ミネルヴァの知は冴えたるか深秋の彩り統べる黒き梟

 

Minerva’s wisdom

must be clearer…

Dark Owl

integrating the colours

in deep autumn

<宮沢賢治の里行/ Drive to Miyazawa Kenji home town>  12 November 2020

 

私は先日、宮沢賢治の里、岩手県花巻市にある宮沢賢治童話村とイーハトーブまでドライブしてきました。宮沢賢治は日本を代表する天才詩人であり作家です。童話作家と紹介されていますが、その作品には仏教とキリスト教を主とした彼の深い信仰と思想が籠められています。詩であれ童話であれ、読むたびに、私は彼の澄んだ心の深さと優しさに心を打たれています。今回の投稿は、宮沢賢治童話村とイーハトーブを訪ねて詠った10首を投稿致します。尚、彼についてのより多くの説明はWikipediaにリンクさせて頂きました。

 

宮沢賢治について

The other day in the early of November, I drove to Miyazawa Kenji Fairy Tale Village and Ihatove in his hometown Hanamaki City, Iwate. A word, Ihatove means Utopia used by Kenji.  Miyazawa Kenji (1896-1933) was a genius, and one of the leading Japanese poets and novelist/ fairy tale writer. His works contain his profound belief and thoughts, mainly Buddhism and Christianity.  Every time I read his poetry and fairy tales, I am touched by depth and tenderness from his clear spirit. In this entry, I dedicate 10 pieces of tanka, which I composed on Fairy Tale Village and Ihatov, to Miyazawa Kenji.

 

I linked Wikipedia for more information about him.

生満つる妖精の森は秋ふかく賢治の薔薇はなほもまばゆし

 

Fairy Forest

full of life deepens

fall spirit…

学ぶことおほき展示に見入りたり天地交はる賢治の教室

 

having a lot to learn…

I fix my eyes upon

displays

at Kenji’s classroom with

the universe crossing the earth

星に石 鳥獣に虫　植物等つぶさに学び知を得たるかな

 

stars, stones, plants,

birds, animals and insects…

I read

more carefully than ever

and gain knowledge

石っこ賢さんのごとく石を好き瑠璃をくれたる友をしのひぬ

 

like Ishikko Ken San

my last friend loved stones

and gave

me lapis lazuli…

I think of him

 

※Kenji loved stones very much, so he was called “Isshiko Ken San.”. 

Ishi means stone. Isshiko is a dialect of Tohoku/ North-East Japan.

残余なく地に生き高く飛翔せし よだかの本念 星に成就す
