TAG ,

I went Odaiba for the hanami (cherry blossom festival), but it was not good yet for the event. It was cold and there were only a few cherry blossoms, what is worse, foods are too cold. instead of them, there was a hanabi (fire works) that I didn't expect. it looked profesinal. it should be the test for the summer event. It was awsome.

what did I do tonight? Hanami or hanabi?

하나미를 하러 오다이바에 갔는데, 너무 일렀다. 날은 춥고, 사쿠라도 별로 없고... 음식은 열라 차고.. 하지만, 그대신 여름 불꽃놀이를 위한 연습이었던지 작지만, 꽤 전문적인 불꽃놀이가 있었다. 좋다구나!! 오늘 뭐한거니? 하나미? 하나비?

Strange familiarness

I went on a bike-hike in a day time. I was surprised, because I found that I am too familiar with the streets of Tokyo. Especially Nakame, Ebisu, Shirokane, Gotanda, Tokyo tower, plus these scenes of seasonal events.... I also made a huge amount of memories in these streets of Tokyo, just like in Kangnam, Seonrung and Han river in Seoul.

what can I call it? Strange farmiliarness?

낮엔 자전거를 타고 돌아다녔는데, 내가 토쿄의 거리들에 너무나 길들여져 있다는 것을 깨닫고 놀라버렸다. 정든 나카메구로, 에비스, 시로카네, 고탄다, 토쿄타워....이벤트시즌의 풍경들,. 토쿄의 거리에서도 많은 추억을 만들었구나. 한국의 강남, 선릉, 한강에서처럼...

뭐라고 할까? "낯선 익숙함"이랄까?

The end of autumn, only little memories of autumn remain in front of Gaien.

I wanted to try to walk around of Gaien in autumn. finally I did, but I felt that I came here a little late.

I enjoyed a saturday brunch with my friends at Royal garden cafe in front of Gaien. They have only a few sandwitchs, soups and pastas on the menu, but I have no comlaint at the simple taste and a peaceful atmosphere.

I really love to enjoy the changing seasons.

I dislike their rustic billboard, but their food and interior are quite nice.

I ordered pancake and omelette set for my lunch.

There is no doubt that the highlight of eating pancakes is the maple syrup.

Sunday I went to have a brunch to Daikanyama with Hisa. My choice was an almond spicy dry curry with a drink and salad.

A table near the window is always a good choice.

I finished all to-do list of October. the Exhibition, the issue of traffic accident, meetings in Korea. This is my new bicycle which the harmer paid, Rover.

Back in Tokyo, my place
The reason why I am comfortable in Tokyo is that I can be absorbed in my competition with myself. I don't need to mind other's values about a success and useless emotional troubles. Actually there is no difference between Seoul and Tokyo, The point is that I am living here as an alien.

I met many people and talked about my new project in Korea then I thought about my way of art. I decided to show more of my works in Korea. I felt unfamiliar in Kangnam street, Seoul, like in Manhattan, New York on a last trip. I looked around at buildings like a country boy.

I’ll enjoy the street that is filled with autumn smell that touches my heart, and I wanna run again to my future.

정신없이 바빴던 전시회와 교통사고 보험처리와 한국여행을 마쳤다.
사진의 자전거는 가해자가 사준 새 자전거, ROVER. (이제는 라이트 꼭 달고 방어운전할것!)

다시 돌아온 토쿄, 나의 자리
토쿄가 서울보다 더 편한 것은 여러가지 면에서 내가 나와의 경쟁에 몰입할 수 있어서이다.
필요없는 감정의 싸움에 휘말리지 않고, 내가 추구하지 않는 인생의 성공가치들로 인한 생산적이지 못한 열등감에 휩쌓일 필요가 없다. 이것은 비단 서울과 토쿄의 차이만은 아니다. 내가 이방인alien으로 토쿄에서 살아가는 것이 또한 큰 이유일 것이다.

한국에서는 많은 사람들과 만나 이야기도 하면서 내 아트의 새로운 전개를 기획했고, 나의 진로와 일의 방향을 구상하고 돌아왔다. 한국에서 더 많이 내 그림을 선보이고, 한국에 더 자주 들러야 겠다고 생각했다. 강남역거리가 맨하탄거리처럼 새롭더라. 두리번두리번 고개를 쳐들고 거리를 걸어다녔으니, 촌뜨기가 따로 없었겠지. ^^

가슴을 어루만지는 시원한 가을내음으로 둘러쌓인 토쿄의 거리도 담뿍 즐기고, 나의 미래를 향해 다시 열씸히 달려야겠다.
