注目
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...

Kamikaze Toasts
bY POETAQ
except for the haiku 'How pitifully' by Matsuo Basho
How pitifully
Beneath the warrior’s helm
A cricket’s weeping
—Basho,1689
Divine wind blew strong
In thirteenth century’s storm
Mongol’s fate undone
Time passes still cruel
World War II’s fierce battles
Kamikaze’s fall
Now divine drones soar
Unmanned weapons claim human tolls
Civilization?
Lending foes & friends
To merchants, death & interest
Same amusement, ends?
Sirs in the salon
Satanic saints raise their toasts
“Voulez-vous Encore?”(“Would you like more?”)
