Ichiyo Haga's portrait
Ichiyoh Haga: " My true dream is to live with my beloved family and enjoy the love of my people"
BPP: Who are you? And who you really are?
Ichiyoh Haga: My name is (Ichiyoh Haga) Kazuhiro Haga 3dimensional miniature Artisan.
Born in Tokyo in 1948.
I was engaged in the business of apparel original, but it wasn't possible to maintain my profession under the influence of prolonged recession, so I had to change my job and I'm working on my current occupation since 1996.
①
お名前と自己紹介をお願いします。
立体画家・芳賀一洋(はがいちよう)と申します。
1948年東京生まれ。
もとはアパレルの商売を営んでいましたが、長引く不況の影響で立ち行かなくなり、1996年に現在の職業へと転職いたしました。
BPP: If you could say
something important to others who were listening, what would you tell them?
Ichiyoh Haga: Both for models and miniatures, or dollhouses, my work is like a diorama but is also very different. I think I am more close to painting. So I always work with the intention of creating a three-dimensional drawing and I feel my ocupation is definitely this of a 3dimensional miniature artist
①
もしこのインタビューを読んでいる人に伝えたい、なにか大切なことがあるとしたら、なにを伝えたいですか？
わたしの作品は模型ともミニチュアとも、ドールハウスとも、ジオラマとも違うようです。むしろ絵画に近いと思うのです。わたしは常に立体的な絵を描くつもりで作品をつくっておりますので、職業を「立体画家」としています。
BPP: What is your true dream, the one that keeps
you up at night and if one day it were to come true you would feel peace and
calmness in your heart?
Ichiyoh Haga: My true dream is to live with my beloved family and enjoy the love of my people.
①
あなたの本当の夢はなんでしょう？一晩中眠れずに考えてしまうような夢で、いつかかなったとしたら、こころの底から平和と平穏を感じられるような夢を教えてください。
家族を愛し、愛する家族と暮らすこと。
BPP: How is life
currently for the people in your country and what would you wish for them and
for the planet at large?
Ichiyoh Haga: The world's population doubled in the last 40 years which means, it has increased seven times in the last 200 years. It is obvious that people could no no longer produce any good to earth if this situation continues. So, now we must think to reduce the growth of population. I think humanity had to be aiming the realization of a society that will plan the reduction of the population, of the industry and of the excessive consumption. In such a society, it would also be no need for nuclear power stations which have become a major problem in our country nowdays.
①
ここ最近のあなたの国の人々の生活・人生はどのようなものでしょう、そして彼らにたいしてあるいは地球規模であなたが望むものは何でしょう。
世界の人口はこの40年間で2倍に増え、この200年では7倍に増えています。このままいけばいずれ地球に人が乗り切れなくなるのは明白です。ですから、これからは人口を減らすことを考えねばなりません。人口を減らし、産業を減らし、生産を減らし、消費を減らす右肩下がりの社会の実現を目指さねばならぬと思います。そうした社会では当然電力の消費量も低下しますので、いまわが国で大問題となっている原子力発電所も不要になることでしょう。
BPP: If you had a
chance to be a child again would you choose the same life?
Ichiyoh Haga: No, I would have chosen a different life.
①
子供に戻れるとしたら、あなたはまた同じ人生を繰り返しますか？
いいえ。別の人生を選択します。
BPP: What was the exact moment that you realized
what you wanted to do with your life?
How did you feel at this very moment?
Ichiyoh Haga: During the summer of 1995, I had too much free time at my job, so I made a small hut model with the thought of changing my routine for just one day. I was really surprised by myself because it was such a beautiful work, that I decided to change my job and this decision led to my current occupation. I haven't notice this ability of mine until that day neither I knew I had this talent. If I knew it, I think I couldn't sleep because of my excitement.
Thanks to this break from my usual routine, I was able to find my true passion at the age of 48.
①
あなたの人生で「私はこれをやるために生まれてきたんだ」と感じた瞬間はいつでしたか？そのときどんな気分でしたか？
1995年の夏、当時やっていた商売があまりにも暇になり、ある日ほんの気分転換のつもりで小さな模型の小屋をつくりました。それがあまりにもよい出来栄えだったので自分でビックリし、そのことがきっかけで現在の職業へと転職いたしました。そのときまでは自分にそんな才能があるとはまったく気がつきませんでした。
誰にでも自分の知らない才能が眠っているのではないでしょうか。
商売が左前になったおかげで、わたしは48才にしてそれを見つけることができました。
BPP: Would you like
to tell us something we didn’t ask until now?
Ichiyoh Haga: I've never done an exhibition abroad so far. I hopeI'll be able to exhibit my work at the United States and Europe, and perhaps everywhere in the world..
① 今まで質問した以外でなにか私たちに伝えたいことはありますか?
いままで海外でエキシビションをやったことがありません。いつかアメリカやヨーロッパで、世界中のいたるところで、わたしの作品展を開催したいと願っています。
