One Step of MUKADE 2003.5.X first presented

Upstairs of sock store close to Forus
I went to the gallery MUKADEYA.
Purpose was "Kiyotaka Shishido photo exhibition - Cambodia -".

In turmoil during the war in Cambodia
A barber who opens store outdoors
Even while the clothes themselves are missing, the fashionable Date-men
A mother with a baby full of maternity
Children are showing innocent smiles towards the camera
In a crowd, soldiers who organize traffic
Girls are walking in the forest while holding hand in hand
A man who lost his leg are walking by prosthetic foot ... ...

In a nutshell, even in the confusion
Human life force was overflowing.

Father seems to be a father
Mother is like mother
Boys seem to be boys
Girls look like girls
There was also a caption as described above.

She explained it while watching the photos together.
The wife who organized the gallery MUKADEYA (a very elegant woman).
She mourned that when we were children Japan was like this.
The land became a burn mark in the war, a resident forces came.
Everybody was wearing a ragged clothes, and there were also injured return soldiers
But the children were full of life force.
Now Japan has became so rich in terms of goods thing
Even if so,Children are state of sickly......
At the end,talk became topic of "HADASHINOGEN".
(Incidentally,HADASHINOGEN is the most famous anti-war manga in Japan.)

I thought that what are war and human.
A friend said.
"if a Martians attack to us,Surely,the sense of crisis will spread throughout the all of Earth.As a result,Human beings will stop fighting each other.And further,the world citizen will be formed."
As usual,because I am a chicken,I could not refute it.
Aside from that,
I thought that it is the same composition as below.
Americans who were disjointed until then had a sense of unity suddenly by 9.11 terror.And they raised the flag of Stars and Stripes.
As Japan head towards the Pacific War,They Shouted "USA and UK of devil" with feel a sense of unity.

In other words, human beings are ….
If a common enemy does not appear mankind may can't have a sense of unity.
What are humans?
What is war?
I became want to read Tolstoy.

It is wonderful thing that there is such an art gallery in the Ichibancho.
Sendai Banzai!
