　「二人静」とは良くぞ付けた名だ。
　白拍子の静御前を想っての名だが、白絹の水干のみならず、私は花の形に神楽鈴を想う。日本舞踊の「静御前」あるいは歌舞伎舞踊「二人静」の衣装および持ち道具は、金烏帽子・白水干・緋袴、白鞘の剣に扇、そして終盤に胴に鈴が入っている鈴太鼓で舞い収める。
　この型はいつごろできあがったのであろう。
　私が「二人静」の花の形に神楽鈴を思い浮べるのは、白拍子の起源は諸説あるが、元来が巫女舞いであったとも言われてい、それならば手に神楽鈴を振りながら舞ったと考えるからだ。神楽鈴は、能の演目の最高位である「翁」において用いられるが、振鈴によって神の降臨を仰ぐのである。一般神社で巫女によって舞われる神楽においても用いられている。
　私は、山野草「二人静」はその姿形に単に白拍子静御前の姿を重ねたのみならず、白拍子の起源の巫女の神楽鈴の形象を重ねていると考える。この植物名を思いついた人の詩情と一つの形象（この場合は花の形）が発する多様なイメージを「静御前」一つに集約した教養に、私は感じ入るのだ。

　ところで、すでにすっかり散ってしまった木瓜（ボケ）だが、やはり今朝、たった一輪だけ返り咲いていた。白拍子の緋袴のような、その緋色の花がぽつりと一つ、二人静の方を向いて！

　余録
　午後2時10分、小品が完成した。またまた予定より5日早く終了した。

Tango-no-sekku (Festival of May), but the sky
is cloudy and hot and humid. Our family's annual iris
bath can't buy iris for COVID-19 this time.

However, there is a lot of fun to do, and the wild
flower "Futarishizuka (Chloranthus serratus Chloran-
thus)" that my younger brother planted the other day
bloomed this morning. Even though it is not the same
as a row of the two 5 number on May 5, the double-
flowers flowers like a small white Kagura-bell are
pretty.

"Futarishizuka (Japanese meaning is Two Lady

known name, and good naming. The name is based
on the idea of Lady SHIZUKA as a Shirabyōshi (wan-
dering dancer, but I think of Kagura suzu (Kagura-
dance-bell) in the shape of the flower, as well as in
white silk robe. The costumes and tools of the

"Futari Shizuka" are danced with agold headgear
worn by nobles, and a white silk robe, a scarlet
hakama (pleated skirt), a white sheath sword and
a fun, and a bell drum in the end of dance.
I wonder when this model of the dance's cos-
tumes was completed.
There are various theories about the origin of
Shirabyōshi that I can think of Kagurin in the
shape of "Futarishizuka" flower, but Shirabyōshi
is said that it was originally a shrine maiden
dance. Because I think. Kagura-suzu (Kagurin)
is used in "Okina", the highest performance of
Noh, but uses a bell to look for the coming of
God. It is also used in Kagura danced by shrine
maidens at general shrines today.
I think that the wild flower "Futarishizuka" not
only overlaps the figure of Shirabyōshi Shizuka
gozen in its shape, but also the shape of the
Kagura-suzu of the shrin maiden whose origin
is Shirabyōshi.
I am impressed by the poetic sense of the
person who came up with the name of this
plant and the culture that consolidates the
various images produced by one form (in
this case, the shape of a flower) into one
which is "Lady Shizuka".

By the way, the flower "Bokeh" that has
already shattered completely, but again this
morning only one flower was blooming. One
scarlet hakama like a Shirabyōshi, facing the
Futarishizuka!

Extra record
At 2:10 pm, the small painting was com-
pleted. It ended 5 days earlier than planned.
