26. A Harbour in My Sleeves

Long ago, the man lamented to someone: ‘I could not take as my beloved the lady who lived on the Fifth Avenue.’ After receiving a reply, he wrote a poem.

How could I have imagined it?

Your kind words, like a towering ship,

come suddenly from China

making great waves of tears

in the harbour of my sleeves.

from Tales of Ise, translated by Peter MacMillan

Ariwarano Narihira's Masterpiece of Epic Poetry and Machi Tawara, Who calls It Bad (Essay)

An extremely beautiful epic poetry (Journey song) appears in the 87th paragraph of The Tale of Ise.

It seems

 that there is a person

Untie a necklace

Will they fall soon

On the narrow sleeves

ぬきみだる 人こそある���し 白玉の まなくも散るか 袖のせばきに

This is a poem that Narihira composed when he visited a famous waterfall (famous Nunobiki Falls) in what is now Hyogo Prefecture with a group of people. There is a man above the waterfall who cuts off the string of the jeweled necklace, and the jewels fall down, but my sleeve is too narrow to catch them, and the jewels drift away in vain.

What a beautiful landscape! Compared to many poems by Japanese poets, this poetry will be one of the best.

By the way, when I was reading a book by Machi Tawara (a former high school teacher who was two years younger than me), who made a name for herself in the songbook "Salad anniversary", I came across an unexpected story. The description caught my eye. She had decided that Narihira's famous song was a piece of crap.

...She has a spectacular career, but I cannot understand her criticism of "Untie…". One thing I can think of is that her successful work "Salad anniversary" is definitely a collection of "love songs". To put it in an old fashioned way, it's a "somonka:相聞歌", and I have to admit that there are modern ideas and technical mastery in this field.

Then, what about "Kiryo no Uta:羇旅歌" = "Journey songs"? Since ancient times, I think that female poets do not have "masterpieces" in this field of singing. I can't even think of a female poet who composed such a song. For men, names such as Kakinomotono Hitomaro, Yamabe Akahito, and Otomo Tabito are easily remembered. Of course, Ariwarano Narihira. (Of course, Hitomaro and Narihira were also excellent Somonka poets.) In addition, female poets famous for Somonka including Prince Nukata, Komachi Ono, Izumi Shikibu, and Imperial Princess Noriko, I don't remember seeing a dynamic epic poetry even though I talked about their passionate love songs.

Machi Tawara, you don't have the knowledge, experience, or ability to talk about "Untie...".

[dantesbasement]

Today I said that Ariwara no Narihira and Taylor Swift have a lot in common tonally and my wife was like, "Go tell THAT to your advisor tomorrow," and I don't think she appreciates that my advisor supports the idea of doing a comparative study of the role of waka poetry in classical Japan and the role of vines in late 2010s internet culture and is going to be delighted to hear that I have "Snow At the Beach" on my Narihira playlist.

[sylenth-l]

Did someone order a horrendously down bad poem from Felwinter's pov? No? Yes you did :))) I think you may need to sit down for this one

(also I am currently reading The Tale of Genji, which has many a beautiful love poem in it—and I couldn't resist adding a line from my favourite in here <3)

the softened edge

Snow drives down and settles, soft

On the sharp mountain stone

But remember, when sent on a knife-wind

these jaunty, fluttering flakes

may cut you to the bone.

One ought to see:

how these melting flurries die

how they wax and wane

how they will return to the sea

and the bitter winter sky.

I'll now put aside my pen, love.

Ah, how boundless, how clear is the air

that surrounds us at the top of the world?

All that drifts through it are whisps of cloud and birds.

I put aside my pen to share, and make sense of,

Your burning boundlessness of mind

The clearness of your eye,

Because I cannot capture you in rhythmic verse alone.

Your soul abounds. It spreads its wings and soars.

Each feather of that bird must be but a multitude of thoughts in your clever head

Each cry from that beak a mere whisper from your eternal mouth

And those whisps of vapour, surely, that must be me.

I cannot put aside my pen until I have you written in the stars, love.

I sit, I watch you,

Holding my book for cover,

And you do not notice, engrossed in your mind as you are.

I keep my pen in my hand, distraction,

twilight glinting off its metal nib through the window

And you hold your own, filled with twilight ink,

your fingers stained with it,

your own book smudged with it.

I hold my book as cover for my brazen eyes

and yet I see you there, reclining:

The fullness of your shoulders, the slope of your back,

you lay in the bed, the thinker, perfect.

The heart-stained sheets around your waist.

The orange pillow behind you, sagging slowly.

All I can see is the burnished sun setting beyond the snow-capped peaks.

There is not enough oxygen up here for me.

I cannot set aside my pen until the star charts show your form in constellation, but I am running out of ink.

I used it all to paint the fathomless depths of your eyes.

And while I was distracted you came close

and tried to warn of danger

But, perhaps, I think you are the true danger:

your hands are near.

Your fingers sink into fur

do you think it is snow?

Or do you somehow seek warmth?

You are so rash. You are the sun-bird.

I have little warmth to give, yet you persist,

and you are more dangerous than a snow bridge.

You are here, and proud of it, and I cannot set aside my pen.

We have spoken much. Recited ancient history,

performed ancient literature.

I should not know poetry.

And yet, I see a verse, and I am struck, when you are gone—

how I wish to see the little boat she of Ise rows

as you fly beyond the mountains without me.

I cannot bear not knowing when I shall see you again.

But back you paddle,

radiant, rising,

and I should not know poetry.

But you have given me a pen.

But, I suppose

the most human thing of all

is the attempt to write the knowledge

of seeing another's soul.

Aaaaaahh you actually did it!!! Yes, it was my order and I... indeed need to sit down... or better lay down actually...

Thank you so much for sharing, that's beautiful! 😭💙 Maybe there's something wrong with me, but to me it doesn't sound down or sad, quite heartfelt, wholesome and full of love actually?? (says the person found curled on the floor in the pool of tears)

Writing Box with Eight Bridges

Eight bridges design based on chapter 9 of The Tales of Ise, depicting iris flowers and wooden bridges.

[rhythe]

Was reading flower symbolism for the gen 9 characters.

So Drayton is associated with unrequited love.

Kakitsubata means “noble”, “yearning”, and “happiness surely awaits”. The third meaning seems positive until you see the explanation behind it. A bouquet of Kakitsubata flowers is more of a consolation to one waiting on unreturned feelings than a promise of happiness.

“Noble” alludes to his family background. But the other two thirds are about one-sided feelings, as Tales of Ise references.

(I’m not writing a whole literature analysis though, please spare me. Opelucid gym has a zigzag bridge and that’s all I can say.)

I just think Drayton is down pretty bad for a specific someone.

Or maybe it’s a metaphor for his life in general, if you’d rather see it that way.

[tanuki-kimono]

Fantastic openwork embroidery for this summer kimono depicting Hagi (bushclover) and kakitsubata (rabbit ear iris) by a yatsuhashi (zig-zag bridge).

Bridge and iris reference a famous poem in the Tales of Ise hinting at longing and melancholic love.

Nobunaga rages in Kyoto over rulership of Ise Province

More interesting narrative from Crasset's book.

But some days after an unhappy and tragical Accident turned all this Joy into Mourning and Tears. For Nobunanga, who never play'd but a sure game, seeing all the Nobility of Japan Assembled together at Meaco, resolved to make use of this occasion, and gave out, that he intended: to invest one of his Children with the Kingdom of Ixe. The Lords of that Country, who had a kindness for their Prince, did not at all relish his Proposals as was expected, but seem'd quite averse to them, which put him into so outragious a passion, that he took Thirty of them and Beheaded them, without regard to farther Process, He also put to Death seven considerable Lords in the Kingdom of Xamaro. And tas'd their Houses on suspicion that they had not favour'd his Interest. These severities made him dreaded by all, and seeing he was pleased to favour the Chriſtians, none durst give the least disturbance for fear of incurring his displeasure.

(page 358 of Book 1)

This took place "some days after" the grand parade that Nobunaga put on in Kyoto in 1581. The Europeans were invited to the event, and they had a church in Kyoto besides, so if this incident happened in public they might have been direct eyewitnesses of it.

The Shinchoukouki naturally made no mention of such a thing happening, but that book is indeed one that is rather heavily "censored".

This is a curious incident, because Japanese accounting gave me the impression that Nobukatsu and Nobutaka already had taken over the headship of their respective adoptive families some years prior, and thus already share leadership of the province of Ise as of 1581.

Not to mention that, as I quoted in a previous post a section of the book, Nobutaka was introduced as "King of Ixe". That part comes before this part. This doesn't seem to make very much sense.

The first possibility was that this might have been narrated second hand, and the person writing this account somehow got the names in this incident muddled. Perhaps Nobunaga was actually talking about a completely different province.

I'm not certain what else was there to dispute about in Ise after the raid on the Kitabatake family, which had happened in 1576. After Nobukatsu assumed the headship of the family, Nobunaga ordered the purge of many of the Kitabatake family members for reasons that I'm not entirely clear of (there are many tales I saw, but no proper source). After that, by all accounts Ise was already under the control of Nobunaga's sons (Nobutaka supposedly took over the Kanbe family even earlier).

The other possibility is that what Nobunaga wanted was to restore the Oda surname to his sons, since at the time they were still using the names of their adoptive families, Kanbe and Kitabatake. Surnames are considered more important than bloodline, so the clans might have previously begrudgingly accepted Nobunaga's sons taking over the headship, because the names were at least still preserved. However, if they return to their Oda surname, the Kanbe and Kitabatake names would be lost, and the vassals would naturally object to it.

It still doesn't explain why Nobutaka was already "the King of Ise" when he was introduced, but maybe these are based on multiple texts that were not in proper chronological order.

What province was "Xamaro" supposed to be is a bit hard to parse, but my guess is that it's Yamato, based on how a Portuguese map had labelled Totomi as "Ioromi" (this makes me very much curious of how spoken Japanese sounds like circa the Sengoku). Yamato Province borders Ise, so it would be understandable that they might have also put forward objections and get caught in the fire.

What is the Road finally to go?:  Ariwarano Narihira's Farewell Song(Essay)

Ariwarano Narihira(在原業平)

@I've heard that it's the road to the day, but I don't think it was yesterday and today

This is recorded in Kokin Wakashu and The tale of Ise (125th stanza) as a poem of Ariwara no Narihira's death. I can't help but think that tomorrow will come as usual, but tomorrow won't come, and today, right here, my life will end. The picture shows Narihira somewhat lamenting.

When he was young, he was active in love, travel, and political activities. When it comes to the end of his life, he can't come up with any particularly good insight, and he only has the emotions of a commoner. He will be swallowed ... It is real around here.

Speaking of farewell poems, I have previously listed various people's farewell poems in my past logs. It's interesting to see things with momentum here and there.

@ Both the aggressor and the aggrieved are pottery, after being crushed, the original clay remains

Dosun Miura   Muromachi military commander

It's filled with a kind of resignation.

@ If he falls me, I should pierce the cauldron of hell and cause a loss to the foolish demon of hell

Jurozaemon Mizuno Samurai of Edo "Kabukimono"

　　It's just the face of Picaresque.

At that time, I also made one.

@ If I look around as you divide the world, I will know the reason why I exist

...It's a pretty cool song, but when I'm on the brink of death, can I still be in this state? ...I'm not sure.

If death came to me suddenly and my blog was aborted, how would I give up? Of course, the fact that many stories have been uploaded means that my thoughts and sensibilities have generally been conveyed to the readers, and it can be said that the blog that I wrote until my death is complete. maybe. Mathematically, my blog is a "fractal". "A figure whose parts are equal to the whole"...the parts imply the whole, and the whole imply the parts.
