- Minapin  ミナピン -

The secret to the delicious taste of Hunza's specialty, dried apricots, is the aroma of the earth.

フンザ名物の干し杏子は、土の香りが美味さの秘訣。




People casually enjoy marijuana, which grows wild all over the place. On the other hand, people are cautious when drinking prohibited alcohol. Avoiding the eyes of others, the homemade liquor I licked with trepidation was more pleasant than anything else, numbing my tongue and my heart.

そこらじゅうに自生する大麻を気軽に嗜む人々。逆に、禁止されている酒を飲む時はみな慎重。人目を避け、おそるおそる舐める自家製の酒は何よりも心地よく舌と心を痺れさせた。




The delicious early morning air in the village of Minapin. No wonder, since it blows down from that mountaintop.

ミナピン村の早朝の空気の美味しさ。あの山頂から吹き降ろしているのだから当然か。




The luxury of walking because I wanted to walk.

歩きたくなったから歩くという贅沢。




He walks today as he did yesterday.

昨日のように、今日も歩く。




Long gone are the days when conversation was necessary.

会話が必要だった頃などとうに過ぎて。




A group of water frolics after being released from a glacier for the first time in tens of thousands of years.

氷河から解放され、何万年かぶりに、はしゃぐ水の群れ。




An individual brain that exists only for about 100 years just can't understand what DNA per se already knows. It would be a waste to get stuck in an unsolvable mystery.

既にDNAあたりが知っていることを、100年程度しか存在しない脳には理解できないだけ。謎に縛られて動けなくなるなんてもったいない。

At the end of a long, rocky mountain road, a green field suddenly opened up. It just looked like heaven.

岩だらけの長い山道の先に突然広がる緑の平地。天国かと思った。


                                        
                                        
Production area of high quality air.

空気の名産地。




The wind in my ears, the sounds of creatures fading, the occasional low bass of melting glaciers. I could look at it all the time and never get tired of it. I could close my eyes and never get tired of it.

耳に風、生物の音は消え、時々、氷河が溶ける低い低音。ずっと眺めていても飽きない。ずっと目を閉じていても飽きない。




This is where I will die, someone might have said.

死ぬならここで。誰か言ったかな。
