ご支援くださった皆さん、そしてこのページを見てくださっている皆さん。ありがとうございます。実行委員の園田です。本日は1月31日、2月1日に別府の「the HELL」で行われたプレイベントの模様をお届け致します。All Photo by Sinpu Tokyo.今回のプレイベント（百歳の写真展）を企画したのには２つの理由がありました。１つ目は、おばあちゃんの写真を通じて、ご協力頂いた企業様、ご支援くださった方々へこれまでの「感謝」を伝えること。２つ目は、「141歳の写真展」が目指している温度感や空気感を伝えることでした。2日間での来場者数は当初目標にしていた100名を大幅に更新し、146名の方にご来場いただきました。こんなにも多くの方が今回のイベントに”期待”してくれていることに感動し、たくさんのエネルギーをもらいました。そして、このクラウドファンディングを絶対に成功させるという覚悟にもつながりました。東京神父さんはキングコングの西野さんが開催している「天才万博」や長野の渋温泉で行われている「音泉温楽」など多数のイベントを撮影しておりますが、常々「いいイベントは全ての世代が楽しめるイベントだ」と口にしています。僕らが開催する「141歳の写真展」も全ての世代の方が安心して楽しめるイベントを目指しています。そんな中で今回行われたプレイベントには様々な世代の方が遊びに来てくださいました。今回のイベントに足を運んで下さった方から「楽しみだね」「貴重な写真だね」「頑張ってるね」などの言葉を直接聞くことが出来ました。このイベントが心から歓迎されているなと改めて実感することが出来ました。WEBの中だけでは感じることができない「リアルな声」を頂けた事が何よりも嬉しく、励みになりました。老若男女、世代を問わず多くの方がこの街が持つ魅力を再発見、再確認し、より別府に住んでいることを誇りに思ってもらえるような企画にしていきたいと思います。最後にイベントにご来場くださった皆様に別府へのコメントを頂きました。今回の写真展は僕を含め、東京神父や実行委員の「別府への恩返し」という想いが詰まっています。是非別府に住む人や別府に遊びに来た人の笑顔を切り取った東京神父の写真を見ながら、この街の「人」の魅力を感じてみてください。当日イベントに参加してくださった方に「別府に一言」コメントを頂きました。次回はAPUの学生で実行委員の平末健人（イジゲン株式会社でインターン中）が撮影したイベントムービーをお届けします。残り一ヶ月を切りましたが、支援してくださった皆さんの気持ちに応えられるよう、全力で達成を目指して参ります。引き続き、応援のほどよろしくお願い致します。141歳の写真展プロデューサー　園田亮

Making a 100-year old dream come true! A grandmother and grandchild’s 141-year-old photo exhibition in BeppuThe “141-year-old photo exhibition” is an exhibition being held by a 100-year-old grandmother and her 41-year-old grandchild. The exhibition will be free to visit at TokiwaBeppu, Beppu City, Oita Prefecture, from Friday 27th March – Sunday 12th April 2020.Introduction ・ GreetingHey everyone, nice to meet you. My name is Sinpu Tokyo, I’m a photographer. I’m also a 41-year-old who loves hot springs, music, movies and photography. Thank you to all those who have looked at my page.One of the reasons I got into photography was my grandmother.My grandmother, who turned 100 in the first year of Reiwa (1stMay 2019 – present), started taking photographs as a hobby from the age of 61, and even today, when her back is okay, she photographs the flowers in her garden. I’m saying this as a relative, but I love the warmth of her photos. It is perhaps because I was able to see my grandmother taking photos that I am working as a photographer now myself.And so, I decided to hold a photo exhibition in Beppu in 2020 with my grandmother. We decided that the venue would be the Tokiwa department store in Beppu.“I would be so happy if I could have a photo exhibition at a department store”After hearing my grandmother say those words, I knew I wanted to help her fulfil her dream, so with a feeling of determination, I decided to go for it, and it has become a reality. The information ban was lifted on 4th November 2019, and preparations are steadily being made. This time, we have launched a project to collect expenses to help towards this photo exhibition.This photo exhibition will be held at the same time as the BeppuHatto Onsen Festival (1st April – 5th April 2020).The photo exhibition will be part of the scheduled events of the hot spring festival. The Beppu Hatto Onsen Festival and the Body, Health and Heart Association (in charge of the event to be held on 5th April) were sponsored by Beppu City, the Beppu City Board of Education, and the Beppu City Tourism Association. Without the cooperation of these people, the executive committee, and the people of Beppu, this event and exhibition could never have happened.We want to create an exciting atmosphere in Beppu and show the wonders of our city to the world. These are the feelings that are the basis of our photo exhibition. Inspiration ・ Hope“Photographs taken by someone who has lived for 100 years have worth and value”It was upon hearing these words, when I met the photographer Youzou Fujita in the spring of 2019, that I decided to hold a photo exhibition with my grandmother.This day was also the day of the wake of Ms. Mami Sato, who had helped us a great deal. After leaving Youzou and going to Ms. Sato’s wake with my mother and saw her face, a feeling swept through my heart. This thought was,“Oh. So people really can die”.It’s something that happens as a matter of course, but we usually spend our days ignoring it. We could die at any time, and death is a personal topic for everyone.Life never turns out exactly like we imagined, and so we shouldn’t miss a moment. I remember that on that day, for the first time, I really felt deep in my heart that I had so little time to spend with my grandmother.So I thought, could I repay her somehow now and give her this special present for her 100-year celebration? What inspired me was the DNA we shared as a grandmother and grandson who love photography, so I planned this photo exhibition to give my grandmother her time to shine.I suppose it may be a very different experience for those who come to the photo exhibition, who don’t necessarily have a connection with my grandmother. However, I hope that looking at her photographs may be a way to recall emotions buried in everyday life, as I did. I personally think these photographs will evoke various feelings because they were taken by my grandmother, who has lived in four different eras of history (Taisho, Showa, Heisei and Reiwa).“Macro of a Flower”Photographs of flowers that my grandmother has taken for many years using a film camera with a macro lens will be on display at the exhibition. We hope you enjoy these fresh and colourful images which have a different atmosphere to that of landscape photography, and which you wouldn’t normally think could have been taken by someone’s grandmother.“Wartime Photographs”We will also display wartime photographs which we found in a chest in my grandmother’s house. There are many photos that were not taken by my grandmother herself, but I will exhibit them as a part of her history.“Reversal (Transparent)I will be making a reversal film experience corner using film from photos taken by my grandmother.*A reversal film is a piece of film that allows you to see the colour and brightness of an image exactly as it was captured, as opposed to a negative film, which is inverted. It used to be a favourite of professional photographers in the past because of its high resolution, but now they are rarely seen.“Letter Person”For more details, please take a look at the website!

I am always learning from his bold colour photos and casual copies, they make excellent, creative ads.

I think this will be the last chance for people to see the photos my grandmother has taken.Thank you for reading my long explanation.

おばあちゃんをもっと知ってもらう為に活動報告ではおばあちゃんの生い立ちやおばあちゃんの撮った写真、祖母と孫のやりとりなど、色んな形でおばあちゃんを紹介していきます！おばあちゃんの歴史（生い立ち）おばあちゃんは今別府にある在宅医療サービス「愛音」さんに通っています。その愛音さんがおばあちゃんが100歳になった時のお祝いに簡単な生い立ちを作ってくれました。今日はそのスライドを皆様にお届けしたいと思います。僕からも、本当におめでとう。これからも長生きしてね。さて、次回はおばあちゃんが撮った写真を紹介します！

おばあちゃんをもっと知ってもらう為に活動報告ではおばあちゃんの生い立ちやおばあちゃんの撮った写真、祖母と孫のやりとりなど、色んな形でおばあちゃんを紹介していきます！おばあちゃんとランチ03（コラム）こたつに入ってランチしながら、色んな話を聞いてみた。「白菜とか大根とか炊いたら美味しいわなー」「お肉とかは食べるの？」「時々ね。甘いものとかお菓子を食べるかね」「へぇー、よく聞かれるでしょ？健康の秘訣はなんですかって？」「あんまりな、ご馳走は食べてないっち言うな。田舎育ちじゃけんな」「あはは、質素なものをバランスよくってことだよね」「野菜が好きやな。普通の味付けでな」「写真撮ってたことは長生きに関係してると思う？」「そうやなー。やっぱり体にも頭にもいいね。ずっと考え込んでパチっと撮るけんね。物忘れがないっちゅうのはね、写真をやってたおかげだって思う時もあるわ」近くで大きな声を出して聞こえるように話すと、おばあちゃんとは未だにしっかり会話が出来る。100歳のおばあちゃんと今でもこうやって会話出来ることは本当に有難いことだと思う。海苔を巻く音や汁をすする音や箸が食器に当たる音。きっとこういう小さな音はおばあちゃんには聞こえていないだろう。でも、おばあちゃんの行動一つ一つに音があり、生きているということを伝えてくる。その音を感じられることが幸せだなんて、あまり考えたことがなかった。「あんた、それ醤油がないやろ」「大丈夫だよ、おばあちゃんは？醤油持ってこようか？」そう言うと、おばあちゃんはキンピラの出汁を漬物にかけてくれた。「これに味がついちょんけん、美味しかろう」おばあちゃんは僕が食べている姿もしっかり見ているし、若い僕が動くことにすら気をつかってくれる。なんだか、自分がおじいちゃんになった気分だ。「おばあちゃんは最近はギターは弾かないの？」「もう、写真撮るのもやっとやけんねー」「俺はよくライブの写真撮ったりするけど、音楽は良いよね」「そんなのも撮影しちょんのかえ。はぁー。元ちゃんも本当にカメラマンしよんのやねー。でも、音は写真に撮れんやろう」確かにおばあちゃんの言うように音は写真には映らない。でも、その音を感じさせるような、空間の熱を伝えられるような、そんな写真は撮れる。「そうだね。でも音は映らなくても、音を想像してもらうことは出来るよね」「写真は何を撮ってもそうかもしれんね」100歳になってもこういう感覚を持っている本当に自慢のおばあちゃん。一緒に写真展をやれることに感謝の気持ちを持って、おばあちゃんの写真も自分の写真もしっかりと選んでいこう。そんなことを改めて思ったおばあちゃんとのランチだった。「141歳の写真展」は僕とおばあちゃんの自分ごとではあるけれど、写真展に来て下さる皆さんが少しでも自分の「家族」のことを考えるきっかけになればと思うし、僕やおばあちゃんの力というよりも「写真」にはそういう力があるんじゃないかと思う。さて、次回はおばあちゃんの生い立ちをご紹介します。
