I make sketches whenever I find something inspiring and touching. Those moments filter through my mind and create a small world in my sketch book.

何気ない日常の中で心が温まることを見つけた時、スケッチブックに描きとめるようにしている。そのできごとは、私の心を通って想像の世界で生き続ける。

Happy Father's Day!



Today is Father's day. The relationship between a father and a daughter is a little bit awkward.
First of all, they are the opposite sex. They have very limited time to be together. So they don't have the same intimacy as a mother and a daughter. My family is not an exceptional. My husband, Jim, is having a difficult time with Maya, sometimes.
But this week, Jim really succeeded to entertain her with his hidden paper cut talent! He is always very clever with his hands.(better than me...) I didn't know he is good at paper cutting. He created a princess, a mermaid, a prince and a dragon, everything Maya asked. She was so excited about those paper dolls that she even slept with them. Happy Father's Day, Jim!

今日は父の日。お父さんと娘の関係って、ちょっとぎこちない所がありますよね。なんと言っても、彼らは異性同士。それに、一日中外で働いているお父さんと遊ぶ時間って限られてしまうし。だから、少し距離ができてしまうのは、当たり前の事だと思います。うちも例外ではなく、夫のジムは、「タタ(ポーランド語でお父さんの事)はきらい〜!」とか言われ、かわいそうな位です、、、
でも、今週は切り絵で娘のハートをキャッチする事に成功!普段から手先がとても器用な彼ですが、切り絵の才能があるのは知りませんでした。お姫様に王子様、人魚姫やドラゴンまで、マヤがお願いするもの全部作ってみせたので、マヤは大喜び!その日は、切り絵の人形たちと一緒に眠ったほどでした。Happy Father's Day, Jim!

  1. Thanks Chiaki!
    You're very right! Being a grow up sometimes it's quite a stretch to enter a little girl's world. But there're moments when I'm able to relate to my daughter and entertain her... The days like that are the real Father's days to me.
