【二百年前の強き日本で候】本日２月18日「異国船打払令」発令日（文政八年　1825年）／What Guts! “The Edict to Repel Foreign Ships”（1825)

　ちょうど二百年前の今日、1825年の２月18日、 文政の「異国船打払令」、いわゆる「無二念打払令」が発令された。 その強きな姿勢に、初めて正式文書を読んだ私はいささか驚いたと同時に、逞しさを覚えた。 現代日本と「何たる違いだ！」と。 　尤も、この後から情勢は急変、開国へと向かうわけだが、「いうべきことは言う」といった当時の幕府のポリシーと心意気が頼もしくうかがえる。まさに、武士道である。 　ああ、しかし、今やそれも遠い過去となってしまったのか。。。 　一縷の希望？を託したシャッフル・ビート（朗読）をお楽しみください。 Exactly two hundred years ago today, on February 18, 1825, the Edict to Repel Foreign Ships, also known as the No-Second-Thoughts Repel Order, was issued during the Bunsei era. When I read the official document for the first time, I was both surprised by its resolute stance and impressed by its boldness. I couldn’t help but think, "How different this is from Japan today!" Of course, the situation changed rapidly after this, eventually leading to the opening of the country. However, the shogunate’s policy and spirit at that time — one of “saying what must be said” — left me feeling reassured and inspired. This was truly the essence of Bushido. And yet... has all of that become nothing more than a distant memory? Please...

誤字熟語

【詐月晴れ】(さつきばれ)


気象機関が国民の関心を惹こうとして、九州南部を除くと時期尚早に思える梅雨入りを、皐月(さつき)・五月にしては稀な雨続きにかこつけて発表するも、それをあざ笑うかのように熱中症で実際に命を落とす者まで現れるほどの好天が戻ってきて、せっかくのご自慢のサプライズ宣言を撤回させることとなる、なんとも皮肉な晴れ間。


(一句)

「撤回」や予報・議員の常套句

Typo Tropes

“May-lie sun”

In an attempt to attract the public's attention, the meteorological service announced that the rainy season had begun, which seemed premature except in southern Kyushu, on the back of a rare rainy spell in Satsuki or May, but as if to mock the announcement, the weather returned so fine that some people actually died of heat stroke, forcing them to retract the surprise declaration they had been so proud of. It's indeed an ironic break in the weather.　


Recall declared,

Forecasts, politicians' diction,

May's sun deceives.
