Bonsai



 「なあ、千重子、楠て、お父さんも、よう知らんけど、暖かい土地、南国の木やないのやろか。熱海とか、九州とかでは、そら、さかんなもんや。ここのは老木やけど、大きい盆栽みたいな感じせえへんか。」
「それが、京都やおへんの? 山でも、川でも、人でも……。」と、千重子は言った。

“Chieko, I don’t know much about them, but don’t camphor trees
grow in warm climates? Aren’t they southern trees? They flourish
in places like Atami or Kyushu. These are surely ancient trees, but
they look like oversized bonsai, don’t you think?”
“Isn’t that the way it is with Kyoto? It’s the same with the
mountains and rivers . . . and the people too?” Chieko said. .
