第７３回埼玉県芸術文化祭２０２５（県展）で本校荻野大輔教諭が県知事賞、本校生徒が高校生奨励賞を受賞致しました　At the 73rd Saitama Prefecture Arts and Culture Festival 2025 , our school's teacher Daisuke Ogino received the Governor's Award, and our students received the High School Student Encouragement Award.

　６月１５日（日）、今日は北浦和の県立近代美術館へ。目的は、本校書道の荻野先生の県知事賞受賞作品を拝見させていただくことです。県立近代美術館は北浦和駅前の北浦和公園内にあります。この時期はＢ１Fから３Fまでの３フロアを利用し、埼玉県芸術文化祭（県展）が開催されており、６部編成の第５部「書」の展示は２Fにありました。

　階段を上り、２F展示室に行くと、展示室の正面に荻野先生の作品「藤」の展示がありました。紀貫之の新古今和歌集収録の和歌「緑なる松に懸れる藤なれど　己が頃とぞ花は咲きける」を２色の料紙に認められていました。松の緑と藤の花の紫、料紙の赤と白の色彩感覚の面白さ、墨の濃淡、筆遣い、線の美しさ等、色々な鑑賞の観点はあるかと思いますが、大変興味深く拝見させていただきました。また本校生徒も高校生奨励賞を受賞し、土曜日の表彰式で表彰して頂きました。先生、生徒の日頃の努力が結実し、本当に有難い限りです。

　荻野先生は作家性だけでなく、タブレットを活用した書道の実技指導の改善等、授業手法についても素晴らしく、大変優秀な教科指導者であると思っております。荻野先生、この度の県知事賞、ご受賞おめでとうございます。今後とも引き続き、本校生徒の豊かな学習活動の実現にご協力ください。

Sunday, June 15 – Today, I visited the Prefectural Museum of Modern Art in Kita-Urawa. The purpose was to view the work of our calligraphy teacher, Mr. Ogino, which received the Governor's Award. The Prefectural Museum of Modern Art is located inside Kita-Urawa Park in front of Kita-Urawa Station. At this time of year, the museum uses three floors from B1F to 3F for the Saitama Art and Culture Festival (Prefectural Exhibition), and the fifth section, "Calligraphy," was displayed on the 2nd floor.

As I went up the stairs to the exhibition room on the 2nd floor, Mr. Ogino’s work "Wisteria" was displayed prominently at the front. It featured a waka poem from Ki no Tsurayuki’s "Shin Kokin Wakashū": "Though wisteria hangs on the green pine, its flowers bloom in their own season," written on two-colored paper. The interesting interplay of colors—the green of the pine, the purple of the wisteria, and the red and white of the paper—along with the richness of ink, the brushwork, and the beauty of the lines offered various perspectives for appreciation, making it a very fascinating piece to observe. Additionally, one of our students received the High School Encouragement Award, which was presented at the awards ceremony on Saturday. It is truly gratifying that the efforts of both the teacher and the students have come to fruition.

Mr. Ogino excels not only in artistry but also in teaching methods, such as improving calligraphy instruction using tablets. I believe he is an excellent educational instructor. Congratulations to Mr. Ogino on receiving the Governor's Award. We hope you will continue to contribute to enriching the learning activities of our students.
