武道へのあこがれは、少年時代に父が宮本武蔵の晩年の自画像と『五輪書』を見せてくれたことから生じた。そして、中学生の頃、隣県の岩手の片田舎から柔道の名人「三船十段出現」という新聞記事を見て、武道を志すことを誓った。三船久蔵十段は「柔道の神様」とあがめられていた。
昭和33（1958）年春、中学を終えて上京、苦学の中、東京倫武館本部の道場に入門、修行に励み、13年後に師範代に昇格。その後、武道全般について学んだ。

Dear Hiruta-san, I am glad you are well. And it is good to hear that your haiku society is thriving. Well done!
We are all well here – and enjoying the beautiful English summer sunshine!
Actually, the last time we were all together as a family was at Easter in April and at that time, we all wrote a family haiku! The one that I wrote is about Jesus being resurrected from the dead – and it is follows:
An army of trees
Through the woods, we catch the sun
He is risen indeed!
Not very professional – but it is my offering to your group!
With best wishes,
Mark

Haiku friend, Mr. Vasile Moldovan, presented me a haiku collection “Radu Șerban AMBASSADORIAL HAIKU”
Radu Șerban
AMBASSADORIAL HAIKU
The title of this booklet is not inspired by the author’s official title as Ambassador in Tokyo. Rather, by the haiku’s ability to be a cultural Ambassador of Japan to the world.

芭蕉の夢
Basho’s Dream
旅に病んで夢は枯野をかけ廻る
Sick on a journey
my dream wanders
the withered fields
This is Basho’s last haiku written while he was dying of a stomach illness. Basho fell sick in the middle of July, 1693. Basho is said to have been attending haiku gatherings even while he was sick and poor in health. He wrote the haiku above on October 9, 1694, and then, he passed away on October 12. It seems that Basho’s dream was to write and share haiku with haikuists and to teach them how to live by living as long as possible.
この句は胃の病気で芭蕉が死に臨んでいた際に詠まれた最後の句である。元禄6（1693）年7月半ばに芭蕉は体調を崩したが、体調が悪いときでも句会には出席し続けたと言われている。芭蕉は元禄7（1694）年10月9日に掲句を詠み、10月12日に逝去。句中の芭蕉の夢は同門の俳人と共に句を詠み、分かち合うことと可能な限り生き抜くことによって門人に生き方を教えることであったと思われる。
Basho must have thought that haiku connects people in the most wonderful way he can think of. Djurdja Vukelic-Rozic, my haiku friend in Croatia, refers to Basho’s thoughts, saying in her e-mail, “With haiku we feel part of the world, coming from small countries, we live haiku like equal partners on this Haiku Planet, and haiku connects us with not only wonderful Japan and its tradition and culture, but many other nations and languages. I’m certainly richer person with haiku poetry and it has become a part of my life.” This is why Djurdja sincerely hopes that haiku will soon be on the UNESCO’s List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
芭蕉は俳句が人々を結ぶ方法の中で考えつくことのできる最も素晴らしいものであると考えていたにちがいない。クロアチアの句友であるジュルジャ・ヴーケリッチ＝ロジッチさんはメールの中で芭蕉の考えに触れて次のように述べている。
「私たちは小さい国の出身ですが俳句と共に世界の一部であると感じています。私たちはこの俳句という惑星、つまり、「俳星」で平等の仲間のように俳句を楽しみ、俳句によって私たちは素晴らしい日本とその伝統や文化と結ばれ、また他の多くの国々や言語とも結ばれています。私が俳句という詩と共により豊かな人間になっていることは確かなことです、そして俳句は私の生活の一部になっております」と。このようなわけでジュルジャさんは俳句がユネスコ無形文化遺産に登録されることを心から期待しています。
Djurdja says in another e-mail as follows.
Editing, translating haiku and being in contact with haiku poets in Croatia and abroad, I feel joy for belonging to a flock of poets that write haiku throughout the World. By means of correspondence and exchanging haiku poems, I meet beauty and different ways of life, cultural and traditional values and beauties of many countries and especially, Japan.
ジュルジャさんはもう一通のメールで次のように述べている。
「私は俳句を編集し、翻訳しながらクロアチアや外国の詩人と接し、世界中の俳句を作る詩人社会に所属しているという喜びを感じています。メールや手紙を通じて俳句詩を交換することによって、私は美しさと様々な生き方、多くの国々、特に日本の文化的、伝統的な価値観と美しさに出会います」と。
Haiku teaches us to find and open the door to our own inner world. As thought by great Japanese haiku masters throughout centuries, through haiku we learn to connect with Nature! As Westerners, haiku helps us understand that a modest way of life in sincerity, empathy and simplicity, far away from hunger for enormous and unnecessary material riches and unjustified power of selfish individuals, may bring far more riches to us.
「俳句によって私たちは自分自身の内面の世界を見つけて、門戸を開くようにと教えられます。幾世紀にも渡って偉大なる日本の俳聖の方々によって考えられたように、私たちは俳句を通じて自然とつながりを持つことを習得します！ 西洋人として、俳句のお蔭で、誠実、共感、そして簡素のもとでの質素な生き方は、莫大な物質的な豊かさや利己的な個人の不当な権力への渇望からは遠く離れていますが、私たちにより多くの豊かさをもたらしてくれることを理解しています」と。
Haiku may, just like any other benevolent tradition, literature, artistic and cultural work help in understanding and cooperation on all questions of today’s world and thus, not only help towards building the World Peace, but preserving the life on our Planet, with the haiku way of living.
In these points above, Basho is a prophet and savior, I think. This is because Basho’s dream was that haiku spreads further and further in order to connect people worldwide as well as throughout Japan, I trust.
「俳句は、いかなる他の慈悲深い伝統、文学、芸術的で文化的な作品とまさに同じように、今日のあらゆる世界の問題に関する理解と協力の助けになるかもしれません。またこのようにして、俳句は世界平和の樹立に向けて助けになるだけでなく、俳句的な生き方を実践することによって我らの惑星での生命を維持する方向に向けての助けになるかもしません」と。
以上のような点において、芭蕉は予言者であり、救世主であると思う。これは、日本だけでなく世界中の人々を結ぶために俳句が一層広まることが芭蕉の夢であったと確信するからである。
