玉響(たまゆら)

これだけ科学が発展して、ほとんどの事が解明出来る時代になっても、スピリチュアルな世界からの、メッセージとして受け止めないとならないような現象もごくわずかですが・・・あります。
ふわり、ふわりと浮かぶ肉眼では見えない光の珠の事を、大和言葉で「玉響」と呼びます。
「玉響」はオーブとも言われ、発生そのものは科学的な現象かも知れませんが、それを動かす力は霊魂によるものだとも言われています。

もう、何年も前の体験です。
嵯峨野にある大覚寺で、イベントがあり暗くなった大沢の池の対岸の灯をカメラに収めようとした時、何枚後かのフェンダーが眩しくて目を閉じないとならない事が起こりました。
それはあまりにも瞬間で儚い輝きが幻のように見えたのに間違いはありません・・・が、やはりまわりは闇夜のままです。
その刹那(せつな)の情景は時間が流れた今も、忘れることは出来ていません。

玉響がよく生まれるという深い森や渓谷、高い山や霧の中の草原、もちろん墓場や野戦場。
そして神聖な空気の神社仏閣・・・。
そんな所に表れたそれぞれの玉響の情景。


インディゴブルーの世界に、抜染で現れる自然の風景にゆらゆら揺れる玉響。
その佇まいを作ってるのは、妖怪達を刺繍してくれる手振り刺繍の職人です。

ずっと、やりたかった玉響の作品です。
心に余韻が残って頂けたら幸いです・・・。

Tamayura

Even in an age where science has advanced enough to explain so much of our world, there are still a few phenomena that seem to transcend logic—moments that feel like messages from the spiritual realm.

In the ancient Japanese language, the tiny spheres of light that gently drift through the air, invisible to the naked eye, are called Tamayura.

Often referred to today as orbs, their appearance may be explained scientifically. Yet many believe that the unseen force guiding them is the presence of spirits.

This is an experience I had many years ago.

During an event at Daikaku-ji Temple in Sagano, I was photographing the lights reflected across Osawa Pond after night had fallen. After taking several pictures, I was suddenly overwhelmed by an intense flash of light—so brilliant that I instinctively closed my eyes.

It lasted only an instant.

A fragile, fleeting radiance, almost like a vision. I have no doubt that I truly saw it, yet when I opened my eyes, the night remained unchanged.

Even now, after all these years, I have never forgotten that single moment.

They say Tamayura often appear in deep forests and secluded valleys, on misty mountain meadows, in cemeteries and ancient battlefields, and in the sacred atmosphere surrounding shrines and temples.

Each place carries its own unique vision of Tamayura.

In this work, tranquil natural landscapes emerge from deep indigo through the art of discharge dyeing, while shimmering Tamayura drift gently through the scene.


Bringing this quiet presence to life is the hand-guided embroidery of our artisan, who patiently stitches each yokai one thread at a time.

This is a work I have long dreamed of creating.

I hope it leaves a gentle, lingering impression in your heart.
