良寛詩

作家のことば

　ふとしたことから珍しい画箋紙が手に入りました。わくわくしながら試しに良寛の詩を書いてみました。実に気持ちの良い筆の走りで、あっという間に数枚が出来ました。
　こんな事で良いのかなと半信半疑で二枚目に書いた作品に押印しました。“試し〟という無心さが幸いしたのでしょうか。八十一歳。そろそろそんな事ができても良いのかもしれません。

I happened to come across some rare drawing paper. I was excited to try it out and wrote a poem by Ryokan.

I was surprised at how quickly I was able to produce a few sheets of paper.
I was skeptical about whether this was the right thing to do, so I stamped the second piece I wrote. I guess I was fortunate in that I was just "trying it out. I am 81 years old. Maybe I should be able to do such a thing by now.
