<西馬音内盆踊りへ 3首 / Three pieces of Tanka for Nishimonai Bon Odori> 2021年8月、西馬音内盆踊りはコロナ禍のために無観客で開催されました。この踊りのファンとしては残念なかぎりでした。しかし、嬉しいことがありました。今夏開催された東京五輪の閉会式で優美な西馬音内盆踊りの映像が世界に向けて放映されたのです。 西馬音内盆踊りは、秋田県羽後町西馬音内にておよそ750年間踊り継がれたきた盆踊りで、国の重要無形民俗文化財に指定されています。同盆踊りへ思いを込めて三首。写真は、旧年中に撮ったものです。 In August 2021, the Nishimonai Bon Odori (Nishimonai Bon Dance) was held without spectators due to the Covid 19 disaster. As a fan of this dance, I felt deeply sorry that I could not see it. However, I was pleased that the beauteous Nishimonai Bon Odori was aired to the world via video at the Final Ceremony of the Tokyo Olympics held this summer. The Nishimonai Bon Odori has been danced for about 750 years in Nishimonai, Ugo-machi, Akita, and is designated as National Important Intangible Folk Cultural Property of Japan. This month, I start with three pieces of tanka for Nishimonai Bon Odori. The photographs were taken in the past few years.

朝風はミントをぬりし肌に触る届きし歌もミントの語あり
a morning breeze
touches my minted skin
also
a poem I received from you has
a word “mint”

晴れやかに森を抜けゐし君のゑみ青くきやかな露草に見む
your radiant smiles
after going through
the forest life …
I see them in the dayflower
in azure

ほろほろと朝露こぼす紅の萩 望月かくれ逢瀬遂げずか
one by one
crystal drops spilling over
a pink bush clover …
was it due to the hidden full moon
and the prevented dating?

真葛原 つたひて咲かす縁の花にほひたつかな残暑の雨後に
a kudzu field…
fragrant flowers of bonds
blooming
along with the vines
after lingering summer rain

玻璃の窓越し見る森は晶晶と光ながれて時をとめおく
in the forest seen
through the crystal window
sparkling light
flows and holds time
in place

真っ直ぐに冴えの閃光おりきたる秋冷に稲穂かをる朝
a straight line…
a flash of clarity comes down
in the morning
with fragrant ripening rice
in the cool autumn air
10
ロジックの木を訂正す……事象の雲塊はしる視点の転換
I correct
the logic tree …
a switch
of the viewpoint that runs
through the cloud mass of events
