ウタはソウルの韓国語読みです。
沖縄のユタのユは土地の言葉で女性を指します。
ユ ジュ 유주のジュは珠(宝玉)のことでもあります。
なので、雪の東北言語では、ユジュですので、雪は女性名詞であり、その宝玉となります。
男性名詞、女性名詞ってこれはフランス語の成り立ちです。
長らく大韓民国のデザイン化粧品等の繊細さと洗練さの中に、私はパリの洗練を見て居たのですが、大韓民国の美しさはやはりアジア大陸に流れて来た、元はフランス寄りのヨーロッパ美術の融合の歴史を持つのではないでしょうか?
では大韓民国の祖である燕国の子孫は、中国大陸にあったフランス租界と呼ばれた区域にも住まれて居た可能性もありますね。
韓国語で雨はピと言います。
雨雪でピユジュです。
この熟語の韓国語は本来存在しないそうです。
ピユジュの響きはフランス語を連想するので、フランス語ではなんと綴るのか調べたら、Piyu-juと表記するのだそうです。
意味は、
Pieux / Pieuse(ピユー / ピユーズ)「敬虔な、信心深い」という意味の形容詞です。 [1]
- 意味: 宗教的な信心深さだけでなく、
un pieux mensongeで「思いやりのある嘘(罪のない嘘)」という決まり文句としてもよく使われます。- 発音: 男性形が
pieux(ピユー)、女性形がpieuse(ピユーズ)となります。 GoogleAI
あめ ゆじゅ とてちてけんじゃ
雨 雪 とてちてけんじゃ
私は曲がった鉄砲玉のように飛び出した。
(無声慟哭 / 宮澤賢治より)
O.先生との対話で、彼女が言っているのは白い花を取って来て下さい、花が見たいと言っているのに、宮澤賢治は取り違えて、アイスクリンを探しに飛び出てしまう。
勿論、貧困に佇む賢治は外の霙雪(みぞれ ゆき)を取りに行く。
先生、私は、どれ程近くに居ても、最期の時間であっても、分かり合えない人間の存在の限界と、相互理解に限りがある哀しさを、宮沢賢治は詩篇の中で最愛の妹の死の描写に重ねたのでは無いでしょうか?
と話すと、先生は驚いておられました。
私は冬の厳しい土地に子供の頃から長く居たせいで、沢山の日本の人々は雨雪(あめゆき)が、アイスクリーム(アイスクリン)の単発想でしか無いのが嫌だと話しました。
雨や雪は大変美しく、それはそれは美しく、雪が多い、氷の雨が降る長い冬であっても、土地に居ながら毎回、美しさが降って来ては息を呑んでいます。とお伝えすると、大変喜んで居られました。
それで私とO.先生にとって無声慟哭は、少し切ない存在になって居ました。
ですが、たまたまずっと言葉から浮かび昇る蝶を追って行くと、
凄まじい事実が、画面の奥から1羽の白く透きとおった蝶となってキーボードを打つ手の甲にそっと止まり、先生はそれを昨日庭から取った白いクリスマスローズによく似た、ドイツの薔薇の上にそっと座らせました。
彼女は、リリイ、白百合を取って来てくれ。と言い、賢治は、空から贈られ続ける白い雪を取りに飛び出したのでしょう。
賢治は、死ぬ前に洗礼を受けたいと申し出た妹の意図をすぐに理解し、あれば百合を、無ければクリスマスローズを、聖体拝受として白い薄い餅と当時翻訳されていた、天国のパンである雪を1すくい差し出し、その冷たさを天上のアイスクリームと記録したのでしょう。
雨も雪も、生涯の恋愛や相手の存在の美しさを敬する言葉として、日本語表現に散見されます。
表記をご覧になってもお分かりのように、散るも見るも雪と雨の美しさが、花や雪、雨、恋や愛を臨む(のぞむ)人の姿や、捉えた瞬間の象を言語に変化させています。
To Pimp a Butterfly は言葉から立ち昇る白い蝶を留めるという訳になりますが、言葉で写真を撮ったのだと思います。
この頃、コンビニで500円前後のワインが並んでいますね。
私はデイリーワインとして、コノスル カベルネ・ソーヴィニヨン ビシクレタ・レゼルバ シビルが気に入りです。
1000円なので、少し高いですが。
スペイン語でビシクレタは自転車という意味なんだそうです。
瓶の緑色のガラスに焼かれているグリーンの自転車をいつも指でなぞって楽しんで居ます。
ラベルの右下にCbileの文字があり、年上の尊敬する友人に調べろと服を引かれて、調べると、スペイン語でスラングという意味なんだそうです。
またこちらはチリワインですので、Cbile、チリ、意味で検索すると、何と!
シビル・ユニオン(チリの制度): チリ共和国では、同性カップルなどに対して法律上の結婚に準じた権利を認める「シビル・ユニオン(市民結合)」制度が2015年に導入されました。
とありました。
雪の冠をかぶった赫い薔薇を想う夜なので、ワインを飲みます。
お休みなさい。

“Uta” is the Korean pronunciation of “Seoul.”
The “Yu” in “Yuta” from Okinawa refers to a woman in the local dialect.
The “Yu” in “Yuta” from Okinawa refers to a woman in the local dialect.
The “Ju” in “Yu Ju” also refers to a jewel (precious stone).
Therefore, in the Tohoku dialect, where “yuki” (snow) is pronounced “Yuju,” “yuki” is a feminine noun and thus represents that precious stone.
The distinction between masculine and feminine nouns originates from French.
For a long time, I saw the sophistication of Paris reflected in the delicacy and refinement of South Korean design cosmetics and other products, but isn’t the beauty of South Korea ultimately rooted in a history of fusion with European art—originally of a French-leaning nature—that flowed into the Asian continent?
So, it’s possible that the descendants of the State of Yan, the ancestors of South Korea, also lived in the area on the Chinese mainland known as the “French Concession.”
In Korean, “rain” is pronounced “pi.”
So, for “rain and snow,” would it be “piyu-ju”?
Apparently, this compound word does not originally exist in Korean.
Since the sound of “piyu-ju” brings to mind French, I looked up how it’s spelled in French, and it turns out it’s written as “Piyu-ju.”
The meaning is,

Rain, Snow—please take to me
I darted out like a ricocheting bullet.
(Silent Lament / From Kenji Miyazawa)
In the dialogue with Professor O., she says, “Please bring me a white flower; I want to see a flower,” but Kenji Miyazawa misunderstands and dashes out to look for ice cream.
Of course, Kenji, living in poverty, goes out to fetch the sleet and snow.
“Professor, don’t you think that in his poetry, Kenji Miyazawa superimposed the limits of human existence—the fact that we cannot truly understand one another no matter how close we are, even in our final moments—and the sadness of the limitations of mutual understanding onto his depiction of his beloved younger sister’s death?”
When I said this, the professor seemed surprised.
I told him that, having lived in a harsh winter climate since childhood, I dislike how many people in Japan view rain and snow solely through the simplistic lens of “ice cream.”
“Rain and snow are incredibly beautiful—truly, truly beautiful. Even during long winters with heavy snow and freezing rain, I’m left breathless every time that beauty falls while I’m there,” I told him, and he was delighted to hear this.
And so, for both me and Professor O., that “silent wailing” had become a somewhat poignant presence.
However, as I happened to keep chasing the butterfly that kept rising from the words,
a staggering reality emerged from the depths of the screen as a single, pure white, translucent butterfly, gently alighting on the back of my hand as I typed. Professor O. then gently placed it upon a German rose that closely resembled the white Christmas rose she had picked from the garden the day before.
She said, “Lily, please bring me a white lily,” and Kenji must have rushed out to gather the white snow that kept falling from the sky.
Kenji must have immediately understood his sister’s intention when she asked to be baptized before she died; he offered her a lily, if available, or a Christmas rose if not, along with a scoop of snow—the “bread of heaven,” as it was translated at the time—as the Holy Communion, and likely recorded its coldness as “heavenly ice cream.”
Both rain and snow appear frequently in Japanese expressions as words that honor the beauty of a lifetime’s romance and the presence of a loved one.
As you can see from the text, the beauty of falling snow and rain—whether observed or scattered—is transformed into language, capturing the figures of those who yearn for flowers, snow, rain, romance, and love, as well as the images of those fleeting moments.
“To Pimp a Butterfly” can be interpreted as capturing a white butterfly rising from words—I believe he took a photograph with words.

As my go-to everyday wine, I really like Cono Sur Cabernet Sauvignon Bicicleta Reserva Civil.
It costs 1,000 yen, so it’s a little pricey, though.
Apparently, “bicicleta” means “bicycle” in Spanish.
I always enjoy tracing my finger over the green bicycle etched onto the green glass of the bottle.
There’s the word “Cbile” in the lower right corner of the label. An older friend I respect tugged at my sleeve and told me to look it up, so I did—and it turns out it’s slang for “Chile” in Spanish.
Also, since this is a Chilean wine, I searched for “Cbile” and “Chile” by meaning—and lo and behold!
Civil Union (Chilean System): In the Republic of Chile, a “civil union” system was introduced in 2015 that grants same-sex couples and others rights equivalent to those of legal marriage.That's what it said.
Since it's a night for thinking of a crimson rose crowned with snow, I'll have some wine.
Good night.
