Lyric

Inoribi

Shinsekai

今宵灯を手に集まりぬ

微かなる色に耳を澄ませ

流れゆくは灯のみならず

たゆたふ我が思ひ

いま一度と願ふとも

先に見し夜も今の夜も

ひとつとして留まらず

今をいかで掴まむや

闇を裂きて花とひらく

顕れてはたちまちに消ゆ

されど確かに在りしものの命

な消えそ

移ろうものを追ふことは

すでに流れのうちにあり

祈りの灯を見送りて

また来年と帰りゆく

掴まずともよしと知りて

水の流れは心地良く

我もまたそのひとしずく

無常の世で息をするのみ

(我もまたそのひとしずく無常の世で息をするのみ)

水面に映る魂の

いたづらにも夢のごとし

    Inoribi

    Shinsekai

"Meiwa no Mori" is a soba noodle shop run by a gardener in Meiwa Town, Ora District, Gunma Prefecture.
The shop hosted a special Obon event called "Inoribi" (Prayer Lights) -- a shared moment of prayer dedicated to expressing gratitude for nature's blessings and honoring one's ancestors.
I composed this piece specifically for the event, centering on the theme of the importance of focusing on the present moment.
It is my hope that this music resonates within your heart whenever you feel uncertain about your inner state.
