Light and shadow　No67 Songs Theme

テーマ「光と影」 2022.05.27

佐藤マコトさんのテーマ「光と影」で今週は楽曲を持ち寄ってみました。写真家ならではのテーマです。日本画家の先輩に日本画ってどうやって描くんですか？と聞いたところ、光を再現するんですと言われたことを思い出しました。

昨年、写真家・上田義彦さん監督の映画「椿の庭」を観ました。大御所写真家ならではの、暗部の表現に心を持っていかれました。私の住む葉山が舞台にも関わらず、明るい光よりも豊かな暗部表現の映像にはさすが写真家ならではの映画作品だと感銘しました。光と影は表裏一体。光が強くあたれば、影も色濃く。光のあたっていない影の部分に多くの美しさがあるのかもしれませんね。さあ。光と影の楽曲をみなで楽しみましょう。

We brought music this week with Makoto Sato’s theme “Light and Shadow”. It is a theme unique to a photographer. I asked a senior Japanese-style painter how he paints Japanese-style paintings. I asked him how he painted Japanese-style paintings, and he told me that he reproduced light.

Last year, I saw the movie “Tsubaki no Niwa” directed by photographer Yoshihiko Ueda. I was fascinated by the expression of dark areas, as only a great photographer can do. Even though the film was set in Hayama, where I live, I was impressed by the rich expression of dark areas rather than bright light, as only a photographer can do. Light and shadow are two sides of the same coin. The stronger the light, the darker the shadows. Perhaps there is much beauty in the shadows that are not illuminated by light. Let’s enjoy the music of light and shadow together. Let’s enjoy the music of light and shadow together.
