世間が金環日食だとか、次回6月6日に起こる金星の太陽面通過だと騒いでいる。私には金(きん)の2文字がどうも頭から離れない。749年続日本紀によれば、陸奥の国つまり現在の宮城県に日本で初めて金が発見されたのである。当時の天皇であった聖武天皇は歓びを元号に示し、天平感宝に改元したほどだ。それから年月が流れ、パルコポーロが日本を「黄金の国ジパング」と紹介した事を知っている人も多いと思う。これはあながち伝説でもなかったのである。2回に渡る蒙古襲来の原因も実は日本の「金」なのである。

 

Translation


People around the world are noisy about the annular eclipse this time or the transit of Venus along the surface of the sun on coming June 6. But my head is rather preoccupied with gold (composed of two letters in Japanese: pronunciation of “KIN”). According to Shoku Nihonn-ki in 749 (Japanese nearly oldest book), it is said that gold was first discovered in Mutsu-no-Kuni (present Miyagi prefecture). Emperor Shomu (at that time emperor) was so glad that he changed the era name to Tenpyo-kanho after the name of precious gold. Time went on from then, and a famous story that Marco Polo introduced Japan as a “Country of gold – Zipangu” is well known. This story was not a mere legend. The reason for the two times attack of Menggu to Japan was in fact Menggu’s ambition aiming at gold of Japan.

Original Text

Since I was small , my dream was to become an astronomer (Never thought to be an astronaut, due to asthma at childhood). But soon when I grew up, my dream completely changed due to meeting the Japanese otaku culture.

As said, “My Dream” can be such a vague term, and it can also be easily changed from different time and space. However, the thing that haven’t been changed until now is my gut feeling to peruse my dream. And it is very often that a dream that can be named as a dream, is because it is not easy to achieve. The deep meaning of Staryume , is to let the dream in my life come true , no matter if it is as far like a star on the sky, and here is the place to record and share everything about it.

Translation

小さかったので、私の夢は天文学者になることだった(宇宙飛行士などとんでもないことだった、喘息だったから)しかしすぐに私は大きくなり、日本のオタク文化と出会うことで私の夢は完全に変わってしまった。

いわゆる”私の夢”とはとてもあやふやな言葉だから、場所と時間でコロコロ変わる。しかしながら、今までずっと変わらなかったものは私の夢をよく調べたいという激しい感情だった。なぜ夢が夢と呼ばれるのかという理由はそれを達成するのが容易ではないからだ。Staryumeという言葉の深い意味は私の人生の中で夢を実現するということだ。それが空の星のようにどんなに遠くにあっても。そしてそれについてすべてのことを記録して共有する場がここにある。
