昨日、千葉県表具組合の現会長である高柳氏が肺癌のため亡くなりました。
急な話ですごく驚いた。
表具を専門でお仕事されていて、表具を愛し、表具を啓蒙することにとても熱心な方だった。
私にとっても表具の試験のことでも色々アドバイスいただいていた方なので本当にショックだ。
彼はとても緻密な方でした。
職人の仕事は経験をもとにした感覚的な作業が多い。しかし、彼は表具関連の書籍を多読していたため表具の説明の仕方もすごく数値的でわかりやすかった。
彼は一昨年、自ら技能グランプリに出場した。
He was specializing in paperhanging, loved paperhanger, and was dedicated to disseminating paperhanging.
He gave me a lot of advice for my paperhanging test, and I'm deeply shocked.
He was such an elaborate person.
Craftsmanship requires sensory work based on experiences. However, since he was reading many paperhanging related books, his explanation was very numerically-logical and easy to understand.
He participated in craft grand prix two years ago.
Mr. Takayanagi was someone who loved paperhanging, which was his vocation, and worked enthusiastically to raise awareness of the art.
It came as a big shock to myself in particular, since Mr. Takayanagi gave me lots of advice for my paperhanging exam.
He really was a very meticulous person.
For a craftsman, there are great many aesthetic tasks that must be carried out, using one’s experience as a guide. However, Mr. Takayanagi was very well read in literature concerning paperhanging, so his way of explaining methods of working was precise and easy to understand.
Just last year, he entered the craft grand prix.
He worked as an expert of paper hanging and dedicated himself for enlightening people with his love in paper hanging with enthusiasm.
I was so shocked because he used to give me many advices for an exam of paper hanging.
He was a very diligent person.
Work of masters require experiences in utilizing their sense. However, he taught the paper hanging in a very easy way with numerical information, because he used to read a lot of related books.
He himself participated into the grand prix for technicians two years ago.
このグランプリは厚生労働省が主催する技能コンテストで全国の職人がそれぞれの業界で集結する2年に1回のイベントです
本来なら出場者は、私たちの年代の30代から40代の組合の青年部です。しかし、千葉県では希望者がいなかったため高柳氏自ら出場した
私も力不足で参加できないことは、非常に歯がゆい。高柳氏はいろんな立場もあることと思うがそのプライドをかなぐり捨てて挑戦した。その姿勢は本当に敬服に値する
私が表具でできることは知れていることなのかもしれないが、その情熱だけはもやし続けていきたい
Normally the participants consist of young group like my age, from 30s to 40s who belong to the association. However, as there was no candidate from Chiba prefecture, Mr. Takayanagi nominated himself to participate.
I feel frustrated at my self not being skillful enough to participate. I guess Mr.Takayanagi was in various position, but he set aside his pride to challenge it. His attitude was indeed worthy of admiration.
What I can do for paperhanging may have certain limitation, but I hope to keep my passion toward it.
Usually, entrants are drawn from the younger members of the union, typically those in their thirties or forties like ourselves. However, there were no entrants from Chiba prefecture this year, so Mr. Takayanagi entered himself.
I am really very frustrated that I did not have adequate skill to enter myself. Mr. Takayanagi has already achieved great status, but pride did not deter him from rising to the challenge. This attitude is worthy of high esteem.
I know my own limitations as a paperhanger, but I hope that I can at least keep Mr. Takayanagi’s passion for paperhanging alive.
