A survey in Japan shows that an increasing number of young children are using the internet and spending more time doing so. The survey is conducted by the Children and Families Agency. Nearly 2,000 parents of children up to the age of nine responded in fiscal 2024. Among their children, nearly 80 percent use the internet, including to watch videos and play games. The figure is up more than 20 percentage points from 2018. The time spent on the internet is also on the rise. About half of the children spend more than two hours per weekday. Professor Takeuchi Kazuo analyzed the survey results.
(Takeuchi Kazuo / Professor, University of Hyogo) “Using smartphones can be helpful for parents in raising children. But if there are no rules or limits, it can lead to disorderly lifestyles or addiction.”

京 1

2025年05月27日 | 土佐日記

【原文】 
十六日。今日の夜さつかた京へ上る。
ついでに見れば、山崎の小櫃の絵も、曲りの大路の方も変らざりけり。「売り人の心をぞ知らぬ」とぞいふなる。
かくて京へ行くに、島坂にて、人、饗応したり。かならずしもあるまじきわざなり。発ちて行きし時よりは、来る時ぞ人はとかくありける。これにも返り事す。
夜になして、京には、入らむと思へば、急ぎしもせぬほどに、月出でぬ。桂川、月の明きにぞわたる。人々のいはく、「この川、飛鳥川にあらねば、渕瀬さらに変はらざりけり」といひて、ある人のよめる歌、
ひさかたの月に生ひたる桂川底なる影も変はらざりけり

【現代語訳】
十六日。今日、夕暮れ時、京へ上る。
そのついでに見ると、山崎の町の店頭の小櫃の絵看板も、曲りの大路の付近も変わっていない。もっとも、「商人の心はわからない」などというようである。
このようにして京へ行くのに、島坂というところで、ある人がもてなしをしてくれた。これはなくてもよいはずだ。出立していった時よりも、帰ってきた時のほうが人はいろいろとするものである。これにもお返しをした。
夜になって、京に入ろうと思ったが、急ぎもしないうちに月が出た。
桂川を月の明かりのもとに渡った。人々が言うには、「この川は飛鳥川ではないから、淵も瀬もけっして変わらないことだ」と言って、ある人が詠んだ歌は、
ひさかたの…
(月に生えているという桂、その名を負う桂川は底に映る月の影も変わることが無い)


◆『土佐日記』(とさにっき)は、平安時代に成立した日本最古の日記文学のひとつ。紀貫之が土佐国から京に帰る最中に起きた出来事を諧謔を交えて綴った内容を持つ。成立時期は未詳だが、承平5年(934年)後半といわれる。古くは『土左日記』と表記され、「とさの日記」と読んだ。
