旧暦五月二十八日は在原業平の命日（825-880；天長2-元慶4）。五十六歳で没した。平安時代前期の歌人。六歌仙の一人。在五中将と称された。美男であったという。漁色家だったともいう。いわば日本のドンファンと言うところだ。平安時代の作者不明の恋愛短編小説集『伊勢物語』の作者ではないかと、当時から推測されたようだ。
私はこの『伊勢物語』のなかの「梓弓」と「筒井筒」について、ブログ日記4月10日および4月12日（英語版）に私解を書いた。この私解は、古典文学研究者がいままで誰も言っていないと思う。私は従来の解釈の誤りを指摘したのである。
さて、きょうの業平忌にちなんで詠んだ俳句を四つ・・・
貴公より長命二十業平忌 青穹（山田維史）
独り寝の老の寝覚めや業平忌
老の身に枕侘びしき業平忌
腰折れが腰折れ句詠む業平忌
May 28th of the linar calendar is the anniversary of
the death of
Ariwara no Narihira (825-880 ; Tencho 2 -
Gangyo 4). He died at the age of fifty-six. A
tanka poet
of the early Heian period. He was one of
Rokkasen (The
great six
tanka poets of
Heian period). He was also
called
Zai Go Chujo (Ariwara the Fifth grade Lieutenant).
He was said to have been a beautiful man, and also said
to have been a Don Juan tipe man. It seemed that he
was supposed to be the author of the short story col-
lection "
Ise Monogatari (
Ise Stories)" of unknown author
in the
Heian period.
I wrote my own solution about "
Azusa Yumi" and
"
Tsutsuizutsu" in this "
Ise Monogatari" in myblog diary
April 10th in Japanease, and April 12th in Engrish).
I don't think any classical literary researcher has ever
said the same thing as my unraveling. I pointed out an
wrror in the interpretation of conventional researchers.
By the way, my four
haiku poems that were written
after today's business mourning ...
