Exhibition It is interesting that the Ukiyo-e and the poem to set. Previously, than when I went to the exhibition of only Ukiyo-e, much was able to experience the fun of ukiyo-e, I think it's because poem had to complement the picture as if it were balloon of comics. Haiku is a tendency to draw out of individuals have seen landscapes and mind is strong but, senryu there is a personality such as tweets to represent the people's voice. Soredakeni, it has been transmitted from the lively poem, to thinking and living the first time of things very realistic of Edo. For example, along with the phrase "named or in fine weather the Suruga town", ukiyo-e, which depict Mount Fuji in the back of the town of Nihonbashi has been decorated. "I say that was crowned with the Suruga for this town that looks good Fuji, but surely wonder named on the day of fine weather with views of the Mount Fuji," but means no silly, such as, someone funny story the origin of the town name, scene you are laughing at everyone say "Yeah," came to mind. When the busy compared to the modern man is not applied also to mind, such as origin of the town name, mind I thought that I wish it rich.
- Did you have a phrase that left an impression on the other.
I think you represent phrase also often the spirit of Edo called "journey diary that also referred to the meet to highwayman." Modern and the difference is that at the time, to travel is a very valuable experience, because there is no camera, it will wrote finely a travel diary. In there, I would write up that was attacked by a highwayman along the way. I though, this phrase rather than tragic feeling, I felt a strong humor, such as those also laughed it unpleasant. What tips to enjoy to live, it does not may lie in such a place. In addition, Ukiyo-e of the composition is freely Hiroshige also, was very impressive. For example, as I looked up squat painting depicting the Nihonbashi, everyone is like the traffic of the landscape holding an umbrella to bird's-eye view, and the picture that drew a large Umanoashi, it is almost drawn in perspective, such as myself has become ant ing. This is also leading to the haiku, for example, I think you and ashtray is placed on a table that several people surround. That can only mediocre phrase if grasped as the "ashtray on the table is placed" the spectacle. However, if looking down from the ceiling grasped as "talking surrounded by all the ashtray", fresh is born point of view, ashtray will also be felt in those meaning deep. In this sense, depending on whether I want to show how he, in the place where Hiroshige is changing the composition boldly is now studying feel a hint to the smell.

- In any opportunity, I think I started haiku.
I started at the time of the first-year junior high school in response to the mother of the impact is a haiku poet. Although initially had asked to see the mother, in too mother to teach diligently, it's my phrase had been replaced by his own words. It is turned into hate, I began to get a look at the postcard in Tokyo of the teacher. The teacher, at that time, but was already in their 70s, said, "I'm the correction made to myself a teenager feeling", it gave us strive to understand my words. Thanks to that, it is the feeling that became gradually fun. But because it was nothing like the child to the haiku is around, it was top secret embarrassed mind (laughs). It means that time is a hobby, but it was a light feeling that "when to quit is also No, by", when the third year of high school, and a male teacher of teachers, so compromise is poor, there is a but Omoinayan very time. At that time, by his own feelings in haiku and sentences, we noticed to be very saved. In the wake of it, haiku for me is not a hobby, I began to be aware that it's something they need to survive.
- What about when was decided trying to haiku to work.
When I was enrolled in the university is not thought at all have confidence to eat in haiku, was the feeling that you try whatever you want anyway four years. I had vaguely thought, "I wonder if made to myself a teacher" in parents was a teacher influence. But from the time of the third year, some of the publications is to write a haiku or a sentence to, "If you write this much amount of, somehow living Do I Ikeru and" has been found a guide that. It from the editors at the time of the publication from Kadokawa Shoten at the time of the 20-year-old the "loneliness of the 17 characters" second Lectionary is, the person who found the Machi Tawara's poet, my Lectionary at the end of the work before retirement It's me to choose. Until then, the But there was not able to have confidence face in yourself are doing haiku is a minor literature, the person who gave me encouragement as the "Bride proudly." In the wake of it, I went on behalf of the bright direction Kufu also a forward-looking. In meeting with that person is to think that "I want to haiku to work", it has continued up to now.
- December last year, it was published the "Soseki's haiku."
Soseki novel just is famous, haiku was not little attention. From the editor who gave an eye on there, I was approached the writing of this book. At first I did not even know me, this is interesting if you read. The first place Soseki is not going to announce, such as letters and wedding gifts to friends, So you can read the haiku there were many among the ties with the people. So, if you are missing the shoulder of the force in a good way, it comes through the warm personality of Soseki. I think that I want to tell such a charm, from among many of haiku, regardless of the historical sense, to choose the 50 clause that can sympathize with the "good Do", was served with interpretation and my phrase. Those who do not be read only novels, I think that I'm sure the image of Soseki change. I had received the impression that I wonder it was a very light and free people.
- What you think is the future, you want to read what haiku.
Haiku is easy to remember, just because something Kuchizusameru, always been able to put in a corner of my heart, I think to be the cornerstone of the order not to lose sight of yourself. This is the phrase of self-made, but when it is likely to lose confidence in yourself, you have to inspire yourself hum the phrase "to the point where Yukeru summer angry waves alone." Then, positively become as "trying to do as far as that can be." Charm might be something like. So you want to read the phrase to become supportive of someone's mind, and I will sincerely think. This year of the end of March, plans to issue for the first time in 10 years Lectionary, now, is in the works pretty fired up. Unlike traditional Lectionary, because going to the same generation that does not know a haiku is the art book-ish book, such as "I think you want to have because it is fashionable", in the wake of the book, especially twenties, haiku in thirties Do you get increasing a person familiar with, and I think.
「前句付」（七・七の題に、五・七・五の句を付けたもの）と呼ばれる俳諧の一種から、五・七・五のみが独立した季語のない短詩。初代柄井川柳（1718〜90）をルーツとすることから、「川柳」と呼ばれるようになった。柄井川柳の弟子である呉陵軒可有（ごりょうけんあるべし）（?〜1788）が川柳の秀句を収録した『誹風柳多留』を編纂して以降、75年間にわたって167編の『柳多留』が刊行され、バイブル的な存在となった。
Shibuya's encounter?Time of elementary and junior high school students, the brother of university student living in Tokyo, I had brought to him many times. So there is an image of a city that comes along with the adults, go on to the University of Tokyo, when it was at any time as come alone, I was happy to feel their own growth. And I look forward to the full extent of the "right to get lost in one person" in Shibuya of town (laughs). Destination well into the hanging around and narrow alley without deciding, to discover the unknown shops and parks. Shibuya, which takes you at any time brought such a meeting.
Shibuya interesting place is?I think that it is a city able to walk to the news the "smell" I Shibuya. Clearly even if you do not remember the road, and are somehow walking in the sense of "here kana", to properly reach the destination, and also or can sometimes find a new location, it is fun in it. For me, it is a city that will the five senses to full rotation. Now it is not visited as much as the student days, from time to time, and stop by in such NHK of work, such as "Do I had brought a friend here," "Do not was the launch in this shop", a lot memories circulates. Somewhat, it is varied shops, I think I've been left stored in the town. So personally, I think that be nice and streets does not change significantly.
Haiku that Otaka Mr. poem the "Shibuya"And clauses that now Otaka's in until the poem the city of "Shibuya" to the stage, will introduce haiku that had you made at the time of this interview.
 If you come junior high school spring break, along with the brother of a university student living in Tokyo in Shibuya, suddenly, the snow has been falling. It was a very pleasant mood, to a child-centered say "" fun "and Do not ingenuity also wrote," is a phrase that poem in the cold feeling (laughs). |
 When a college student, and pass by the front of the fire department of Fire Street, in fire engine is very narrow space, it did walked to slip in the back. I think "Do not cool", involuntarily, was humming this clause. |
 College, after the birth but was playing well in Shibuya, it became not visited remarkably. If there is a gathering of haiku poets when it came to Shibuya night for the first time in a long time, I was reading in feeling a little lonely as "wonder if has become a distant town and myself." |
 Shibuya, where you give me the pleasure to get lost. While being watched to categorically the blue sky of winter, you will want to enjoy the freedom to get lost. |
