針槐/ Black Locust Flowers from AIH 20210719

日輪はなべて差しきて針槐の房のかがやき谷をうるほす

sunrays

shining on the earth

equally--

black locust flowers cast

peace over the valley

花の幾ふさ風にゆれ針槐の甘き香みつる水無月は立つ

June starts

with bunches of flowers

swaying in the wind

and the sweet fragrance of

black locust flowers

針槐　君に届くかこの香り我らが痛みもいささかなりと

black locust flowers…

will this scent ever

reach you?

and if it could

what too of our pains?

white acacia

in the soft breeze

petals twirling

in the cool stream

my feet resting

bright white

acacia blooms

in the summer heat

my dress sways

with you

acacia

in your shade

me and ants

sharing a blanket

with a stranger

heat wave

acacia's blooms

so crisp and cool

up in the treetops

zephyr clouds

沼辺/ Pondside from AIH 20210626

うちなびく草の間ふかく蠢くは何ものぞ沼辺に怯む我は

what does move

in the dense glass fluttering

in the wind?

I’m frightened at it

by the pondside

rusty garden gate ...

on the maple tree

bird feeder swaying

in the wind gasps

I wonder --- emptiness

君子蘭 / Clivia Nobilis from AIH 20210620

一隅に咲く君子蘭　緋の装束に我が裡映し二十年

clivia nobilis

flowering in a corner

I’ve reflected

my passion in its scarlet

for twenty years

※亡き母の頂きものの君子蘭ですが、20年間ばかり越冬してきました。
That Clivia Nobilis/ Kaffir lily was my late mother's, who passed away two years ago.
I have grown it, and it has gone through the severe cold winter for about twenty years.

From Tanka by Rika Inami 46

her red

so flattering

in this empty room

I feel your warmth

family gathering

so many races

I don't recognize

in the corner ---

clivia nobilis blooms

(C)Olena Viengsombat

五月雨/ Early Summer Rain from AHI 20210620

いね足らぬ朝は明けきて五月雨の滴りを聴く憂ひけふもや

sleepless dawn

and I hear summer rain

drizzling--

today may become

another gloomy day

From Tanka by Rika Inami46

drizzling

from the bygone night

drowsy mourn

🄫Ashoka Weerakkody

池の上のワインレッドの睡蓮の葉葉にうかぶる五月（さつき）の憂ひ

melancholy of May…

I leave it on the wine-red

young leaves

of water lilies floating

on a dark pond

From Tanka by Rika Inami46

dewed rose

in the soft breeze

trembling and bowing

to the tree stump

I pay my respect

(C)Laughing waters

Thank you for translating my tanka into Indonesian.

senja terjaga

dan kudengar rintik hujan

di musim panas--

hari ini mungkin menjadi

hari sendu lainnya

藪椿/ Wild Camellia from AIH 20210620

山つばき冬厳しきの地にありて皐月の空に紅(くれない)ささぐ

mountain camellias

in a region with harsh winter

dedicate

their crimson blooms toward

the early summer sky in May

From Tanka by Rika Inami 46

🄫Ryuuji Suwa

あらがねの土の温みに藪椿おのが季(とき)知りやうやうに咲く

the rich soil warming up:

wild camellias

know their season finally comes

and are in full bloom

漆黒/ Pitch Darkness -AIH 20210620

漆黒の未知の魔の風入りたるか摩擦に喘ぎ我が身の軋む

a pitch-dark

unknown evil wind must have

entered me

my body creaks

as I gasp at the friction

From Tanka by Rika Inami 46

a night owl

seeking a dark corner

trespassed

stargazing

in the middle of the sky

I see a star

I don't recognize

your face my friend...

midnight ...

me and the moon

walking around the lake

scooping the stars

with my beach hat

瞑想は心を無にし魔の風も摩擦喘ぎも凌駕するもの

苦しみて我が身をせむる事なかれ世の中全て移り行くもの

(C)岡本信一

谷空木/Weigela Hoetensis 20210523

谷空木の紅色はしき繁山の緑さえゆく間（はざま）にふける

indulging

in the mountain air

here and there...

pink deutzias are in bloom

greeny thriving more and more

　近辺の山々が青々と美しくなりました。花は紅色の谷空木を山の中のいたるところで見ます。谷空木は当地では「いわし花」と言われています。イワシが大量にとれる頃に咲くから、そのように名付けられたようです。とても愛らしく綺麗な花ですが、イワシという名から生臭い匂いが感じられるということで仏壇に供えることはできません。家内に悪いことを呼ぶ縁起の悪い花ともいわれ庭に植えることも禁じられています。まだそんなことを聞いていなかった子どもの頃、あまりにも山のなかで見た谷空木が愛らしかったので、持ち帰り、ご近所に持っていったら、返されたことがあります。幼な心に悲しい思いがしましたが、この日以来、イワシ花とはどういうものか知りました。

　この地に住んでいるわたしには山でしか見られない花です。

In English

The mountains in the vicinity have become lush and beautiful. The pink weigela hortensis, a kind of deutzias, can be seen everywhere in the mountains. It is called "Iwashi Bana/ Sardin Flower" here in these areas. It is so named because it blooms when sardines are caught in abundance. It is a lovely and beautiful flower, but we cannot offer it to the Buddhist altar because of its fishy smell. It is also said to be a flower of bad luck, bringing bad luck into the family, and it is forbidden to plant it in the garden. When I was a girl and had not yet heard of such a thing, I saw the weigela hortensis in the mountains, which was so lovely that I took it home and gave it to my neighbours, who returned it to me. It was a sad moment in my childhood, but I have learned what the sardine flower is since that day.

　 It is the flower that I can only see in the mountains.
