『日本の一景』というテーマを頂いて、何を描こうか色々考えていた時にふと心に浮かんだのが、子供のころ遊びに行った川の風景でした。たぶん子ども会のキャンプか何かだと思うんですが……細かいディテ一ルは全然覚えていないのに、その時の空気感だけは今でもはっきりと思い出すことが出来ます。そんな懐かしい空気を少しでもこのイラス卜から感じていただければ幸いです。


‘A Japanese scene', that was the theme I was given and after thinking of various things to draw, the scene of a river where I played as a child suddenly sprang to mind. I think that I probably went there for a camp organized by the neighborhood children's association, I do not remember the details, but I can still visualize the atmosphere of the place to this day. I hope that I have succeeded in transmitting something of its nostalgic atmosphere in this work.
