作品の文章＝＝＝
幼少期、夏休みに祖母の住む田舎を訪れた時の話だ。私は親戚の子供や、近所の子供と六人で遊んでいた。母に呼ばれ、みんなでおやつを食べようとすると、おやつは五人分しかない。

「お母さん、おやつが一個足りないよ」「何を言っているの、五人分ちゃんとあるわよ」「五人じゃないよ。六人だよ。ほらあそこに和服の女の子が…あれ？」「そんな子いないじゃない。変な子ね。さっさと食べて遊んでらっしゃい」「…さっきまでそこにいたのに。帰っちゃったのかな」

後でこの話をすると、祖母はこう言った。
「それは座敷童子かもしれんね。子供には見えるが大人には見えない妖怪さ」
恐ろしそうな顔をする私に祖母は続けた。
「怖がることはないさ。この家に住む守り神みたいなもんだよ。座敷童子のおかげで、ばあちゃんはずっと幸せに暮らすことができてるんだよ」

古い家や倉に住み着く子供の姿をした妖怪「座敷童子」。東北地方を中心に、座敷童子の伝承は数多く、現在も続いている。来ると幸福をもらたし、去ると家は廃れていくという。

私が思うに、子供の妖怪を受け入れる寛容さと、小さなことにも幸せを感じる真っ直ぐな心の持ちようが大切な気がする。
幸福になるために座敷童子を探し回るようでは幸福にはなれないだろう。幸福などというものは個人の価値観でしかない。座敷童子はこういった心の持ちようを教えてくれているのかもしれない。

ENG＝＝＝
A movie of yokai(Japanese monster) paintings and music by Shinji Yamashina.
Using traditional Japanese instruments such as the taiko drum, shinobue flute, and shakuhachi (bamboo flute), as well as piano and flute, Yamashina creates a unique world see of yokai using his own drawings of yokai set to traditional and contemporary music.
Recommended for those interested in Japanese yokai, ghosts, ethnicity, and culture.
Please enjoy the world of yokai, which is depicted beautifully, suspiciously, sometimes humorously, and sometimes terrifyingly.

NOTES====
When I was a child, I visited the countryside where my grandmother lived during summer vacation. I played with six other children, some relatives, and some neighbors. When my mother called us all together for a snack, there were only enough snacks for five of us.

I said, "Mother, you are missing one snack for one person."
My mother said, "What are you talking about? There are enough for all five of us."
I said, "Not five. There are six. Look, there is a girl in kimono over there. Is that her?"
My mother said, "There is no such girl. You are a strange boy. Go eat and play."
"She was there just a moment ago. I wonder if she went home."

When I told my grandmother about the girl later.
She said, "That must be the Zashiki-Warashi, a yokai. It's a yokai that children can see but adults can't."
I looked horrified. My grandmother continued.
"Don't be afraid. The "Zashiki-Warashi" is like a guardian god who lives in this house. Thanks to her, I can live happily."

The "Zashiki-Warashi" is a yokai in the form of a child that lives in an old house or warehouse. There are many folklores of Zashiki-Warashi, especially in the Tohoku region, and they can still be found today. It is said that when they come to a house, they bring happiness, and when they leave the house, the family loses happiness.

We need to have a kind heart to accept yokai and a straight mind to feel happiness in small things.
The mind possessed by a person who searches around for a "Zashiki-Warashi" in order to be happy will never be satisfied. Happiness is a personal value. The "Zashiki-Warashi" may be teaching us the importance of a kind heart.
