去年の夏のスケッチです。仙台に出かけた時はたいてい寄るこおにしている、奥松島と呼ばれるところにある野蒜海岸です。小高い丘に登ると、西には点在する松島の島々、東には海越しに石巻の街が遠望できます。訪れたのは震災後2度目でした。高い防潮堤が延々と続き辺りも整備されて、かつてあった背の高い松原はなくなっていました。復興工事の騒音は去って、波静かな海から強い風が防潮堤を吹き抜けていました。
イスラエルのガザ市民への攻撃は続いています。この3日間で500人が死亡したとニュースで聞きました。食料も入らず ガザを人の住めない土地にしようとしているみたいです。また、ウクライナ、ロシアの停戦は少しも進んでいないようです。それだけでなく 一般市民への攻撃は絶え間なく続いているようです。持てる側が戦争を有利に終わらせようと、破壊と死者を増やしているように見えます。 (05/19)

Expecting a good summer to come
This is a sketch from last summer. It depicts Nobiru Beach, located in an area called Oku-Matsushima, a place I almost always visit whenever I go to Sendai. When you climb a small hill there, you can see the scattered islands of Matsushima to the west, and in the distance to the east, the city of Ishinomaki beyond the sea. It was my second visit since the earthquake and tsunami disaster. A tall seawall now stretches endlessly along the coast, and the area has been redeveloped. The tall pine groves that once stood there are gone. The noise of the reconstruction work has faded, and a strong wind now blows through the seawall from the calm sea.
The attacks on civilians in Gaza by Israel continue. I heard on the news that 500 people have died in the past three days. With food supplies blocked, it seems as if they are trying to make Gaza an uninhabitable land. Meanwhile, the ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia appears to be making no progress. Not only that, but attacks on civilians seem to be continuing without pause. It looks as though those with power are trying to end the war to their advantage by escalating destruction and increasing the number of deaths. ( 05/19 with help of ChatGTP)
