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。

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

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.

snow fluttering down

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.
