冬のバス停と少女達
Fuyu no basutei to shojotachi (Girls Waiting at the Bus Stop in Winter)


前回、前々回の「絵師100人展」のイラストから、今回も世界観と季節を引き継がせていただきました。どこかにあるかも知れない、温泉の湧く谷にかかる橋が舞台なのですが、そこが通学途中の場所でもあります。温泉地に行くと意外と日常的に見られる光景で、さすが日本が世界有数の温泉大国と言われるだけのことがあるのだと思いました。温泉は個人的には硫黄臭がする方が好きで、さらに濁っていた方がもっと好きなので、この温泉橋下に湧く温泉はさぞかし良い泉質のものでしよう…そんな温泉が自宅の横にある日突然湧かないものかと思つてこの絵を描いていました。それではまたお会いしましよう。


As with my illustrations for last year and the year before’s ‘Eshi 100’, this work combines my personal worldview and the seasons. I do not know where it is situated, but the scene depicts two girls on their way to school, waiting at a bus stop on a bridge over a valley with a hot spring resort situated in it. This kind of unexpected scene is quite common in areas containing hot springs and typical of a place like Japan that is renowned for its number of hot springs resorts. Personally, I like the sulfurous odor of hot springs and prefer those with cloudy water, I am sure that the hot springs below this bridge will be good ones...while I was drawing this, I thought how awesome it would be if this kind of hot spring were to suddenly appear next to my house. I look forward to seeing you again.
