彫刻家の向山武志さんに会いに藤沢市民ギャラリーへ行ってきました。藤沢市展で審査員を務めています。乾漆彫刻に長年取り組んでいる向山さん。この作品は亡き愛猫の五郎君。音楽好きでもある彼は私が率いるチームナコスのギタリストでした。ギャラリーコンサートや高齢者施設で何度も一緒に演奏をしました。最近では山歩きを楽しんでいるようです。また何か芸術的な活動でご一緒できる楽しい機会があれば素敵ですね。（美智子）

I visited the Fujisawa Civic Art Gallery to see the sculptor Takeshi Mukoyama, who is serving as a judge for the Fujisawa City Exhibition. Mukoyama-san has long dedicated himself to the art of dry-lacquer sculpture; the piece shown here depicts Goro, his beloved cat who has passed away. He is also a music lover and served as a guitarist for Team NACOS, the group I lead. We performed together many times at gallery concerts and facilities for the elderly. Lately, it seems he has been enjoying hiking. It would be wonderful to have another fun opportunity to work together on something artistic. (Michiko)
