My Facebook friends gave me their reply for Nishimonai Bon Odori.

flaming sunset
a tongues of the fire
flicking on and off
as Bon Odori dancers
keeping the beat
Bon Odori
the heart of the pine
still hold the light
a night sky
full of ambers
soft breeze
from the tapping feet
a silk clothes
become the one
with the ashes
Bon Odori
the dancer's face
aglow with flames
as her feet continue
the beat

西馬音内盆踊り 1 / Nishimonai Bon Odori 1from AIH

 

<西馬音内盆踊りへ 3/ Three pieces of Tanka for Nishimonai Bon Odori>

20218月、西馬音内盆踊りはコロナ禍のために無観客で開催されました。この踊りのファンとしては残念なかぎりでした。しかし、嬉しいことがありました。今夏開催された東京五輪の閉会式で優美な西馬音内盆踊りの映像が世界に向けて放映されたのです。

西馬音内盆踊りは、秋田県羽後町西馬音内にておよそ750年間踊り継がれたきた盆踊りで、国の重要無形民俗文化財に指定されています。同盆踊りへ思いを込めて三首。写真は、旧年中に撮ったものです。

In August 2021, the Nishimonai Bon Odori (Nishimonai Bon Dance) was held without spectators due to the Covid 19 disaster. As a fan of this dance, I felt deeply sorry that I could not see it. However, I was pleased that the beauteous Nishimonai Bon Odori was aired to the world via video at the Final Ceremony of the Tokyo Olympics held this summer.

The Nishimonai Bon Odori has been danced for about 750 years in Nishimonai, Ugo-machi, Akita, and is designated as National Important Intangible Folk Cultural Property of Japan.

This month, I start with three pieces of tanka for Nishimonai Bon Odori. The photographs were taken in the past few years.

an ethereal dance
filled with the world spirit

西馬音内盆おどり猖獗の禍に観る人無きも念のかはらず

 

despite no spectators

due to the Corona disaster

the passion

for Nishimonai Bon Odori is

never lost


かがり火に踊り子火照り汗にじむ艶のうなじを送り風なづ

 

blazing bonfires…

dancer’s heart is all aglow

gentle breeze

sending the spirit caresses

the fascinating sweaty nape

忘れ草/ Daylily from AIH20210821

 

神を俟つ野末の茂に筋きざむ忘れ草さく……強くあれかし
 
in the field
waiting for God
a daylily
amidst bushes is in bloom
curving stripes… be strong

文月の望月/ July Full Moon from AIH20210821


文月の朱色にもゆる望月は鎖のごとく鉄塔うつす

 

July’s full moon

reflects the power tower

in vermillion

like a chain binding them

never to be separated

意味無意味/ Meaningful or Not from AIH20210821


暫くは魔界の闇にとらはれむ贖ふべきの我が罪故か

 

for my original sin

to be expiated …

for a while 

I may have been caught

in the darkness of hell


🄫2021Rika Inami稲美 里佳


意味無意味 渦中にあるの苦を問はれ 縁(えにし)のあやの義をおもはずや

 

is it meaningful or not?

being asked about my suffering

amid the case 

don’t I think of justice of karma

yes, I do

From Tanka by Rika Inami 48

 

lotus root

in the soft mud

your green leaves

reaching out to sun

my praying hands


raven...

the dark shadow

covers a nest

a mother

always remember


wind chimes

in the soft breeze

reminding me

sweet kisses

we share


small pond 

moon face 

all wrinkled

my summer dress

dry in the breeze


rice fields —

heavy stalks bowing

to the road dust

raindrops falling

on your chest


a Milky way

fireflies in night sky

moon slowly dipping

in the river

we flow 


along the pond

white lilies 

emerging

above the water

I'm taking a breath


upcoming storm

a scent of the raindrops

the flowery ring

you place on my head

a kiss

八塩山 神みそなはす水の源(もと)われら憩はむ真昼の木陰

 

Mt.Yashio…God sees 

all at the crystal spring 

let’s breathe

fresh air in the shade of

the midday trees

Thank you for your reply.


at long last
a burst of lively hope
crystal clear

🄫Ashoka Weerakkody

summer breeze

flows freely
a blue curtains
in your room
I paused
daytime moon
lighter shade
of pale —
your face
I wish to kiss
rosehips
and hibiscus
in the cup
you recognize
a scent of spring
sunlight
gliding a floor
next to your bed
a loyal dog sight
a dried leaf
between pages
memories
of the spring
kisses
a yellow butterfly
circles around
candle flames—
your breath so soft
summer dawn...
gradually moon
fills the sky
one star
only your's

calling for a cool breeze--

trees’ leaves

with the glistening sun

suddenly sway
