Change of epoch

Tue, 23 Jul 2019 21:06:36 +0900

There was a certain dormitory near my house. It seemed having a long history locating itself. It was a two-storied building.
Cars went in and out in a narrow entrance gate.
I sometimes saw a woman who was cleaning a gate and a garden site.
In Autumn lots of figs were full of on the tree but no one tried to pick them off at all.
I thought “oh, it is wasteful.”
From winter to spring, it didn’t take care of yard fully, but sasanqua’s beautiful red petals were wonderful.
I don’t know the name of those flowers that color are purple and yellow flowers, which told me the change of the seasons.
Soon or later the dormitory became quiet and no sign of persons.
One day the dormitory abruptly was covered with blue vinyl seats.
I wonder repair works will be start from now.

Before long demolition begun. Men of housebreaker were peel off roof carefully.
And floors and walls were taken off too.
At last ground became vacant.
One day ground was encircled with ceremonial material..
And small white tent stood on the center of the ground.
The tent was also encircled with white and red cloth.
.
I thought it was preparation of house building.
I deeply thought we moved here town 35 years ago.
This dormitory had already stood this place.
Heisei changed to Reiwa.
Off course people living this area also will change.
What kind of building will be stood here?

Where will be dormitory woman living her life?
I gazed at this place for a while

私の好きな秀歌

＜花束＞は太平洋をただよへり一つ一つの〈花＞に分かれて
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　高野公彦　『流木』

父として幼き者は見上げ居りねがわくは金色（こんじき）の獅子とうつれよ
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　佐々木幸綱　『金色の獅子』

「はなびら」と点字をなぞる　ああ、これは桜の可能性が大きい
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　笹井宏之　『ひとさらい』

おさらひのつもりで妻にさよならと言へばにはかに悲しみ溢る
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　岩田　正　『柿生坂』

どの歌も暗唱したい歌。そして心に揺蕩う歌。
最初の２首の歌人は現役の、朝日歌壇の選者である。

後の２首は、故人である。

笹井は若くして逝った。
私と同じ故郷の歌人ということで注目した。
若い人が好む歌人で、年配の人には受け付けられないという人もあるようだ。

tasting

Fri, 14 Jun 2019 21:14:48 +0900

Today I’ like to talk about experience of sake tasting in Nara city.
I went to Nara-machi town with my daughter.
Nara- machi town area is the place where streets and houses have remained unchanged for more a century.

There was the place we could enjoy tasting Japanese sake.
The name of the place is S.Imanishi Co., Ltd (今西清兵衛商店)
The Address is 24-1 Fukuchi-in cho,Nara.

We can enjoy tasting Japanese sake by 500 yen per person.
When we entered the house, we can see a little bit wide space in a dim light of the room. From earth floor to ceiling is tall and we can step into the shop on shoes.

There was a man and a woman who are serving sake to the customers in the center of the circle tables.
We are sitting in front of tables around the center table.
Some of the people were from foreign countries.
Before sit, we must pay 500yen.To start with tasting, we select a glass of each of our own. It was small cute colored glass such as pink, cherry, purple, yellow and white.
Sake was cold and very good.
Five types of sake are served by shop assistant.
They are sweet or dry one.

In the bottom of a small glass, a deer is carved.
At the end of tasting, we can eat and taste Nara pickles.
We can bring back tasting glass of your own as a souvenir.
It was really good time for us.
Why don’t you try that experience!

久しぶりの投稿です。
ヤフーブログが終了すると知りびっくりするやら、驚くやらどうしたものかと悩んでおります。皆様はどのように考えておられるのでしょうか。良い案があれば教えててください。
さて、最近の私の作品はマンネリで作品に勢いがなく、日常生活報告詠に終わっているなぁと反省しています。作品は２月の寒い時期のものです。

５月号掲載歌（森田溥選）

一輪の紅の椿つつましく厨の卓に春を呼びたり

振袖に奈良の通りをにぎやかに歩くをとめら上海の人

ほんのりと甘き香ただよふ道の辺に白梅開き目白の来る

癌治療は辛しと賀状に書きし君を信じざるまま逝き給ひたり

日の暮れの外の面明るし雨戸閉ぢる手元にふるる二月の冷気

人知れず苦労はありて痒しかゆしとマゴノテを手に寝に行く夫

写真は、我が家の庭のツツジと紫蘭の花です。
紫蘭はそろそろ見頃が過ぎましたが、ツツジはまだまだ楽しめそうです。

　霜月に日々届きたる喪中葉書九十八歳百一歳はめでたし

　　　　楽しかったたった一度の思ひ出の浮かびて消えぬ父との魚釣り

　　　　頭上には陸橋みえて黒きすす噴きつつ汽車の過ぎてゆきたり

　太陽圏ぬけて星空空間に宇宙探査機たびの途中ね

　　　　　人間の欲望こそが恐ろしと言はれ諾ひくさめを二つ

写真は、先月訪れた京都銀閣寺の馬酔木の花です。
白も美しいですが、紅も何とも言えず見とれました。

今は、こちらもそろそろ桜が見ごろとなってきました。
またそのうちにアップしたいと思います。

山道を友らと歩けば後ろより来る人老人会かと問へり

　お父さん気を付けてねと玄関のマイマイ踏まぬやうにと告げぬ

　　正倉院展み終へて急ぐ夕の道露店に並ぶ富有柿の実

　　　母親に抱かれ眠るみどりごのぐっすり寝るとはかういふことか

　　　利酒の店は奈良町吹き抜けの真中に卓といすの置かれて

　　　玻璃の杯に含む冷酒の喉すぐる小さき幸ひは利酒にして

　　　外国の人らもともに卓囲み笑顔になりて利酒に酔ふ

利酒の歌は奈良町の某酒屋さんでの実際の体験です。
とてもおいしいお酒でした。
奈良にお越しの節は是非お出でになるとよいと思います。
お奨めです。(*´ω｀)

玻璃の小さな猪口はお土産に持ち帰ることができますよ。

センター試験

Wed, 06 Feb 2019 14:30:52 +0900

The university entrance examination center test 2019 was held on January. Every year I’m interested in the test and solving English questions. Because I want to know my English basic abilities.
The test consists of reading and writing questions. They are from question1 to question 6.
Listening test doesn’t contain in those questions. It is carried out another test.
Content of question 1 is about pronunciations something like accent point of words or sound of words.
Question 2 is grammars.
Question 3 is about reading knowledge and understanding knowledge of little bit long sentences or conversations of daily student life in school.
Question 4 is about understanding knowledge of the English explanation sentences.
Question 5 and 6 are about reading and understanding knowledge of long sentences.

I tried to solve these questions. It took for me to finish for two days.
First day I solved 3,5 and 6 questions.
Second day I solved the rest of the questions.
It was so exciting for me to check the answers.

I’m going to make my result of test score secret here today.
If you like, I’ll recommend you try the center test.

The high school student’s average mark(grade) in the center test are 125.54.
The full marks in the test is 200.

Now I’ll try to solve Japanese test.

The other day I received a small pink card which are named Nana- Maru (The word Nana- Maru, the Japanese for seventy) card.
It was sent to me from Nara city hall.
Nana-Maru IC card means identification plastic card that you are seventy years old.

70 IC card give the over seventy years old person several services. Before using it, you must deposit the least 1000 yen in the card.
The places to charge are in several areas in Nara city.

久しぶりに青南掲載歌を投稿します。
なかなかこれはという歌はできません。
感想をいただければ幸いです。

あでやかな赤き唇脚組みし白人女性の腕に入れ墨

仏壇に小菊を供へ香をたき平成最後の夏を告げたり

美しき緑の羽を閉ぢしまま床にころがり死せる夏の蛾

手放して今に悔いをり『「チボー家の人々』」また『サラダ記念日』

「ほほえみ」といふ緑の葡萄届きたり皮ごと食べられますと書かれて

目薬を日に四度さす我が暮らし見えないものも見たしと願ふ

のけぞりて勝利の校歌を歌ふ球児われは君らの一途が好きだ

　　　　写真は我が家の夜の訪問者。硝子戸の守宮
　　　　　　　　庭によき香を放つ石蕗

いずれも歌の材料になりますね(´・ω・`)
