Twig on a Journey : Rotate_individual

COMING SOON

The Irumagawa River flows near the studio. It descends the mountain and joins the Arakawa River, irrigating the Kanto Plain before heading out to Tokyo Bay. Once it leaves Tokyo Bay, it can travel the world by connecting with ocean currents. The upper reaches of the Irumagawa River are known as the Naguri River, and the valley is filled with the scenery of fireflies dancing. He was born and raised in such a scenery.

スタジオの近くを流れているのは入間川。山を下ると荒川と合流し、関東平野を潤し東京湾へ。東京湾を抜けると海流を乗り継いで世界中へ行くことができます。その入間川の上流域は特に名栗川と呼ばれ、渓谷に蛍の舞う風景が広がっています。彼はそんな風景の中で生まれ育ちました。

I wonder what he was looking at as he floated down the valley river.
He might have glanced at a white egret standing on a small rock, and depending on the season, he might have gazed at wisteria flowers flowing down the river, or autumn leaves jutting out from both banks. Along the way, he probably missed sudden summer rains and missed the rising water. In winter, when the river's water level is low, he must have been left waiting on the shore.

谷の川を流れながら、何をみていたのかなと思います。
小さな岩に立つ白鷺を横目に、季節によっては川に流れ落ちる藤の花や、両岸からせり出す紅葉した木々を眺めたかもしれません。途中では夏の急な雨を逃し、増水した水に乗り遅れたこともあったろうと思います。川の水量が減る冬は、岸で待ちぼうけもあったはずです。

I repaired one of the missing branch with brass branch.
The brass branch stretch out to ride the river water, wandering around looking for their proper position. Listening carefully to the twig as it tilts its head slightly, I learnt that there was something missing. That was a small brass sprout.

私は失われていた枝の一部を真鍮の枝で繕いました。
真鍮の枝は川の水に乗るために伸び、迷いながら佇まいを探します。
わずかに首を傾げる小枝の話をよくよく聞いてみると、足りないものがあると。
それは、小さな真鍮の新芽でした。

When a twig leaning against a pebble in the valley starts to sway in the river water, I feel as if a large, continuous cycle is beginning to turn.

谷の小石にもたれていた小枝が、川の水に揺れ始めるとき、ひとつながりの大きな営みが回り始めるような気がします。

I hope that rhythm and balance will lead to harmony.
