強風に煽られた季節終わりのサルスベリの花が落下、同様にいろいろな木々の葉も落下。その中に木の早いことに「紅葉」している葉が?

台風15号 (typhoon Roke) の翌朝、東京にて。

お寺さんの近く、竹やぶがあって、家々の庭も含め各種広葉樹、針葉樹もあれこれ植えられている地域。路面は植物標本をぶちまけたようになっている。

This is the bottom of a slope where it looks like a lot of leaves and branches had been floated onto. If this were at night, this could be pretty dangerous. You can't see what is at your foot.

Exactly three months ago, on 11 March 2011, 02:46 pm, Japan was shaken. Tens of thousands of human lives were lost. A lot of cities and towns affected.

To make the matters worse, the nuclear reactors got f**ked. Now we are living in Tokyo under some unusual radiation tho it's not felt. (Look at my twitter friend's docimeter. I personally am not afraid, as that's always cancer that have killed my family members - grandfathers, uncles, an aunt, father - and I think I'm doomed anyway.)

桜の森の満開の下


桜の森の満開の下
Originally uploaded by nofrills

 “桜の花が咲くと人々は酒をぶらさげたり団子をたべて花の下を歩いて絶景だの春ランマンだのと浮かれて陽気になりますが、これは嘘です。なぜ嘘かと申しますと、桜の花の下へ人がより集って酔っ払ってゲロを吐いて喧嘩して、これは江戸時代からの話で、大昔は桜の花の下は怖しいと思っても、絶景だなどとは誰も思いませんでした。近頃は桜の花の下といえば人間がより集って酒をのんで喧嘩していますから陽気でにぎやかだと思いこんでいますが、桜の花の下から人間を取り去ると怖ろしい景色になりますので、能にも、さる母親が愛児を人さらいにさらわれて子供を探して発狂して桜の花の満開の林の下へ来かかり見渡す花びらの陰に子供の幻を描いて狂い死して花びらに埋まってしまう(このところ小生の蛇足)という話もあり、桜の林の花の下に人の姿がなければ怖しいばかりです。
 昔、鈴鹿峠にも旅人が桜の森の花の下を通らなければならないような道になっていました。…”
