如何(いかん)せむ風身を透けて留まらず 世の一切はそのままに在り
what
should I do?
winds
blow through all of me
and
don’t remain
all
things in this world are
as they
are

その日の会話は続いた。
……..
今日子:日本人の特性のようなものについて、私は風土に関係していると思っています。日本は四方が海に囲まれた小さな島国です。大陸から離れた島国であるということ、また、殆どの地方が、温暖湿潤気候で四季があります。大陸から切り離されているということは、他国から攻撃されにくかったことでしょうし、日本独自の文化を育むことができたでしょう。海を渡って大陸の文化が渡ってきてからも、日本人の感性に合うように変えたりもしてきました。
気象的には、なるほど冬はありますが、春の到来は冬を越して優しく温かい春を迎えるという喜びの気持ちも持たせてくれます。自然の四季の巡りのなかで、日本の昔の人たちは自然を自分と対立しているものとは考えなくなったのだと思います。
また、空気が乾燥していず、湿り気があるということは、情感を養い、人と人とのあいだを大切にし、言葉ではっきりと細々説明するよりも瞬間的に相手を思いやる気持ちを育んできたのではないかと思います。そして、稲作を通じて、その生産性を上げるために、自然に馴染み、共同体を作り、ひたむきに文化を育んできたのが日本人ではないかと思っています。
ソフィア:なるほどね。
今日子:私は、大学在学中、実は、一時、キリスト教に傾倒したことがあり、改宗を考えたこともありました。が、私に神の存在がありつつ改宗できなかったのは、結局、この風土と稲作の土壌に関係していたからではなかったかと思います。
ご存知のように、私は日本の東北の秋田県の田舎に住んでおります。この一帯は稲作地帯であり、冬にとても寒く、豪雪地帯とも言われています。そして、この厳しい冬の気象が、私たち秋田県民の気性に深く関与しているのではないかと思っております。
もう亡くなっているのですが、ある小説家が、私のような秋田県の人間は、冬に寒くて深い雪のなかにいるので、ドイツ人と似て、哲学者や数学者のように考える傾向があると言っていました。
私はその考えに肯いています。 つづく
That
day’s chat continued.
…………
Kyoko: About things like the characteristics of the
Japanese, I think that is related to the climate. Japan is a small island
nation surrounded by the sea. It is an island country away from the continent,
and most regions have a warm and humid climate with four seasons. Being
separated from the continent made it harder for other countries to
attack and has fostered Japan's unique culture. Even after the culture of the continent
crossed the ocean into Japan and was accepted, it was changed to suit the
sensibility of the Japanese people.
As for the weather, there is winter, but
the arrival of spring gives us the joy of having a gentle and warm feeling. I think Japanese people in the old days did
think of nature as the opposite of them in the natural four seasons.
Also, the fact that the air is not dry but humid has nurtured emotions, made people respect others, and fostered the feeling of caring for the other person instantly rather than explaining it
clearly and verbosely in words. I think so. To increase the productivity of rice
cultivation, I think that the Japanese people have become more familiar with
nature, created communities, developed single-mindedness and nurtured their culture.
Sophia: I
see.
Kyoko: While I
was in university, I was really into Christianity for a while, and I thought
about converting. But, although I had the god or gods in my mind, I couldn’t do it. I suppose it was because my
nature is related to this climate and the land of rice planting.
As you
know, I live in the rural area of Akita Prefecture, Northeast, Japan. Here is a rice-growing
area, it is very cold in winter, and it is said to be an area of heavy snowfall.
I think that this severe winter weather
is deeply involved in forming the temperament of Akita people. A novelist, who is dead, wrote that Akita
people tend to think of things l like philosophers and mathematicians, like the Germans, because of the cold and deep snow in winter
I agree
with him. To be continued.

I Don’t Wanna be Alone Tonight By Tianyu Feeling I can still hold on with a smile, Can work without passion, But everytime face the night I’ll no longer happy again. What the moon that no one accompany me to watch , It just pale as a knife, Cold through my lonely heart. Feeling I could never cared anything with a smile, Especially a love or a person, But I know best how much I disguise. Everytime I'd like to be a fool, Just for some warm, Cause I don’t wanna be alone tonight. I know I need to be in love, Let the love comfort me when I cry with hurt. Though I feel that I‘m not the god's loving choice, But I also need to have a vision for my silent heart.
