Spring Rain

Birds sing and the valley cries
A vaguely blurry peach dream
Grasses get wet after the rain

鳥が囀り谷が鳴く
ぼんやりとした桃の夢
雨立ち上り草濡れる

Feels like quite long time has passed
Walking down the street while looking up the moon in the cold air
Another year has passed by

とてつもなく長い時がたった気がする
道を歩きながら寒空に浮かぶ月を見上げる
またもう一年

スタジオ・ジブリ”となりのトトロ”に出てくるお母さんが入院してる病院のモデルがすぐ近くにある。狭山丘陵の一部、斜面に沿った雑木林、住宅地の中でもあるので緑地から出るとずっと住宅地が広がっているような環境。ベースにずっとザーっとなているのは風が木々や丘陵の斜面を吹き抜けていく音。次にサラサラなっているのは木々の葉が擦れる音。たまに風が強くなるとカラカラ乾いた音がするけどおそらく枝同士がぶつかる音。鳥の鳴き声（ウグイスなど）。自然の音が詩的な響きをもって移り変わり、武蔵野の詩、音風景が静かに浮かびあがる。

Winter Dawn - 雪路  [naviarhaiku474]

Omiya, Saitama City, (JP)
28/01/2024, 11:30 a.m.

A cold winter sunday morning, opening the window of our home studio in the city of Omiya, Japan. We can see our balcony terrace, Japanese pine tree in the garden and the music room of the city’s high school just next to our place.

We don't know how long this tradition has been going on, the sounds of high school brass bands echo through the street everyday and accompany some moments of our daily life in this neighborhood for around 60 years at least. The sounds of brass celebrate our ordinary life and add some pinch of dramatic or cinematic senses in our daily life.

アートスペース研究の一環で仲町の家に遊びにいきました。朝１０時の待ち合わせまで少し時間がありましたので、ちょうど入口前にあった仲町氷川神社ですこし休憩。池の水音、朝の街音、電車の音等が聞こえます。東京下町の朝のしっとりとした雰囲気に聴き入ります。

TOKENアートセンター高村さんにお話を聞きに曳舟まで行きました。駅東口の上海楼で昼食を食べみんなと別れた後、腹ごなしも兼ねて少し街を歩くことにしました。もう一つのアートスポットの方面に向かって歩いているはずが反対方向にあるいていました。ちょうど町内で行われていたお祭りに遭遇しました。東京下町のお祭りは５月－６月にと少し早めの開催です。むかし、八丁堀にアトリエのあった大学の先生から話があり、町内の水掛け祭り神輿を担いだ若き日の街の匂いを思い出しました。

Winter Moon - 冬月 [naviarhaiku578]

quiescence!
touching not the blossoms,
temple bell's voice

by: Fuhaku
Kawakami Fuhaku was a tea master and the founder of the Edosenke, a school of tea ceremony. He was also an accomplished haiku poet.

Touching Not  - 時鐘 [naviarhaiku580]

A sweet side of coldest morning ...
Not everything is frozen yet
Here i come here we come

plunging my hand
into the lake...
billowing clouds

Among the four great masters of Japanese Haiku, Kobayashi Issa (1763-1828) was the most prolific: during his lifetime he wrote over 20,000 Haiku, hundreds of tanka, and several Haibun.

Ōshima Ryōta was a Japanese poet of the Edo period. Some sources say he was a disciple of Yosa Buson, while others say his master was Hattori Ransetsu. He's mostly remembered for his essay “Bashō ku kai” 芭蕉句解 ('Study of Bashō's haiku') published in 1759, a magnum opus of his studies and literary theories on Matsuo Bashō's work.

morning light 晨光 [naviarhaiku583]

heaven and earth:
neither exists apart from
snow fluttering down

ひらひらと雪
そしてなんにもない
天と地と

it was snowing this morning 
everything white everywhere smile
nowhere sounds

Kajiwara Hashin was born in 1864 and studied under Kyoshi. Although Hashin is not very well-known as a poet, this particular haiku that he wrote is quite popular worldwide: it was first translated by Miyamori Asataro and later by R. H. Blyth.

Full Album is OUT now!! 

https://lontanoseries.bandcamp.com/album/time-space-existence

Cat.#: LONTANO-S-CD68 / LONTANO-S-CD68 (JP) 
Release date: 19/12/2025 
Format: CD, Digital 

The time that flows here remains constant even though the space has changed with the time passing by. This project explores the time and existence of the imaginary space associated with the sounds and melodies. 

The project highlights the sounds and melodies placed between the boundary of nature and human-made, fragments of the natural - cultural aspects and takes a deconstructive approach to explore the time and space through the soundscape. 

The sounds and melodies are inspired by traditional folk tales and children's songs, which draw the people’s ordinary life and scenery of where we belong, or the aspirations and wisdom of the people in the place for a long time, and which have been passed down orally for hundreds of years. 

The simple yet distanced dreamscape is connected to the memory of our land through its traces of melodies and now recalling our memory and the scenery no one remembers yet certain existed here in this place once. 
The memory of the place is now connected and interpreted to the new existence which is handed over the next hundreds of years. 

時間・空間・存在 
空間は時の流れとともに変化しているにもかかわらず、ここに流れる時間は一定のままです。このプロジェクトは、音やメロディーにまつわる想像上の場所、時間と存在について探求しています。 
このプロジェクトでは、自然と人工の境界に位置する音と芸術、文化的な側面の断片に光を当て、サウンドスケープを通して時間と場所を探求する脱構築的なアプローチをとります。 
音と旋律は、伝統的な民話や童謡にインスピレーションを得ていて、それらは、町や村のありふれた日常の生活や風景であったり、あるいは人々の願いやその土地にまつわる寓話のようなものを描いているものもあります。それらが何百年も口承で伝えられてきたもの、それが元になっています。 

シンプルでありながらどこか遠く離れたドリームスケープは、旋律の痕跡を通して私たちの土地の記憶と繋がり、誰も覚えていないけれど、かつてこの場所に確かに存在していた風景と記憶を呼び起こします。 
かつての土地の記憶は今、次の数百年にわたって受け継がれる新たな存在へと結びつき、再解釈し続けられます。
