はじめに
オリジナルの謡い舞いを始めた私は、使用するお面を、自分で作ろうとして創作に取り組むようになりました。ああでもない、こうでもないと、あれこれ試行錯誤するうちに、妖怪関係の方々にご縁がつながって、妖怪面を創りはじめます。
お面仲間の柿元さん@KU5i6HUks0PGyVEにつないでいただき、gallery魔法の生活の天神さやかさん@tenjin_1に創作絵本を常設していただくようになりました。
初期の絵本と作品集は、はがき大の小さく薄いものでしたが、気に入ってお迎えくださるかたに励まされて、創作を続けることができました。
アマゾンブックで本を販売させていただくようになって、また夢が叶いました。
この本は、初期作品集に続く、作品集その2となっております。
創作張り子は、ラップの芯と梱包用紙を使った立体に発展しました。
しんぽうなおこさん@shinpo_yukにご指導いただき、粘土面も作っています。
独学の土笛は、音の出し方を忘れないよう、不定期に制作しています。
機会を与えて支えてくださった皆さんに、また自由に取り組むことを許してくれる、寛容で冷静沈着な夫に感謝を込めて。

Introduction
After starting my own original
chanting and dancing, I began creating my own masks. After much trial and
error, I made connections with people involved with yokai and began making
yokai masks.
Through a connection with fellow
mask enthusiast Kakimoto-san @KU5i6HUks0PGyVE, I was able to get my creative
picture books permanently exhibited at Gallery Magical Life's Tenjin Sayaka
@tenjin_1.
My initial picture books and
collections were small, postcard-sized works, but the encouragement from those
who loved them encouraged me to continue creating.
Selling my books on Amazon Books
has made another dream come true.
This book is my second
collection, following on from my earlier one.
My original papier-mâché pieces
have evolved into three-dimensional works using plastic wrap tubes and packing
paper.
With the guidance of Shinpo Naoko
@shinpo_yuk, I'm also making clay masks.
I am self-taught and make clay
flutes on an irregular basis so that I don't forget how to make sound.
I would like to express my
gratitude to everyone who has given me the opportunity and supported me, as
well as to my tolerant, calm, and collected husband who allows me to work
freely.

あとがき
不思議な経験が続いた一時期、私は祝詞を暗記したいと思うようになりました。
耳慣れない祝詞を覚えるために、曲をつけようと思い立ちます。
それが、私が作曲に取り組むきっかけでした。
歌いながら祝詞を覚えるうち、舞いを舞うようになりました。
自由気ままに舞いを舞ううち、衣装を作るようになりました。
やがて、お面を作るようになってまいります。
文章を書いて本にすることも、面白くなってきました。
我ながら、幸せなアラカンだと思います。

Afterword
After a period of strange
experiences, I began to yearn to memorize the norito prayers.
To help memorize the
unfamiliar norito prayers, I decided to compose music.
That was my first foray
into composition.
As I memorized the norito
prayers while singing, I began to dance.
As I continued to dance
freely, I began to make costumes.
Eventually, I began making
masks.
I also began to enjoy
writing and publishing my work in books.
If I may say so myself, I
consider myself a happy person in my 60s.
