Tokyo life starting with painting

Chapter 64: You can also carve wood (Additional update for the leader of ゆきのしたはるの)

The vertical banner bought by the student union is actually not big, it is probably a white cloth carrying a flag.

The so-called back flag is actually the rectangular family crest flag carried by soldiers during the Warring States Period. Of course, it is also used in shrines and various Japanese celebrations.

Higashino estimates that this thing will be directly inserted by the student union at the school gate by then, giving it an ancient feel.

The youth of Tokyo in 2003 are not like the sissies of Reiwa in 2020. The youth of Tokyo, Japan in this era still have some legacy of Showa.

"President Mu Tiao, what should be written on it?"

Higashinoji asked Aiko Kijo while studying the ink.

"Well, let's just write, 'Autumn is in full bloom, and this is my spring.'" Aiko Kijo had obviously discussed the content with the student council members before, and just said it without thinking about it.

There is also an allusion to the Japanese haiku saint Matsuo Basho.

The original text is: A handful of vegetables and a piece of coal, this is my spring. It means that as long as I have a handful of vegetables and a piece of coal, I will be satisfied this spring. It is a sentence that is quite philosophical about life.

But after being changed by Aiko Kijo, it became the meaning of "Although the autumn is rustling and everything is withering, this is also my spring."

Quite literary.

Higashinoji responded with a smile, then directly raised his pen, dipped it in the ink carefully, and began to meditate.

Looking at the white cloth in front of him, Higashino was silent for nearly thirty seconds before he directly raised his pen.

Every stroke, horizontal and vertical strokes are full of vitality and artistic sense.

A word is like a painting. Higashinoji writes with great concentration, as if he is completing some kind of painting.

This is what the saying goes, ‘calligraphy and painting are inseparable from each other’.

Even writing requires a unique sense of beauty.

Running script is different from cursive script. It pays too much attention to the artistic sense and does not require the viewer to have too high artistic quality.

Therefore, when the font with graceful vertical lines, yet vigorous and lively, appeared under Higashinoji, the students from the calligraphy department next to him made a surprised sound.

This is really beautifully written.

Originally, they were still unable to feel relieved that Higashinoji had taken their place in the limelight, but after seeing the continuous and vigorous fonts, they roughly understood.

This writing is indeed very flavorful. The gap is indeed huge.

Higashinoji started writing and finished writing in one go, with almost no pauses in between.

"Higashino-kun, please leave your name. It can be regarded as an honor." Aiko Kijo was very satisfied with Higashinoji's handwriting and nodded to him.

It should be said that Kijo Aiko is indeed worthy of being the student council president. She still has emotional intelligence and knows that it is a harmless favor to sell Higashinoji at this time.

"good."

Tonoji smiled and nodded.

In fact, Aiko Kijo would leave a name even if he didn't say it.

Art students all have this problem. They always leave a name underneath the things they draw.

Higashinoji left his name and then put down his brush.

His task was completed, and the white cloth was placed in the calligraphy department to wait for it to dry.

"Thank you so much for troublesome Higashino-kun this time."

Aiko Kijo came up and thanked her. Then she glanced at Asami Mamanaka, who was still dazed next to her, and sighed helplessly.

Asami Mamanaka was obviously shocked by Higashinoji's performance today - in fact, Aiko Kijo was almost the same, and her impression of Higashinoji had also changed a lot.

"Classmate Higashino, if you are interested in calligraphy in the future, please come to our calligraphy club. I will welcome you very much."

Matsumoto Jun said to Higashinoji with a smile.

"There is no need to be interested in calligraphy." Higashinoji said cheerfully, "If Director Matsumoto needs any help in the future, please come to the studio to see me."

"Higashiya-kun is really good at talking, but since you said so, I will definitely come to you if I have any difficulties. Higashino-san can also come to me if you need help."

Jun Matsumoto smiled and nodded.

Higashinoji doesn't rely on his talent and arrogance. To be fair, he quite likes to communicate with the other party.

The two of them chattered some more, and Higashino nodded with satisfaction.

If you can expand your interpersonal relationships, it is safer to expand them as much as possible. There will always be areas where the other person can help you in the future.

Seeing that Higashinoji and Matsumoto Jun finished talking, Aiko Kijo walked up and said, "The matter of the vertical banners has been settled, and now comes the carving aspect. Does Higashino-san need anything prepared by the student council?"

Jun Matsumoto, who had just finished speaking next to him, was stunned when he heard Aiko Kijo's words. Then he looked at Higashinoji: "Higashino-san, can you still carve?"

"You know a little bit." Higashino nodded and replied.

The corners of Jun Matsumoto's mouth twitched.

Looking at Higashinoji, he didn't know why he was so approachable.

If he were Higashinoji, how could he know so many things and still not be able to go to heaven? You probably look at people with your nose, so why would you be so polite to anyone?

After all, he is a young man, so it is okay to be a bit showy in things, but why would he be as indifferent as Higashinoji?

"Then I'll trouble you, Guild Leader. I'll give you a set of arc knives from large to small, as well as a hammer, a wood file, a wire saw, sandpaper for polishing wood carvings, and polishing wax. I'll trouble you, Guild Leader." Bought."

Higashinoji didn't know Jun Matsumoto's thoughts, and he didn't pretend to be pretentious with Aiko Kijo.

After all, he was here to help, so he couldn't be allowed to give out all his tools. This was unreasonable.

"Are you going to make wood carvings?" Kijo Aiko asked, writing down the tools Higashinoji needed.

"Well, half a month is only enough time to make wood carvings, preferably pine wood." Higashino replied.

Seeing Higashinoji's professional appearance, Kijo Aiko gave up the last trace of doubt and nodded thoughtfully.

The drama department actually has hammers, wooden files, jigsaws, and sandpaper for polishing. After all, the drama department produces props for performances all year round, so there is no shortage of these things.

As for arc knives, which are used to carve wood carving patterns and shapes, it is estimated that funds will be used to buy them.

As for pine wood, polishing wax for polishing the surface of wood carvings? It's not difficult to get this thing.

Muzhi Aiko's family runs a small furniture factory, and there is no shortage of this kind of wood and polishing materials.

She thought about it in her mind and then raised her head: "No problem, all these things should be ready tomorrow."

Aiko Kijo, the student council president, can really do this efficiently.

Higashino sighed inwardly, and then replied: "I understand, then please ask the student union to find an empty classroom for me, and I can start tomorrow."

"No problem." Kijo Aiko was very satisfied with Higashinoji's decisive attitude. After recording what the other party needed, she bowed seriously to Higashinoji: "Thank you very much, Mr. Higashino, for your help. I only represent the student union." Thank you all again for your help."

She said and bowed again with Asami Mamanaka beside her.

There is really nothing we can do about it. Higashinoji has helped so much that even she can't deny it.

No more, I don’t have a drop of it (Thanks to Nanfeng Chuanjing and Auto Pencil for the tip! Thank you very much!)
