枇杷_Layered rhythm swaying in the wind : Swing_individual

COMING SOON

Some leaves fall only once a year, at a specific time,
while others fall with every gust of wind.
These loquat leaves follow the latter rhythm.

一年に一度、その時期に落ちてくる葉もあれば、
風が吹く毎、その風に落ちてくる葉もあります。
この枇杷の葉は後者のリズム。

Some trees are planted, cultivated for decades, and then harvested,
while others are suddenly cut down and taken away.
This cedar tree follows the former rhythm.

苗木を植えて数十年、地域で育てられて収穫される木もあれば、
実生していたものを不意に切られて運ばれていく木もあります。
この杉は前者のリズム。

If I pay attention to the layered rhythms within the scenery, I’ll notice that a larger rhythm completes one cycle, while smaller rhythms complete three cycles in between. It's impossible to even measure if it's a cycle, but there's a sense that the magnificent rhythm is in motion.

風景の中で複層するリズムに目を向けると、大きなリズムが一周巡り、その間に小さなリズムが三周巡っていたりします。巡っているのかすら測れないけれど、大きなリズムが動いているような気配があります。

One day, the wind I saw on a mountain pass was large and slow, swaying the trees on the mountain in the distance like a slow motion. And the twigs above my head and the grass at my feet also swaying. When I crossed the pass and came out into the next town, yellow flowers were swaying slowly in the wind by the roadside of a single-track train station.

ある日に山の峠で見た風は、大きくゆっくりとスローモションのように向こうの山の木々を揺らしていて、私の頭の上の小枝も、わたしの足元の草も風にそよいでいました。峠を越えて隣り町に出ると、単線の駅の道端で黄色い花が大きくゆっくりと風にそよいでいました。

One great wind gradually diminishes as it reaches various parts of the landscape. It seemed as if there were no boundaries, and the elements of the landscape were interconnected. I don't understand it well enough to express it in writing at all, but that's what it felt like. I must have been in that wind too.

１つの大きな風は小さくなりながら風景の各所へと至ります。その様子には境界がないように思え、風景の要素が関連しあっているように思えました。全く書き表せていませんが、そういう事なのだと腹に落ちたのです。私もその風の中にいたはずです。

I feel the wind that day was the wind that connected the things I had previously known in fragments. What I'm trying to recreate in my creative work is that wind from that day, and I'm continuing my research to understand it.
I'm sure a good wind will blow on these loquat leaf.

あの日の風は、これまでばらばらに見知っていたことを繋げる風だったのだろうと思っています。私が創作でつくろうとしているのはあの日の風で、理解するために調査を続けています。
この枇杷の葉には、きっと良い風が吹くことと思います。

I hope that rhythm and balance will lead to harmony.
