高齢に度忘れセット寄せ細工

こうれい に　どわすれセット　よせざいく

郁子

郁子のひとくちメモ

歳をとることは、悪いことだけではありません。様々な苦労や経験を経て、知恵もついてきます。だんだん記憶力が衰えてきて、度忘れをすることもありますが、それらが全て相まって、寄せ細工のような味が出てきます。工芸品の寄木細工（よせぎざいく）も、いろいろ違う種類の木を寄せ集めて、味わい深い作品になっています。



with old age comes
gathering wisdom and
weak memory

Getting old isn’t a bad thing. With it comes a wisdom gained through years of struggle and experience. Although one does tend to be forgetful as memory begins to grow weak, when you take everything as a whole, old age resembles the masterful endgame moves in chess or go. It’s kind of like the Japanese yosegi puzzle box, in which many different types of wood are gathered and assembled. There is much to be appreciated within the unique patterns of each arrangement.
