９月８日（木曜日）２０２２
晴れの日かと思えば翌日は曇り空から雨が降り出したりと、定まらない天候の毎日です。空模様を見ながら買い出しに出かけて帰ってきたところへ裏のMさんご夫妻が背の高いススキの束を持ってきてくださいました。明日９日は多賀大社の秋の古例祭で１１日（日）は布谷史人さんのマリンバ演奏会。店に飾るものがあったほうがいいとMさんの優しいお心遣いです。９月に入って座敷の床の間は永源寺で染飾活動をなさっていた故野田浩二さんの暖簾を掛けましたが、月をイメージするデザインにススキを飾りたいと思っていたところでした。家中で一番大きい壺にいただいたススキと斑入りの葉を入れました。秋らしい床の間です。
The weather conditions have been unstable, for example it was cloudy, then rainy after a sunny day. Today, I looked up at the sky and judged that it would not rain, so I went to some shops in Hikone. When I came back, Mr. and Mrs. M came to me holding a bunch of tall pampas grass. They said that Sep.9th is the day of the annual fall festival of Taga Taisha and the 11th is F.Nunoya's marimba concert day and I need some decoration in the cafe. What a thoughtful gift they gave!
I hung the artwork by K.Noda in the alcove at the beginning of September. Mr. Noda, who was a dye artist in Eigenji passed away three years ago. The design of this artwork is the moon, so I just wanted to put pampas grass beside it. Indeed, it was perfect timing. I hope that many people will enjoy autumn and this decoration.
