その式典に来ていた人たちは、もっぱら山尾三省氏のご
遺族や彼の古い知り合いまたは、フアンであった。

私みたいにわけがわからずただ「詩人の式典がある」と
聞き足を運んだ人は、あの席にはいなかったと思う。
しかし、その公民館に置いてある本を見て「なんだか私が
手に取った本が沢山あるなあぁ」と眺めていると、この二
冊の本が同一人物が書いたと気づくその時は改めて故人の
19回忌に私がいたという事実と、私の手にした本との関係
の不思議さを思った。
私は氏が生前放ったメッセージを確実に一つ一つ拾いながら
ここ屋久島に来ていたという偶然のような事実だった。
そして今彼の本を読んでいる。『アニミズムという希望』と
いう本だ。
この本には「俳句の季語はカミである」と記されている。
彼は小林一茶の表現した世界はそのカミの世界である、と
いうのだ。
ちょうど、俳句を始めたばかりで季語の本を読んでいたの
で、日本古来からの俳句の世界に山尾三省氏のアニミズム
観を照らし合わせて考え始めた。
『アニミズムという希望』を読むにつれ、私を取り巻く
この屋久島の環境がどうも、人間の本来あるべき姿である
ということがうっすらと分かってきた。
アメリカでのサバイバル経験(私はこの時期を修業時代と読ん
でいる)そしてヨルダンの砂漠の民の運命を垣間見て来た私に
はものすごく説得力のあるものとしてはっきり見えてきた。

And I learned this fact when the 19th anniversary of
the author of this book, Sansei Yamao, was held at
the public hall in the Shirako River village on Yakushima,
and I happened to go there without knowing it. ..
I was surprised that the order was all reversed.
The people who came to the ceremony were
exclusively the bereaved family of Sansei Yamao and
his old acquaintances or fans.
I don't think there was anyone like me who just heard
that there was a poet's ceremony and went to that seat.
However, when I looked at the books in the public hall
However, when I looked at the books in the public hall
and looked at "I have a lot of books I picked up,"
I realized that these two books were written by the
same person.
At that time, I once again wondered about the
relationship between the fact that I was on the 19th
anniversary of the deceased and the book I had.
It was a coincidence that I came here to Yakushima
It was a coincidence that I came here to Yakushima

his lifetime.
And now I'm reading his book. It's a book called
"The Horp of Animizumu “Sansei Yamao
The book says, "The season word for haiku is God."
He says that the world expressed by Issa Kobayashi
is the world of that god.

seasonal words, so I began to think about the
world of haiku from ancient Japan in light of Sansei
Yamao's view of animism.
