Kimiko Nishimoto: The mudslide in the Internet celebrity world is for you who have no hobbies at all

Every time I introduce myself and talk about personal hobbies, I often feel a little embarrassed. Of course, if watching movies and sleeping also count. . . Then I'm embarrassed to say it

Yuan Hongdao, a Ming Dynasty scholar, said: "I look at the people in the world who have tasteless language and hateful faces, and they all have no taste for human ears." Remember, the last person warned us about the hateful faces. , Huang Shangu, a poet of the Song Dynasty, said: "If you don't read for three days, you will feel that the language is tasteless and the face is hateful."

What if the face is hateful? That's not necessarily the case, it's just that you don't like it and others don't love it either. Zhang Dai put it clearly in "Tao'an Mengmei": "You can't make friends with people who don't have addictions, because they don't have deep affection. You can't make friends with people who don't have addictions, because they don't have true energy."

A person If you don’t have hobbies, you can imagine the tastelessness and the unkindness.

But some people are always on the road just because they have hobbies, and they have never been abandoned by time.

Yes, she is a new mudslide in the world of Japanese Internet celebrities.

89-year-old Kimiko Nishimoto? ——Age has no harm to romance, and sticking to your hobbies is enough to make you radiant.

She held a photography exhibition in Shinjuku, Japan last year. She started learning photography at the age of 72, and learned Mac post-production software at the age of 74. Kimiko has so many interesting things to say in her life.

Her daily style is like this

1. She has had curiosity since she was young

Grandma Nishimoto’s life is full of love "Tossing", she was born in Brazil and returned to Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan at the age of 8. She studied cosmetology when she was young, and later naturally opened her own beauty salon.

Do you think she can just work in a beauty salon? That would be looking down on her

While she was running her own beauty salon, her brother became a cyclist. She watched her brother compete and was eager to give it a try! So, she later made a decision—not to work in a beauty salon! I want to be a cyclist! Then she became like this.

Kimiko really did it. She participated in many professional competitions and got an A-level certificate. Until the age of 27, she married Nishi Honsai, a local civil servant.

After marrying her husband, she retired from cycling and gave birth to three children. The following years of married life were very happy, but she still maintained a heart that was brave enough to try new things, and her curiosity made her happy every day.

2. It was too late to meet the camera, and it was out of control from then on

When she was 72 years old, she came into contact with a camera for the first time in her life. After getting it, she found that This thing is so fun!

Since then, I have been inseparable from the camera, and have formed an indissoluble bond with photography.

Her husband loves photography. Kimiko said that the first camera was a Nikon F100 given by her husband Nishimotosai, which was very heavy. She still remembers mentioning to her husband that she wanted to learn photography. He rolled his eyes at her, but he didn't expect Kimiko to be serious about it.

The second time my husband gave me a Nikon F80, it was a little lighter. I added some lenses to the tripod, but it was actually heavier than before. But Kimiko is still very happy. After getting the camera, the old lady started to go out with her friends to practice, traveling to various places to take pictures.

3. The same hobbies make her family more harmonious

When she first started learning photography, she said she could not even understand what her husband was saying. So I said forget it, as long as I press the button, the photo will appear. Just shoot randomly at first, and you will learn it one day. Even though her waist is not good, she still enjoys it, and her husband often says: "You are just a three-legged cat..."

The two old people started taking photos together, and they made a lot of progress in life. Big changes, there are many languages ??to communicate. They also set up a photo studio at home and took photos together. For them, this was a romantic life.

4. Because of her curiosity about the world, she kept learning

She specialized in still life photography. Then two years later, she learned to use a computer and started to learn digital art. . She has a very strong curiosity to learn new technologies, so she gradually got started with various digital supplies. Later, in addition to shooting, she also used computers for post-production and even painting software. She even built her own website.

Grandma also worked with her husband to transform her home into a studio. Kimiko Nishimoto said: "In the process of taking pictures, life is 100 times happier than before."

5. Age has never been a problem for her

Her son is also a master who loves photography. But when she joined her son's photography class, Kimiko was already 72 years old. She was worried that an old lady like herself would cause trouble to her classmates, so she kept studying very hard. Because of her studies, her imagination has become wider, and she can add fun ideas to it. For her, age has never been an issue.

Kimiko said before that she was just taking random photos, but later she thought about taking more interesting photos. She said that although the photos were not very good, "I was very happy when I saw the particularly interesting photos." Sometimes, others will criticize her photos, but Kimiko doesn't mind. She always says that she doesn't imitate others. She takes a photo with a learning attitude, so the fun is yet to come.

6. She is a mudslide, yet chic and spectacular

Kimiko’s first exhibition in Kumamoto Prefecture was complained about elder abuse because the photos were so realistic. . From then on, Kimiko had to explain anxiously every time that these were all selfies taken by me. Later, when I visited the art school’s exhibition every year, many people wanted to buy Kimiko’s photos.

Kimiko Nishimoto’s works have won awards at the Kumamoto Prefecture Art Exhibition for four consecutive years. She also won the Female Photographer Award at the 2007 "Tokyo Photo Month".

Every time there is an exhibition, there will be people who want to spend money to buy her photos, but the old lady herself says that "these photos are not good enough to sell" and gives them to people who like them for free. As long as you like her, she will be happy enough.

Compared with those so-called artists who readily sell their works, perhaps the old lady’s sincerity, frankness and personality, as well as her heartfelt love for photography and her persistence in a cheerful, optimistic, fun and humorous attitude towards life are the most important. It's a place that really touches people's hearts.

7. Her work is her attitude

On July 19, 2016, 88-year-old Kimiko Nishimoto published her first photography collection "Not a Person" "People" is a collection of her famous selfies, short poems written in Kumamoto dialect, and fantasy digital photography. As soon as it was released, it received continued love from netizens.

In a TV interview, the old lady said: As long as I live, I will continue to take pictures! It doesn't matter if I get laughed at, I just want to take some fun and happy photos.

She has never forgotten the stubborn self that lives deep in her heart. She just tosses about happily and willfully, insisting on what she believes in her life. Never forget to convey happiness and courage to the people around you all the time. Age is just a number in her heart, nothing more

His own son also said that the most precious thing he learned from his mother is to never lose anything no matter what you do. The courage to try new things, stick to what you truly believe in your heart, and never give up.

I think of Franklin’s wise saying:

Some people die at the age of 25 and are not buried until they are 75. Did we live for 365 days, or did we live for 1 day, repeated 364 times?

I extended it to the matter of hobbies, and I asked myself, do you really have no hobbies? Have you really lost your curiosity about the world?

My answer is no, I just didn’t do it, so I blocked all exits and possibilities with laziness.

But when I read about this 89-year-old grandma who is still struggling and creating all the romantic possibilities in life, I feel that I cannot be that 20-year-old woman. As a person who "died" at the age of 18, I still have enthusiasm and curiosity about this world.

Just share her story to every "you who don't have any quirks".

May I always be young, always have tears in my eyes, and always remain curious about the world.
