『日本百名山』(にほんひゃくめいざん)は、深田久弥の最も著名な山岳随筆。
日本の多くの山を踏破した本人の経験から、「品格・歴史・個性」を兼ね備え、かつ原則として標高1,500 m以上の山という基準を設け、剪定したものが『日本百名山』である。
これには以下のような選定基準がある。
- "山の品格" - 人には人格があるように、山には『山格』のようなものがあるとし、誰が見ても立派な山だと感嘆する山であることを、第一の基準とした。
He has "dignity/history/personality" because he has experienced climbing through many Japanese mountains. And he laid down a criterion for the mountains more than 1,500 meters above sea level as a rule, then "Japan Hyakumei Mountains" is after pruning away.
There is a criterion for pruning below.
The first criterion is the mountain should be a splendid one which was recognized by everyone's admiration because he believes that mountains has "the dignity of mountains" like dignity of human.
The essay is a collection of descriptions of those many mountains of Japan that the author visited himself, in which he combined the "dignity, history, specific character" of each mountain while selecting for his essay only the mountains that were at least 1,500 m high and carefully choosing the material for the essay.
He used the following criteria for the selection [of the mountains] for his essay.
- "The dignity of a mountain" - Just as someone has their own character, a mountain appears to have its own "character of the mountain" and there are mountains that would cause admiration in anyone who would look at them, so he chose this as his first criterion.
" 100 Famous Japanese Mountains" is mountains he selected based on his rules from his experiences climbing lots of japanese mountains. The rule is that mountains should be " dignity, history and individuality" and also more than 1,500m above sea level.
There are some criterions as shown bellow.
- " Dignity of mountain"- Each person has personality, Kuya Hukada thought mountains also their individualities. He made first criterion which mountain should be impressed by anybody.
- "山の歴史" - 昔から人間との関わりが深く、崇拝され山頂に祠が祀られている山であるというような山の歴史を尊重し、第二の基準とした。
- "個性のある山" - 芸術作品と同様に、山容・現象・伝統など他には無いような顕著な個性をもっていることを、第三の基準とした。
また、「深田本人が登頂した山であること」が絶対条件となっており、少年の頃から約50年の間に相当数の山に登っていて多くの山を知っている点に自信を持っていた。
- "the specific character of a mountain" - His third criterion consisted of approaching a mountain as a piece of art, which would have some specific form, some specific phenomena pertaining to it or some specific tradition related to it, so that taken together they would form a clear individual quality of the piece.
And the absolute requirement was that "Fukuda himself climbed this mountain," because ever since his youth and for the following 50 years he has climbed a great number of mountains and many of them he knew quite well and was confident about this.
-" Mountains having their individuality"- Third criterion is that moutons should have their unique individuality such as a shape, a phenomenon and tradition, other mountains don't have.
And " Mountains Kuya Hukada have climbed in actuality" is an absolute necessity. He had have climbed many mountains for 50 years from his childhood and was confident to know a lot of them.
明治神宮の御苑の中に、清正井という都会では珍しい湧水の井戸があります。
水温は四季を通じて15度前後と一定していて、毎分60リットルの水量があります。
ここは昔から「清正井(きよまさのいど)」といわれ当時この地に屋敷を構えていた加藤清正(城造りや干拓のプロで、通称"土木の神"と言われた武将)が自ら掘ったとされています。
長らくの間、水源はどこなのか、またどのようにして流れてきているのかまったく不明でした。
This has traditionally called as "Kiyomasa no ido" and considered to be dug by Kato Kiyomasa (a military commander called as God of civil engineering and was an expert of castle construction and land reclamation).
For a long time, the water supply source and route had been totally unknown.
The temperature is around 15 degrees in all seasons and water gushes 60 liters per 1 minute.
The well has called " Kiyomasa no Ido" since long ago. Kiyomasa Kato sinked this well by himself when he owned his house here. He was a general and a professional of building castles or reclamations. He was called " The god of civill engineer".
It had has not been cleared where is the source and how water is coming for a long time.
一説では、何か特殊な技巧で水が湧出するのだと考えられ、一旦溜めた水が自然に噴出するような仕組みになっていると思われていました。
そして、そのような特殊な井戸を作れるのは「土木の神様」といわれた清正しかいないとする伝説が生まれたのです。
1938年の水源調査により自然の湧き水であることが判明しましたが、清正本人が掘ったのかは未だ不明のままです。
しかし、他にもこの地には多くの清正伝説があることから、何かしら関係は深いものがあるだろうと伝えられています。
Then that became a legend that only Kiyomasa called "Construction God" could make such special well.
In 1938, it proved to be natural spring water by investigation of souse, but it is unclear whether Kiyomasa himself dug the well.
However, there are many other legends in this area, so it says there will be a close connection.
Then the folk story was created that there was only Kiyomasa, called "the expert at civil engineering," who could make such a specialized well.
By the wellspring exploration in 1938, it had become clear that it is just a natural springwater, but it have been still unclear that the well was drilled by Kiyomasa by himself or not.
However there are many the other legend associated with Kiyomasa around the region, the story goes that there must be some deep connections with Kiyomasa.
And then, the legend has handed down, only Kiyomasa could make this unique well because he was called " The god of civil engineer".
In 1938, it turned out that water is natural spring water by the research of the source. But it's not clear whether Kiyomasa sinked this well or not.
However, there are many other legends of Kiyomasa in this area, people talk about there are some deep connection between Kiyomasa and the well.
初詣の参拝者数日本一の明治神宮は、明治天皇と皇后を祀る神社です。
明治天皇の死後、天皇を崇敬する人々の国民運動により1920年に創建されました。
今や都心のオアシスとなっている広大な杜は元々あったものではなく、神社の建立時に100年後の完全な自然林化を見据えて植樹されたものです。
明治神宮は2020年に100周年を迎えますが、相当早いペースで緑が生い茂ったそうで、100年を待たずに完全な自然の森になりました。
しめ縄をされた大きな御神木の周りには数多くの絵馬がかけられています。
It was established in 1920, during the national public movement caused by the Emperor Meiji's worshippers after his death.
Trees in the huge shrine, which is known as an urban oasis, were not originally there but planted when the shrine was established. They were expected to make a perfect natural forest after 100 years.

それもそのはず、目地神宮は富士山から皇居へ向かう龍脈(地中を流れる気のルート)が合流する土地にあり、大地の気がみなぎる強力なパワースポットにあたると言われています。
明治神宮の特徴として、多くの神社にみられる吉凶付きの「おみくじ」が存在せず、通常のおみくじのように境内に結んで残すことはありません。
代わりにくじを引き「大御心」として授かり、参拝者はこれを持ち帰り詠み返すものとされています。
このくじには天皇の詩文や和歌とその解説文が記述してあります。
One feature of Meiji Shrine is that there is no "paper fortune" telling good or bad luck, which many shrines have. So people will not tie their paper forture on the branches of the shrine.
Instead, they draw the lotteries and take them to their homes as "large mind", and read them again.
The poetry and waka (Japanese verse) of the Emperor and the explanation of them are written on this lottery.
すみませんが下から2行目の文を"Instead, they draw lotteries and take them to their homes as "Omikokoro (large mind)", and read them again."に変更お願いします。
As a feature of Meiji Shrine, they don't have " Omikuji" with good or bad luck like other shrines have. People can't leave Omikuji tying up on the shrine precinct like usual shrine.
Instead of that, people pick a ticket and get it as " Oomikokoro" , take it back to their house and read them.
There are Emperor's poetry and waka which is japanese traditional poetry on it . And also there is their examination.
なお、47すべての都道府県から選んだわけではなく、百名山の存在しない都道府県も、西日本を中心に16府県に及んでいる。及第すれすれの山を選ぶ心情を「愛する教え子を落第させる試験官の辛さに似ていた」と述べている。
日本では、この本を通じて今まで知らなかった日本の山々の魅力を知り、自分もこれらの山に登ってみようという「日本百名山ブーム」が起き、現在も継続している。
登山者のバイブルとなっているこの本を叩き台として、自分のお気に入りの日本の山々を開拓していくといいだろう。
