祝🐍巳年 切り絵動画 ヤマタノオロチ  Happy New Year of Snake Recitation Film"Kojiki (Ancient Japanese Legends),Yamatano-orochi-The Eight-Headed Serpent"" 

  昨年末、突然、腰痛に見舞われた。慣れぬ庭作業で歩行困難に。起床時などは着替えさえ出来なかった。それが始まったのが、ちょうどこの朗読動画に着手した頃である。 「蛇(オロチ)が降りてきた!」  これは退治せねば、と、三週間の格闘と度重なる「書き出し失敗」の末、完成したのが正月二日だった。お陰で、現在はなんとか歩けるまでに痛みは緩和している。悠久の魂魄が息づく神話と対峙するのは容易でない。恐るべし「言霊」である。 At the end of last year, I was suddenly struck by lower back pain. Unfamiliar garden work left me unable to walk. At times, like when getting up in the morning, I couldn’t even get dressed. This all began right around the time I started working on this reading video. “The serpent (Orochi) has descended!” I thought, I must vanquish it. After three weeks of struggle and countless "export failures," I finally completed it on January 2nd. Thanks to that, the pain has now eased to the point where I can walk somehow. Facing myths where eternal spirits reside is no easy task. The power of "kotodama" (the spirit of words) is truly fearsome. 太鼓朗読 古事記「八俣の大蛇」 Taiko Recitation: Kojiki "Yamata no Orochi–The 8-Headed Serpent" JPN Read/ENG Subs

【分断と不満に挟まれ海(み)も渇き 〜Division in the U.S. Frustration in JP. Starvation in body.】

  22日(日本時間)、与党・民主党のカマラ・ハリス副大統領が、ジョン・バイデン大統領の後任として次期大統領選に臨むこととなった。共和党の候補は、先日、耳に銃弾を受けて九死に一生を得たトランプ前大統領。両党とも依然として非難の応酬である。

 日本はというと、今年初頭の震災からの復興が進まぬ能登半島を「ファースト」と考えているようにはとても思えぬ首相と政府。裏金問題解決(回避?)と戦争支援に躍起。梅雨明け後の猛暑で、我が心身も煮干状態。。。そんな心境の一句です。


 分断と

 不満に挟まれ

 海(み)も渇き

 



On the 22nd (Japan time), Vice President Kamala Harris of the Democratic Party was announced as the successor to President Joe Biden for the upcoming presidential election. On the Republican side, former President Donald Trump, who narrowly escaped death after being shot in the ear, remains their candidate. The exchange of accusations between the two parties continues unabated.


In Japan, the government and Prime Minister show little sign of prioritizing the recovery of the Noto Peninsula, which has struggled to rebuild since the earthquake earlier this year. Instead, they are preoccupied with resolving (or avoiding) the bribery scandal and supporting the war effort. Meanwhile, the intense heat following the end of the rainy season leaves my body and mind feeling dried out like anchovies. This haiku reflects my state of mind:


Division in the U.S.

Frustration in JP.

Starvation in body.
