231031 北方謙三さんと廊下の本棚

北方謙三さん
久しぶりにYouTubeで拝見しました

全く接点はナいモノの
遠くのオジサンのような
勝手な親しみをもって
昔から感じておりました

それには理由がありまして

生家には当然トイレがあり
父は扉を開け放ち
用を足すのです

多分に漏れず僕ら男共も
父の背中を見る訳で
小さなカラダで
その生活様式を真似るのです

父がトイレに居る時
僕らはトイレ前の廊下を
視ぬように歩いて通過するスタイル

用を足す側は
トコトン開放的な視界で
用を足すのです

トイレの扉の向かいの
廊下には本棚があり
そこに父の蔵書が列んでいて

便器に座して
正面を視ると
ちょうど其処に
北方謙三さんの作品が
列んで居るのです

231031 Kenzo Kitakata and the bookshelf in the hallway

I saw Kenzo Kitakata on YouTube for the first time in a while.

Although there is no connection at all
With a sense of intimacy, like an old man from far away.
I've felt it for a long time

There's a reason for that

Naturally, there is a toilet in the birthplace.
My father leaves the door open and relieves himself.

There are probably no leaks
All of us men are watching our father's back.
We imitate that lifestyle with our small bodies.

when my father is in the bathroom
We walk through the hallway in front of the toilet without looking at it.
Those who relieve themselves can do so with a wide open field of view.

There is a bookshelf in the hallway opposite the toilet door.
My father's collection of books is lined up there.
When I sit on the toilet and look straight ahead, it's right there.
Kenzo Kitakata's works are lined up.
