capturing in prose
秋の薔薇は春に比べると少しさびしいが、横浜イングリッシュガーデンには多くの薔薇が咲いている。先日の台風のせいか、多くの花が傷ついている。それでも十分である。この季節は、花が徐々に少なくなる季節なのだから。
Autumn roses looks quieter than spring but you would see so many roses at Yokohama English Garden. Many flower’s petal are scratched probably by typhoon having gone through close to Yokohama last week.
間もなく、ハロウィン。イングリッシュガーデンではあるが、華やかに。
Usually, I’m writing here about cross cultural things of France or Europe in Japanese. Basically, prominent colors of France seems to be a kind of earth color like brown, green, gray and so on, especially for common Japanese. However, I think, it comes from a color of building and brilliant red or pink can be a symbolic color of Europe.
Honestly saying, I prefer blue of sky and I believe it shines with bright colors. One of easy ways to see a shinning blue is to visit tropical islands but it is possible to do it in north Europe.

日本語は後半に。
Looking into a deep and dry blue
through a break in the trees.
Falling down to the sky like
fragments of the summer filigrees.
When dry air covers the city of Yokohama, close to Tokyo, it tells the Autumn is coming just over there. Autumn is also rainy season. Both dry air and rain brings the harvest season to Japan.
乾いた深みを木々の間から覗き込む。光が零れるかわりに自分が落ちて行く。秋の空は深い。
通勤電車の軋む音にふと、前に座る疲れた誰かがふたり分の椅子を使ってうなだれているのに気付く。薄目を開けて混雑し始めた車内を見回し、再び目をつむる。まるで世界など最初からなかった様に、周囲から目をつむる。
ひどく暑かった夏の終わりに秋の扉をこじ開けた風雨が、ひと足先に黄色くなった葉を散らす。秋にはまだ少し間がある。
通勤電車が乗り換え駅に近付いて行く。スピーカーがパチと音をたてる。乗り換えの案内。そして、「どうぞこの先も気をつけて行ってらっしゃいませ」と、いつもと違うアナウンス。
The typhoon MAN-YI is going close to Yokohama. Am I now inside of the storm system? Probably, it is leaving us.
inside of a farm
unnoticed by all
dawn shows the garden stuff
Sometimes, morning light shows green vegetables brilliantly as if you are walking in the trees.
