This is an EL (Earth Language)
experimental page to enjoy
the image/meaning of a short poem originally
in English/Japanese.
When you can't see the Japanese parts,
please don't mind and just skip those parts.
地球語の文字や文字絵を用いて詩的表現や翻訳を試みる実験のページです。
For this time, I chose one from several of haiku sent by Ms. Sadako Okamoto in Yokohama.
Since I'm carrying such a large and heavy thing like EL for 15 years, watching this ant with Sadako, I admire and envy its agility.
For this chance, I additionally made some trial picture-like symbols for various insects. What do you think? Are they hard to distinguish for you? Please let me know.
今回は、横浜のおかもとさだこさんがお送りくださった俳句から一句とり上げさせていただきます。
蟻が自分の数倍もの大きな羽などを背負って歩く姿・・わたしも身に余る大きな荷物（地球語）を担いで１５年もとぼとぼ歩いてきたので､蟻の進む迅さ、たくましさにうらやましい思いでさだこさんの蟻を観ました。
この機会に、いろんな虫の象形重ね文字を試作しました。いかがでしょうか？ご意見をお聞かせ願えれば幸いです。
