庭先ラジオ｜風景採集

快晴の日に、野だてハイキングへ出発！

頂上で大日如来像にご挨拶して、山やその向こうに見える海を堪能しながらお茶を点てる。

甘いお菓子の香りに釣られたのか、ブ～ンと一匹の虫がやってきて、ホバリングしながら見守っている。

遠くに聞こえるシカの鳴き声。

空高く舞っている鳥を眺めながら、トンビにパンを獲られたときのことを思い出した。

大日山の頂上を一人で満喫した時間を共有します。

A Tea Ceremony on the Mountain

On a beautiful, sunny day, I set off for a hiking trip with a little outdoor tea ceremony.

At the summit, I paid my respects to the statue of Dainichi Nyorai, then took in the beautiful views of the mountains and the sea beyond as I prepared a bowl of matcha.

Perhaps drawn by the sweet scent of the Japanese sweets, a little insect came buzzing over. It hovered nearby, seemingly watching over my tea ceremony.

In the distance, I could hear deer calling.

As I watched birds soaring high in the sky, I remembered the time a black kite swooped down and snatched bread right out of my hands.

I'd like to share a peaceful moment spent enjoying the summit of Mount Dainichiyama all to myself.

A Soothing Voice

A beautiful bird song that soothes me, no matter how many times I listen.

I'm grateful to have moments like these in everyday life, when I can pause and listen to the sounds of nature, just as they are.

I'd like to share this little gift with you all. I hope it brings you a moment of peace and relaxation.

平久里地区の祭礼「へぐりんまち」を初めて見に行った。

雨が降っていたため、山車はビニールで覆われていたけれど、それはそれで幻想的だった。

遠くから勢いよくやってくる山車の姿が、一瞬、映画『風の谷のナウシカ』に登場するオームに見えた。

ふだんは静かな平群天神社の参道に、こんなに出店が並んでいるのを見たのも初めてだ。

4台の山車が集まり、盛り上がっている様子を見ながら帰路に着いた。このあと、へぐり伊予ヶ岳公園に集結したらしい。例年通りなら、8台の屋台が集まるそうだ。

雨の中でも、こんなに盛り上がる「へぐりんまち」。来年は晴れるといいな。

ちょっと落ち込んでいたけれど、祭りばやしを聞いて元気をもらえた。今度は、この「へぐりばやし」を聞いた誰かが、元気になってくれたらうれしい。

I went to see the Hegurinmachi festival in the Heguri district for the first time.

It was raining, so the festival floats were covered in plastic sheets, but that gave them an almost dreamlike, otherworldly atmosphere.

As one of the floats came rushing toward me from a distance, it briefly reminded me of an Ohmu from the film Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind.

I had also never seen so many food and festival stalls lining the approach to Heguri Tenjin Shrine, which is usually so quiet.

I headed home while watching the excitement build as four festival floats gathered together. Apparently, they later assembled at Heguri Iyogatake Park. In a typical year, eight festival floats gather there.

Even in the rain, Hegurinmachi was full of energy. I hope the weather will be sunny next year.

I had been feeling a little down, but listening to the festival music lifted my spirits. I hope that someone else listening to this Heguri festival music will feel uplifted, too.

祭りばやしを奏でながら、屋台が里山を練り歩いた日。

笛と太鼓の音が近づいては遠ざかり、また近づいてくる。

その合間に車が通る音や、鳥たちのさえずり、虫の音、わが家の犬が吠えたり遠くにいる人の声が微かに聞こえたり。

28分ごろから聞こえる犬の声は、薄暗くなった庭で屋台が通るのを見守るために犬たちと待っていたところ、庭先に野生動物がいたようで犬が吠えていた。

31分あたりでシカの声が入っているので、シカがうろうろしていたのかな。

仕事しながら、勉強しながら、環境音としてどうぞ。

On this day, festival floats marched through the Satoyama hills, filling the air with traditional festival music (matsuri-bayashi).You’ll hear the sounds of flutes and drums fading in and out, drawing closer and then moving away again. In between, the recording captures the passing of cars, birds chirping, insects buzzing, my dogs barking, and the faint voices of people in the distance.

• Around 28:00 – You’ll hear my dogs barking. We were waiting in the twilight garden to watch the festival floats pass by when it seemed like a wild animal wandered near the yard, causing the dogs to start barking.
• Around 31:00 – A deer’s cry is caught on mic. It felt like one was wandering around nearby.

Cooking New Rice Over a Wood Fire

I cook over a wood fire in the earthen-floored kitchen of my old Japanese farmhouse.

The wild boars destroyed our entire little rice paddy, but I was lucky enough to receive some freshly harvested rice!

So I wasted no time and cooked it in a traditional Japanese pot called a hagama. I recorded the sounds along the way.

Behind the crackling flames and popping firewood, you can also hear the sounds of me washing dishes.

At around 9 minutes, there's a little lid-opening moment. I just love the bubbling sound of the rice cooking!

There's another lid-opening moment at around 13:30.

千葉県富津市金谷にある、鋸山美術館で開催中の「染川英輔展－房総編－永遠の祈り」に行ってきた。ミュージアムコンサート「悠久の祈り　曼荼羅の空間に響く―声明―」で、人生初の声明を体感。正面に曼荼羅の絵。真言法響会の僧侶たちが私たちを取り囲み、仏教音楽である声明を響かせ、全身に響きを浴びる体験をした。

目の前の大きな曼荼羅絵がときどき立体的に見え、声明のシャワーを浴びながら全身でその場を楽しんだ。

すっごく気持ちよくて、また体験したいという気持ちでいっぱい。そのときの声明を少しだけ披露しつつ、美術館や金谷で過ごした時間について話した。

I visited the EISUKE SOMEKAWA Exhibition – Boso Edition: Eternal Prayers, currently on view at the Nokogiri Museum of Art in Kanaya, Futtsu City, Chiba Prefecture.

As part of a museum concert titled “Prayers Through Eternity: Buddhist Chanting Echoing Through a Mandala Space,” I experienced shōmyō (traditional Buddhist chanting) for the very first time.

A large mandala painting stood before us, while Buddhist monks from the Shingon Hōkyōkai surrounded the audience, filling the space with their sacred chants. I was immersed in the vibrations, feeling the sound resonate throughout my entire body.

At times, the enormous mandala in front of me seemed to take on a three-dimensional form. I simply let myself enjoy the moment with my whole being, bathing in a shower of Buddhist chants.

It felt absolutely wonderful, and I left wanting to experience it all over again!

In this episode, I share a short excerpt of the chanting from that day and talk about the time I spent at the museum and in Kanaya.

今朝はかわいい鳥の鳴き声で目覚めた。

冒頭にはその鳥の声が入っている。

犬たちと庭先を散歩すると、川沿いの木々に鳥たちがいたので、帰宅後カメラとボイスレコーダーを持って再び庭へ。

あるあるなんだが、カメラを持っていないときはよく鳥に出会うのに、望遠のカメラを手に出掛けるとなかなか出会わない。

川の水も落ち着いて、いい音を奏でながら流れていた。

８分１５秒当たりに、遠くで鳴く鹿の高音が入っている。

そんな今朝の庭先の音をお届け。

After several episodes featuring the sounds of local festivals, this time I’m sharing the sounds of nature from my garden.

This morning, I woke up to the sweet sound of a bird singing.

You can hear that bird right at the beginning of the episode.

When I took my dogs for a walk around the garden, I spotted birds in the trees along the river. So after coming back home, I grabbed my camera and voice recorder and headed back outside.

It happens all the time: whenever I don’t have my camera with me, I seem to encounter birds everywhere. But when I go out carrying a camera with a telephoto lens, they somehow disappear.

The river had settled down too, flowing gently and making a lovely sound.

At around 8:15, you can hear the high-pitched call of a deer in the distance.

So, here are some of the sounds from my garden this morning.

The first day of "Yawatanmachi."
Bring you the live sounds of the Nakoshiyama Shrine's mikoshi (portable shrine) entering Tsurugaya Hachimangu Shrine.
Yawatanmachi is the largest festival in the Awa region, where 11 mikoshi, 5 floats, and festival boats gather for the grand entrance.Accompanied by the sounds of flutes, tsuzumi (hand drums), and taiko drums, the Sarutahiko (deities acting as guides) from Nakoshiyama Shrine and Takamimusubi Shrine enter side-by-side as the opening act of the day. Following them, the mikoshi dashes into the shrine grounds, repeating the traditional dynamic movements of "momi" (shaking and rocking) and "sashi" (lifting high up).At the 4:45 mark, you can hear the powerful, resonant strains of the "Kiyari-uta" (traditional chant) begin.
Feel as if you are right there on the scene—immersed in the festival's raw energy where runners dash through the grounds to the chants of "Oisa, oisa!" while the "Sora-koi!" shouts mix with the rituals and the traditional songs.【About the Show / Host】
