咲くとなんだか特別な気のする蓮の花ですが、台風の被害を避けるため母は仏様に、私は拓画にそれぞれ活用させてもらいました。
開花3日目、炎天下の中真っ赤な顔で大輪の巨椋の曙を拓画しましたが、噴霧する側から乾いてしまいとても難しかったです。何度”お願い”といったことか（お日様や風、はすにです）。墨の成分を調整してなんとか摺りましたがとても薄いので彩色であの綺麗な蓮が蘇ってくれると良いのですが…。
I felt that the lotus flowers were somewhat divine, but to avoid damage from the typhoon, my mother used them for offerings and I used them for Takuga (painting).
I printed a large lotus flower called “Ogura no Akebono” which was in bloom on the third day, with my face reddening in the blazing sun. It was very difficult because the ink dried quickly after spraying. I can’t tell you how many times I said “please” (to the sun, the wind, and the lotus). I managed to adjust the composition of the sumi ink, but it only transferred thinly, so I hope the coloring will bring back that beautiful lotus.
