この題名は、繁みに隠れて遊んだ子供の頃の懐かしい記憶を思い起こさせる。私の中に記憶として蓄積されたものがあるとすれば、近くの公園でぼうぼうと生い茂る草木の高さや、風もないのにさざめく木々にはっとして空を見上げたことなど、とるにたらぬ体験だが、子供心には怖かった。あれから街並はどんどん整備され、人にとっての理想社会が求められ築かれて行く一方で、忘れられていく風景も多い。忘れ去られた公園や、使われなくなった橋の一隅には、消えゆく運命への静かな諦観が宿っているように思える。
This title evokes nostalgic memories of hiding and playing in the thicket as a child. If there is anything that has been stored in my mind as a memory, it is the experience of looking up at the sky in a nearby park to see the height of the overgrown grass and trees, and the rustling of the trees even though there was no wind. It was an insignificant experience, but it scared me as a child. Since then, cityscapes have been improved and an ideal society for people has been sought and built, but there are many forgotten landscapes as well. In the corners of forgotten parks and disused bridges, there seems to be a quiet resignation to a vanishing fate.
