猛暑の日々、サルスベリから得る色彩美

　写真のうち上の赤が私の庭で咲いてるサルスベリで、白とピンクは倉賀野町をウォーキング中に撮ったサルスベリです。サルスベリは、このように色彩が異なる品種があることも不思議ですが、「思いのまま」の花梅のように、1本の樹木で紅白に咲き分けてるサルスベリも目にします。私の近所の庭先には１本のサルスベリに三色が咲き、誠に不思議です。

　それにしても、自然界にはいろいろの色彩があります。庭ではこの他、芙蓉や、それに似てるハイビスカスも赤や白、黄色などの大きな花があり、色彩的に豊かです。早春に咲く花梅は概してピンクが多いですが、そのピンクも微妙に異なる多種のピンクです。

　色彩と言えば、音楽では楽器が異なると、特に管楽器では全く音色が異なり、それぞれ個性的で、聴けばすぐに何の楽器か分かるものです。これらの音色が混ざると更に新たな音色の世界が生まれます。音楽の音色も、花の色彩も人の心を豊かにしてくれます。

　両親の年になり、近年、私が植物に夢中なのはあるいはこの多種の色彩に魅せられてるからかもしれません。特に５月に咲く赤紫の藤、自然の色彩を醸し出す日本シャクナゲ、どちらかと言えば華美な西洋シャクナゲなどは、個性ある色彩美を表し、日々感銘です。人間の私は、色彩は表現できなくとも、一度きりの人生、いろいろの場面で「人間としての喜びを会得したい」ものです。もうあまり時間がない。植物から「生き生きした表現力」を学びたい。

Dear my friends abroad

　The simultaneous interpretation for your understanding will be after my radio gymnastics held in the nearby park and breakfast in Japan time.

　In the photo above, the red one is a Crape Myrtle blooming in my garden, and the white and pink were taken by me while walking in Kuragano-town. It's strange that there are so many different varieties of Crape Myrtle in different colors, but I've also seen Crape Myrtle trees that bloom in red and white, like the "Omoi no mama" flower plum. In a garden in my neighborhood, three colors are blooming at the same time on a single Crape Myrtle, which is truly strange.

　Even so, there are many different colors in nature. In addition to these hibiscus and the similar hibiscus named Fuyo also have large flowers in red, white, and yellow, are making very colorful. The flower plums that bloom in early spring are generally pink, but there are many different pinks that are subtly different.

　Speaking of colors, in music, different instruments, especially wind instruments, have different unique tone qualities and we can tell what instrument they are when we listen to them. When these tones are mixed together, a new world of tone quality is born. The sound of music and the colors of flowers are similar in common, and they enrich the human soul.

　Currently I'm as old as my diseased parents, I've become fascinated with plants in recent years, perhaps because I'm fascinated by the wide variety of colors of plants. In particular, the red-purple wisteria that blooms in May, the Japanese rhododendron that exudes natural colors, and the rather showy Western rhododendron all display unique chromatic beauty and impress me every day. As a human being, even if I can't express color, I want to "acquire the joy as a human" in various situations while my one life. I don't have much time left. I'd like to learn "vibrant expression" from plants.
