私のコンピュータは、北東側の窓辺に置いた。 |
太平洋を臨む晴海埠頭を見て育った私は、
この10年間を瀬戸内海の小さな湊町で過ごした。
内海の静かな海を見ながらも、
私はそろそろ東京に戻ろうと考えていた。
夫の仕事も一段落し、
いよいよ東京の家探しという時点で、それは起きた。
夫が行きたい次の土地が東京と逆方向、それも沖縄とは!
人生とは実に、不思議なものだ。
小学校の教科書に書いてあった沖縄は、
遠い遠い小さな島で、美しい海に囲まれている王国だった。
そしてテストには、戦争と米軍の問題が出た。
”いいよ”
世界の何処ででも、生きて行ける。
2011年8月末、私達家族は、関西から琉球の国へと移住。
さて。
これからは、
想像通りの、
想像以上の、
そして想定外の、
「教科書に書いてない沖縄 」を綴って行きたいと思う。
このコンピュータのモニターの向こう側に、
珊瑚礁の海を臨みながら。
To Okinunawa
I grew up near Pier Harumi overlooking Pacific Ocean in Tokyo,
and spent last 10 years in a small village in Setonaikai Sea.
While looking down the quiet inland sea,
I was thinking to go back to Tokyo soon or later.
My husband finished his work and settled down,
At the time, searching a house in Tokyo, it was happened a the last moment.
The direction of my husband wanted to go was opposite to Tokyo.

It was surprisingly Okinawa?!
Life is risky.
Okinawa was written in an elementary school textbook,
as a distant small island, which was a kingdom surrounded by ocean.
I remember the examination was on the war and U.S. military bases.
"Yeach, I may come"
I live anywhere in the world.
August 31, 2011, my family emigrated to Ryukyu Island from Kobe.
Well,
from now on,
as imagination,
more than imagination,
and unexpected,
I will start to write down real Okinawa which is not written on the textbooks.
With overlooking beautiful coral reefs from my house.
