分は真っ先に秋を選択し、次になにで日本を感じてもらうか考えました。その時に目を付けたのが季語でした。そして見つけたのが「障子貼る」という単語、これは冬の寒さに備えて障子を貼るという仲秋の季語。自分は覚えてないですが、子供の頃に障子を張リ替えてたのはもしかしたら秋だったのかもしれません。シャワーで紙を濡らすのが大好きでした。のリを水で溶き、薄くしてハケで塗るのも楽しかったです。 何気ない日常の中でもなんとなく次の季節のために準備する習慣や作業があり、それを行うと「この季節がきたか!」と感じます。四季を表現することは日本を表現することにも通じていると、この絵を描いて実感しました。今回のテ一マは大変素晴らしいものでした。 The theme this time is ‘The Four Seasons of Japan’; I like red so I immediately chose autumn, but next I asked myself what subject would make people think of Japan. That is when I noticed a dictionary of seasonal words for poetry. Looking inside there was an entry for ‘papering doors’, which is done in mid-autumn in preparation of the cold of winter. I do not remember, but it might well have been autumn when the sliding doors were repapered during my childhood. I used to like wetting the old paper with the shower. I also enjoyed diluting the glue with water and then applying a thin coat to the door with a brush. The custom of performing simple everyday tasks like this in preparation of the coming season, lets us appreciate the season we are currently enjoying. While drawing this picture, I realized that expressing the seasons is another way of expressing Japan. This year’s theme is really wonderful. WtfCakes 05/31/13 Revert

255907 3031.1 べつかんこう Bekkankou 涼 Ryo (Cool Breeze) はじめまして、べっかんこうです。この度は絵師100人展に参加させていただき、ありがとうございます。 今回はテ一マが「日本の四季」ということで、特に日本の夏にイメージを絞って描かせていただきました。 最近はなかなかイラストのような縁側を見かけなくなリました。それでも夏になると昔遊んだ友達の家や父方の田舎の風景を懐かしく思い出します。夏の暑い日にはクーラーの効いた涼しい部屋にでも引きこもりたいものですが、こんな夏の過ごし方も良いなとこのイラストを見てくださった皆さまに感じてもらえたら嬉しいです。 How do you do, my name is Bekkankou. Thank you very much for inviting me to participate in the Eshi 100 exhibition. The theme for this exhibition is ‘The Four Seasons of Japan’ and I decided to focus in on summer. These days we rarely see a traditional verandah like the one depicted in this picture. Despite this, in the summer I often feel nostalgic for the one in my friend’s house where I used to play as a child or the country scenery from my father’s hometown. In the heat of summer we just want to stay indoors with the air conditioning on, but I hope that the people who see this illustration will feel attracted to the kind of summer it depicts.

256001 3029.1 ひびき玲音 Reine Hibiki 制服 Seifuku (Uniforms) 日本の四季を1枚の絵で表現するのにあたって、前回の作品でも描いた女子高校生を中心に『制服と季節』でまとめようと構想を練っていたのですが、欲張リな私はひとつの季節に絞ることができず、結局全ての季節を描くことになリました(笑)。 私が感じる季節のイメージをキャラクタ一の雰囲気にかぶせてみました。 お気に入りの子を選んでいただけると嬉しいです。 In order to express Japan's four seasons in a single picture I decided to focus on the image of a senior high school girls, as I did last year, using the concept of ‘uniforms and seasons’. However, being greedy, I could not bring myself to concentrate on one season and ended up including them all. (laughs) I have combined my image of each season with the various characters. I hope you choose the girl you like the best. WtfCakes 05/31/13 Revert

Thank you very much for inviting me to take part in this event again! The theme this year is The Four Seasons of Japan’ so I chose winter and combined it with a dragon which is this year's animal, according to the Chinese zodiac. I created a feeling of winter by making the dragon’s mane and breath white. I also made the girl's eyes the same color as the dragon’s in order to make a link between the two.

I am very honored to be invited to take part in this event! The subject of this work is a girl with fox ears. At the moment I live in a place that does not get much snow but I originally come from the snow country, so I felt quite nostalgic as I drew the snow scene in this picture. The title was added after I finished the work, but it is very apt for the picture. (Konkon means both heavy snowfall and describes the cry of the fox). WtfCakes 05/31/13 Revert

255904 3024.1 西又葵 Aoi Nishimata しゅうしよくまつしま Shushoku Matsushima (Matsushima in Autumn Colors) 前回に引き続き参加させて戴くにあたり、今回のテ一マが「日本の四季」と言う事で非常に悩みました。日本の素晴らしい四季のうち、どの季節を描くか。そしてその景色をどこにするか。数々考え今回描かせていただいたのはやはリ宮城県の松島という場所でした。昨年の東日本大震災より少し前に偶然プライべ一卜で訪れていた場所であリ、大きな被害を受けた石巻、気仙沼などもその時に訪れました。その時に松島に滞在していたときに旅館の窓から眺めた素晴らしい松島の景色oまさに「日本三景」と頷きました。その素晴らしさを少しでも絵にし皆様にお届けできるよう。そしてぜひ皆様にも訪れて欲しい場所と思い描かせて頂きました。そして題材は松島の素晴らしさをより表現できる秋を選び、手前に白い菊を配置しました。白い菊は少し倭げで物悲しい印象もありますが花言葉は「誠実」「真実」です。誠実な日本。真実の日本を描けたのなら個人的にも満足です。 I was invited to participate in this event again this year, but upon being given the theme of ‘Japan’s four seasons’ to work on, I spent a long time wondering what to do. I could not make up my mind which of the wonderful four seasons Japan enjoys to use and what scenery to feature as the subject. After a lot of thought, I settled on Matsushima in Miyagi Prefecture. I happened to have been there shortly before the Great East Japan Earthquake and also visited the towns of Ishinomaki and Kesennuma that suffered such terrible damage during the disaster. While I was there I liked to look out of the window of the inn where I was staying on Matsushima and enjoy the wonderful view. It is definitely worthy of being described as one of Japan’s ‘three greatest views’. I hope that I have been able to capture even a small part of its beauty to deliver to you all. I also drew it in the hope that you might visit the area one day. For that reason I chose to depict it in the fall, when Matsushima is at its most beautiful, and I added some white chrysanthemums in the foreground. White chrysanthemums seem ephemeral and melancholy, but in the language of flowers, they stand for ‘fidelity’ and ‘truth’. If I have succeeded in depicting a faithful image of Japan, the true Japan, then I will be very happy. WtfCakes 05/31/13 Revert
255903 3022.4 ななかまし mai nanaca ほろほろ桜天よリこぼるる Horohorosakura ten yori koboruru (Falling Cherry Blossom, Spilling Down from Heaven) 初めまして、ななかまいと申します。 今回のテ一マは『四季』とのことなので、しきつながりで(駄洒落一。)『ほろほろと天よりこぼるる桜かな』という正岡子規の俳句をオマージュ&自由律風にしたタイトルにしてみました。 ……確かこんな俳句があったはずなのです。 ググっても出てこなかつたので自信ないですが; えぇと。最近は『ちはやふる』でちょっとだけメジャ一になった百人一首を始め、俳句や短歌などの短い言葉の中には四季の風物が織り込まれているものが多いですよね。 言葉は時代とともに変化して、辞書を片手に読まないと分からない作品も多いけど、それでも美しいものを美しいと感じる心は、きつと今も昔も同じ。そんな思いが伝わると嬉しいです。 余談ですが、中学高校と百人一首部だったななかは上述の『ちはや』の影響で百人一首人口が増えてくれて(?)すこく嬉しいです。 力ルタ楽しいですよ力ルタ!是非☆ How do you do?

I named this work in homage to a haiku poem by MASAOKA Shiki: ‘Spilling from heaven, One following another, The cherry blossom’ but using a free style. ...I was sure that she wrote a poem like this, but no matter how long I googled it, I could not find it so I am no longer confident. Err...recently the popularity of the manga, Chihayafuru, has led to a renewed interest in Japanese poetry, such as haiku or tanka, which incorporate expressions of the scenery of the four season’s within a short verse. Words change with times and many of these old poems are now incomprehensible unless you have a dictionary to hand, but I think that our hearts, which allow us to recognize beautiful things as being beautiful, remains unchanged in both past and present. I will be delighted if you can feel this in my work. To change the subject, I was a member of the poetry card club at junior and senior high school, so I am delighted to see more people interested in the subject as a result of the heroine ‘Chihaya’ in the manga I mentioned earlier.

255902 3021.1 七尾奈留 NARU NANAO 夏の夜 Natsu no yoru (Summer Niaht) 「日本の四季」をテーマにという事なので、私の大好きな季節「夏」を選びました。もっとも好き嫌い以前に「桜満開お花見」とか「紅葉」とか「ホワイトクリスマス」といった、日本人なら誰しもあリそうなシチュエーションに一切縁がない沖縄育ちには、夏以外の季節を好きになる機会が……。 そんなこんなで夏の夜、水面に映る花火を描こうと思い、海や浴衣に花火に神社に…と、描きたいもの、子供の頃に近所で見た景色や賑やかな中を飛んでいる蛍など、昔の思い出も含めてこの絵の中に詰め込んでみました。 As the theme was Japan's four seasons, I chose my favorite season, summer. Although I say it is my favorite, I come from Okinawa where we do not experience the ‘cherry blossom viewing’, ‘autumn leaves’, ‘white Christmas’ or other events that the rest of the Japanese enjoy, so I never had a chance to like anything but summer... I decided to draw a summer’s night with fireworks reflected in the surface of water. The sea, a yukata kimono, fireworks, a shrine, all these things that I wanted to draw derive from the scenery of my childhood when the sky was full of fireflies, so I have included all my memories in this picture.
