作家のことば

　挿木をして、十年とは言わないがなかなか花を見せてくれない。ようやく小さな花が咲いた。来年はと期待するも肥料不足か葉のみ。今年蕾が数個つき枝振りの良いものが蕾のふくらむ様子なく、見ると太った虫に食べられ枯れてきた。その後咲く花に期待したが小さな花でした。想像と現実の違いを感じながら形にすることにする。

I took cuttings, and though it didn't take ten years, the plant was slow to show flowers. Finally, small flowers bloomed. I hoped for more next year, but there were only leaves, perhaps due to lack of fertilizer. This year, several buds appeared, but the branch with good shape was eaten by a fat insect and began to wither without the buds swelling. I waited for the next flowers, but they were small. I decided to give form to this feeling of discrepancy between imagination and reality.
