Ideally, I would like to do everything en plein air.

Even small children are fond of moving their hands and leaving tiny traces of colored lines on the paper. A whole career can be built, starting from the doodling. If you take the business of drawing and painting seriously, there is no end in sight. It is an infinite process.

For sometime, I have been fascinated by the idea of the French impressionist’s “En plein air”. You paint something on the spot, without deliberation, devoid of painstaking days of hard work. Everything is conducted spontaneously, on the spot, with a dazzling result artistically.

When I visited the Musee d’Orsey a few years ago I was taken by the paintings by Monet (refer to the entry into this journal on the 9th October 2004). It was at this time that the concept of “En plein air” became so important within me that I have been thinking about its universal applicability to other fields of activities ever since.

Ideally, I would like to do everything en plein air.


En plein air.

Dear:Mr.Mogi
I agree with you. If I can do everything en plein air, I will be always passionately and peaceful. So I usually walk or ride on a bike on outside in an plain air.I feel to need to do.
Actually I really would like to run like you. It must be beautiful.
So I will.

I love Monet very much.

I appreciate his wind and brightness of his works.

His works keep us in his spherical body(boundary) of Mandara.

It has been in the mind of each child.

It always makes all beings brilliant!

Recently, I feel as if I get a free hand in creation.
It arrives when I accept growing pains and willingly think out present details.
Then I feel " everything is conducted spontaneously".

I am happy because Mrs.Hidaka permitted me today to write about Dr. Hidaka in a play.
Dr. Mogi, please advise me on my creation from now on.

Difficult, but interesting viewpoint.

Nothing relating to human beings can be completely explained only by logic.
