This is another small work of mine that I found while cleaning the house. It is “deep love, to foster, to learn”. In short, symbols of parents’ love toward their children, I heard.

これも家の掃除をしていたら出てきた私の古い小品です。深い愛、育てる、学ぶ。つまり親の愛のことだそうです。

“People begin hearing distant rolls of thunder.” In fact, this is the last seasonal phrase for March. The drumstick you see on the left is a custom-made item of the famous drummer whose sad news of death was officially announced some time ago. I am now remembering it was almost 20 years ago that I picked it up thrown to the audience by the drummer himself at the end of a concert.

「遠雷が聞こえ始める」実はこれは３月最後の七十二候の名称です。左側に写っているのは、先ごろ訃報が報じられた有名なドラマーの特注品のスティックです。コンサートの最後に彼が客席に投げたのを拾ってきたのは、20年近くも前だったかと思います。

The other day, I went and enjoyed a film adaptation of a musical. It would be extremely hard to get its ticket in ordinary situation even if you belong to its fan club, however, as live performance on stage seems really hard to realize in these difficult days, they made it into a motion picture and so I could enjoy it to the fullest extent. Now I just wonder what is positive and what is negative.

先日、映画化されたミュージカルを楽しんで来ました。世の中が普通の状態だったらファンクラブに所属していてもチケットを取ることはまず出来ないらしいですが、このご時世ですので、劇場でのライブ上演が極めて難しいために、映画化されました。何がいいのか、悪いのか。

Cherry blossoms make me feel lonely. When they bloom and
when they fall, they make me feel lonely anyway.

桜は寂しい。咲いても、散っても桜は寂しい。

Songs of Japanese bush warblers seem to stand out among other birds these days. Here is another copying practice of my teacher’s work which I am sure expresses his mischievous side very well. This is a phonetic equivalence of a Japanese word for this bird. And I remember he loved this kind of game very much. We Japanese have a traditional belief in the spiritual power of words and here, it seemed he believed in that of each character and chose letters of positive, bright, auspicious attribute.

鶯の囀りが際立つように聞こえる頃となりました。そこで、これも先生の書の臨書なのですが、先生の茶目っ気が現れている当て字なので、これを取り上げてみました。先生はこのような遊びがお好きでした。言霊とよく言いますが、先生はそれぞれの字にも魂があると考えて、縁起のいい明るい感じがする字を選ばれたのだと思います。

The character is “tree”. It is a small piece of about 14 cm or 5 inches on a side. I hope someone would like it as a simple, little ornament on a kitchen wall, for instance.

The piece this photo shows was actually sold at an art marché in December last year and naturally it is not with me anymore. As I had a considerable feeling for this one myself, when I look at this picture, I have a kind of loneliness but at the same time, I feel VERY happy.

More than a year has passed since my mother left. The photo shows a panel of my pieces on various kinds of paper I wrote thinking of her.

This is a result of my copying practice of my teacher’s work, “dream”. The form looks somewhat similar to the original, however, it totally lacks the dynamism of the lines and the spirit he put into it.

先生が遺された書の臨書です。形は少し似ている気がしますが、線の力強さやそこに込められた気迫が全く足りません。

“Cherry blossoms begin to bloom.” The website I frequent to check seasonal phrases to post here says this phrase is allocated to a week-long period from tomorrow. However, the cherry blossoms this year seem to be hurrying.

「桜始開」ここに載せる七十二候を調べるためによく行くサイトによれば、この名称は明日からのもののようですが、今年は桜が早い気がします。
