The delights of plowed ground with " Green " Japanese calligraphy
Summer morning has the feeling of the pulse.
The boiling of the life.
The upbringing continues without cease.
The morning sun gives the power to paddy-rice.
The farmers concentrate wisdom at this moment.
The long history.
Clouds protect us.
The wind. That time.
I will hug the flow.
夏山の 洗ふたやうな 日の出哉
小林 一茶 (1763 - 1827)
In summer mountain such as washed the sunrise comes
Kobayashi Issa (1763 - 1827)
"緑" (ryoku, or midori). It is translated as Green.
This character is written by Kanzi, semi-cursive script.
Etymology : Phono-semantic compound
semantic : 糸 (thread) + phonetic : 录 (record)
万緑の 中や吾子の歯 生え初むる
中村 草田男 (1901 - 1983)
Myriad green leaves my child's tooth began to grow
Nakamura Kusatao (1901 - 1983)
All grows up.
They are our great joy.
This color symbolizes it.
Rice planting Yamaguchi elementary school.
This scene is a rustic farm in remote areas.
The fragrance of the soil forever.

Precioso manto verde lleno de vida y de alimento. No hay palabras para agradecer lo que la tierra nos da.
ReplyDeleteUnas imágenes realmente bonitas.
Un saludo.
Toujours de belles images, merci et je voie que l'apprentissage de la culture commence tôt !
ReplyDeleteDla dzieciaków to świetna zabawa (wiem bo pracuję z takimi maluchami). Jednak dla dorosłych ciężka praca. Z tego co wiem dalej się to robi ręcznie. Podobno wiąże się to z różnymi chorobami ukąszeniami owadów i węży.
ReplyDeletePiękne irysy poniżej.
Pozdrawiam. U mnie jeszcze lipiec.
Amusant ces enfants qui apprennent a planter du riz !!!!
ReplyDeleteDziękuję za wspaniałe wytłumaczenie kolejnego Waszego znaku kaligraficznego. Filmik był cudowny i bardzo dobrze, że dzieci poznają tą ciężką, będą ją szanować. Pozdrawiam.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your excellent explanation of another calligraphic mark. The video was wonderful and a very good thing that children learn the hard, they will respect it. Yours.
Entrañable entrada en torno a la siembra del arroz. Las fotografías son preciosas, me gusta mucho las tonalidades verdes y el bello cielo. Gracias por acercarnos estas tradiciones. Un cordial saludo Ruma, que todo te vaya bien.

Konnichiwa, Ruma :-)
ReplyDeleteWonderful landscape, so beautiful with the contrast beteween shadow and ligth. Brilliant colors as well. Love your shots, not to mention the calligraphy.
Greetings,
Irén
I love summer in Japan's countryside. (Not so much in Tokyo! ^^) So many people complain about the heat and the humidity, but to me summer is green, quiet, tranquil and fertile. The green of the rice paddies is the most intense, beautiful green in the world! Thanks for this lovely post.
ReplyDeleteFoto emozionanti come sempre, semplicità e grandezza del creato. Ottimo.
ReplyDeleteSaluti

梅雨も終わり、夏がやってきました。もうこんなに稲が育っているのですね!青空の下、手に届きそうな真っ白な雲が勢いよく流れて来るようです。
ReplyDelete今近づいてる台風が、南の日本からそれてくれますように。
Very refreshing.
ReplyDeleteThank you, great emotion and beauty in my eyes :)

Fantásticos paisajes!
ReplyDeleteOlá Ruma,
ReplyDeletecomo sempre lindas fotos desse país maravilhoso!
Parabéns e uma ótima semana
You always post such beautiful scenic photos. One of the things I so enjoyed
ReplyDeleteduring my last of two visits to Japan was seeing the rice growing in the prefecture of
Akita. The vast fields of green were so lovely - and the sake made from that rice was
exquisite. My nurse friends from there told me it is the best in all of Japan. I am
not sure about that but it was certainly good!!!
Hope you are well. Here in Jaipur, it has been miserably hot and the long awaited monsoons
have not arrived.
Such vibrant green color – and with the beautiful blue sky above it makes for a perfect day.
ReplyDelete夏ってこんなにすがすがしかったのですね!3枚目のお写真の雲が特に素晴らしい!!「眺めはどうだ?」って雲に声をかけてみたくなります。
ReplyDeletekeiko
Beautiful clouds over the fields. Summer sunlight is very bright.
ReplyDeleteExcelentes fotografias....
ReplyDeleteCumprimentos
雄大な景色ですね。緑と山と雲と青い空。夏の強い光の中、稲のなんと力強い成長でしょう。子供達の田植えも楽しそうですね。農業や自然と親しむいい機会ですね。
ReplyDeletePlus magique que jamais, ce pays.
ReplyDeleteMaravillosos campos de arroz, naturaleza, color, belleza. Nubes que deambulan sobre un cielo vibrante de azul intenso.
ReplyDeleteAlegría de los niños que aprenden a sembrar el arroz sobre la madre tierra que nos da sus frutos…
Que tengas un feliz verano Ruma.
Un cálido abrazo
gorgeous impression, my dear friend ...
ReplyDelete"Sommer
Ihr singt von schönen Frühlingstagen,
Von Blütenduft und Sonnenschein,
Ich will nichts nach dem Frühling fragen,
Nein Sommer, Sommer muß es sein.
Wo alles drängt und sich bereitet
Auf einen goldnen Erntetag,
Wo jede Frucht sich schwellt und weitet
Und schenkt, was Süßes in ihr lag.
Auch ich bin eine herbe, harte,
Bin eine Frucht, die langsam reift.
O Glut des Sommers, komm! Ich warte,
Daß mich dein heißer Atem streift.
by Gustav Falke"
my best wishes for you Ruma,
with cordially greetings over the ocean - isabella
