Nakamura Shinkyo, the doll maker of Fukuoka giving shape to people's prayers.スケッチを描く前にもうそこに、 あの、 自分が構築した、 その、 作品像というのが出来てるんですけど、
Before drawing a sketch, I've already, well, built an image of the piece.もう後は作業ですね。
The rest is just work.匠の蔵。
The artisan's treasury.福岡市の閑静な住宅街で、 中村は弟子達と共に人形を作っている。
In a quiet residential estate of Fukuoka City, Nakamura and his apprentices are making dolls.この段階で、 一番苦労されるところっていうのはどういうところですか?- そうですね...
At this stage, what is the most difficult spot? -Let's see...ここが生きているかどうかっていうので、 こう下向いたりするとこう、 今まさに上を向いてこうしてる。
Whether or not this here is alive or not, if he's looking down like this and right now, he's definitely looking up like this.もう今の本当ちょっとの、 あの、 角度で全然違った表情に見えますね。
Just now, you can really see completely different expressions because of the angle.先代、 先々代から受け継いだヘラは、 百年以上使い続けられている。
The pallet inherited from the former master and former former master has kept being in use for more than 100 years.指である程度彫って、 指で彫れない所を、 細かい所を作っていくので、
Sculpt to a certain degree using fingers. For areas that fingers cannot sculpt, (the tools) will keep making them, so全部大体、 指の延長線上の形をしてますね。- はあ。
everything is usually shaped as an extension of the fingers. -Yes.先代に一度も褒められたことがない中村。
Nakamura has never been commended by the former master.亡くなる間際に受け継いだものがあるという。
It is said something is passed on at the last moments of death.だから、 それは右手を握って、 死ぬ時に右手を握ってあげるので、 それで渡す。
So, that's passed on holding the right hand, holding the right hand when dying.相手の目に見えないことが大事なんだ、 と。 その時に渡してやるから、 って言うんですね。
What cannot be seen by the other is the important thing. I'll pass it to you at that time, it was said.長男、 弘峰は、 技を磨くだけでは越えられないものを父親に感じている。
His eldest son Hiromine feels something in his father that he cannot surpass by just honing his skills.ま、 お前の形はよく出来ているけど、 それを見た人が感動するかどうかっていう見方でも自分の人形を見なさいという風に言われるんで、
Well, "Your shape is well made, but see your own dolls in this way, whether it will touch someone looking at it," was what had been said to me.でも、 ま、 結局、 お前ができるようになるのは俺が死んだ後に渡してからじゃないとできんけどな、 みたいな話になります。
"But, well, in the end, you'll come to be able to do it after I die and pass it on. Otherwise you won't be able to do it." It became something like that.中村人形は右手と共に脈々と受け継がれていく。
Nakamura's dolls are passed on continuously with the right hand.九州は一つ。
