〜My tanka 初めの一歩〜

This is my own tanka I wrote when I was busy looking after my late mother.  When I was looking at this piece, I decided to hold the Mother-Daughter exhibition held a while ago.

Mother and daughter with such a deep fate/

Deep enough even to be bored/

Spring breeze laughs at the two/

Laughing and going/

〜Long tradition of bath with yuzu fruits 頂きもの〜

Yet again, kind neighbors gave me some yuzu citrus fruits from the tree in their garden. Now I am looking forward to enjoying the bath on the night of the winter solstice.  Tanka here is my favorite among all my own haikus and tankas.

If you have a favorite character or phrase that you would like me to write, please let me know by sending it (them) to my address, chio_art@yushokai.com

またもご近所さんからお庭の木の柚子の実を頂きました。冬至の夜のお風呂が楽しみです。短歌は自作の俳句や短歌の中で私が最も気に入っているものです。

.

さて、私の書で見てみたいと思われるお好きな字や、言葉などがありましたら、chio_art@yushokai.com宛にお教えください。

〜Book of poems  文人とは〜

My first calligraphy teacher was a kind of person called 文人, that is, someone who enjoys elegance and good taste; and is good at artistic hobbies like calligraphy and painting.  And like many other of this kind of people, he loved writing traditional kind of poems and published a book of his poetry collection.  Looking into this book for materials of my calligraphy, I only ended up practicing to copy his calligraphy on the cover of the book.

.

書の師は文人と呼ばれる人でした。書も画もこなし、風雅の道に心をよせている、というような。短歌の作歌もお好きだったようで、短歌集を出版されています。その中から選んで書きたいと思ってみてみましたが、選びきれず、結局その本の表紙の先生の字を臨書してみただけでした。
