つきのよすが ゆめのほとり
まれびと来たりて 鈴を鳴らす
ねずのまつりは 百のとき越え
いにしえの 婚の唄
朝影さして 野辺に佇む
我が娘 いまぞ とつぎ路を行く
強き婿を 授からましと
風の八百万に 願をかけん
日の神仰ぎて そを問ふも
われは雲に 遮らるるもの
雲は言の葉 「風こそ強し」
風はささめく 「壁には敵わぬ」
こえよ こえよ こえよを連ねよ
神々しき 婚の儀なれば
まよひの夜を 火垂らし照らせ
ゆめの奥処に 導かれし
壁に問えば 鼠こそ穴を穿つ
しるしの如く 円る縁
最と強きは 最と近きもの
ともに穴を住みし あの若鼠
なれと共に 露と消ゆとも
掌には 灯一つ
我が婚ぎ路を 照らすに足るを
なにを争ふ 強さならむや
こえよ こえよ こえよを結べよ
神も妖も 耳を澄ませ
すべては巡り 鼠に還る
よろずの世にて 祝ぎの夜
鈴の音 ことこと
娘 月の影 ふらふら
婚ぎの灯よ 千夜にまでも

Tale of the Night Mouse Celebration (Original)
Echo Scroll
"The Mouse's Wedding" is a folktale passed down across various regions of Japan, telling the story of a small mouse about to get married.
When choosing a groom for his daughter, the father mouse wishes to "marry her to the strongest in the world" and first asks the Sun. But the Sun replies, "I cannot defeat the clouds," the clouds say, "I cannot defeat the wind," and the wind replies, "I cannot defeat the wall."
Finally, when he asks the wall, the wall responds, "It is the mouse who digs holes in me."
In the end, the mouse is the strongest, and the daughter marries a young mouse of her own kind.
This story teaches us what true strength is.
It is not the grand, distant power that matters, but the small, close presence, reminding us that the happiness we seek is already within our own hands.
