100 years after his death-Takuboku Ishikawa-born February 20, 1886-

1. February 17, 2012 08:30

"I'm crying and soaking in the white sand of the shore of Kojima in Tokai,"


"The day when the first love falls away from the sand of the sand mountains,"


Takuboku Ishikawa, a poet and poet from the Meiji era, was born on February 20, 1886 as the eldest son of Soto sect head priest in Mito Village, Iwate Prefecture (now Mito, Tamayama-ku, Morioka City).
Related events such as the "International Takuboku Society" have started last year, but this year, 100 years after his death, it seems that there are many plans again in Hakodate and Kushiro, the neighboring areas.


"Life full of love and turbulence" is also well known, but if you look a little over, you will find it.


― He moved to Tokyo in 1902. With the knowledge of Tetsumi Yosano, he presented a poem to Venus. At the age of 20, he published a collection of virgin poems "A longing". He was attracted attention as a "genius poet", but since then he has traveled all over Hokkaido in search of a job. He moved to Tokyo again in 1941 and worked as a proofreader for the Tokyo Asahi Shimbun in 1942. Published a handful of sand in 1943. A collection of poems written in three lines, rooted in real life, along with "sad toys" published after his death, has immortal life in the history of modern tanka poetry. 45 years old - (from Shincho Japanese Dictionary)


It is well known that Ichikyosuke Kaneda, a linguist who is famous for his hometown research in Ainu language, did not spare financial assistance until he disposed of his collections and household goods, but Takuboku who came to mindless money at the beginning and end seems to be a famous story. He borrowed money and lived a life of indemnity, and it seemed to be like a "plague god" from the surroundings, but after he got a job at the Asahi Shimbun, he became a stable life (even though he was borrowing) However, he was praised for his talent in singing and said to the director of society at the time, "I will give you as much service as possible, so think about ways to do self-development." Speaking of which, in the last year's "Rokude no Takuboku", Takuboku was drawn as a lovable person, even as a living person.

A stone monument created during the Asahi Shimbun era, "Isagashi Fish in Takiyamamachi, Kyobashi" (first appearance Tokyo Asahi Shimbun May 5, 1910 issue) stands on the site of the Asahi Shimbun. . Why don't you think about the short turbulence life of a poet who has been praised for "100 years after death"? By the way, the theme of last year's "International Takuboku Society" was "New Tomorrow, New Takuboku".

Another activity I'm doing is "Good luck! It's Ibaraki. Ginzo ran in succession in December and January. "Anko Nabe" was very delicious and I ordered a substitute. February was changed to Saturday, the third week, 2/18 (Saturday). March is 3/10. On February 18th, "Anko Nabe" will be closed, and instead Ham Goura, a representative of B-class gourmet representative of Ibaraki, who has a reputation on TV, will participate. "Ham-yaki" and "Pork Dock" sold by Goura Ham are also featured on TV, etc., and long lines are always formed when participating in events. In particular, "ham-yaki" is said to be very popular with its smoke scent and charcoal-grilled aroma. Well, I have to go!
