What is Your Sport?

In the Willow's Shadow - News from Flower City
柳の陰で花街新聞
(10/02/26) What is your sport?

What is your sport?
Let's play together.

200 years ago, in the Edo period, I imagine Kyoto was a world of black and grey. People wore patterns coded to caste and occupation. A man or woman could easily be judged and treated according to his or her rank of birth.

Yet here, in the flower city, people were treated in a basic human sense, as bodies.

The human body is capable of many things. In the Olympics, humans from any country compete as equals. Gold goes to she or he who has the greatest practice and the greatest skill.

Sport, the practice of play, takes many forms, but where the rules are strict, the masters compete as human equals.

What is your sport? What is your stadium?

Is it an earthen field? A concrete street? A grass thatched hut?

Let's meet on the field, and play. Give it your best shot.

Sport は?
一緒に遊びましょう。

200年前に江戸時代に京都は黒と灰色の世界だと思います。人々が服で等を読めました。地位の事で特別の考え方に色々の事されたかもしれません。

だけども、花街で、人間は俗的に体としてあつかわれたかもしれません。

人間の体は色々な事が出来ますね。Olympicsでどこの国の人間も平等に競い合う事ができる。一番上手な人が金メダルをとる事ができます。

Sport、遊びのお稽古は色々な形であるが方法がきびしくて達人は平等に競い合えます。

Sportは?Stadiumは?

土場?コンクリートの道?庵?

あの場であってあそびましょう。一期一会でがんばりましょう。
